Take the teams control of the power management away and give it solely to the drivers with no tyre sensing. That would be fun, we all know how disciplined drivers are😁

Seriously! Take those sensors away. Stop the teams from telling the drivers about the temps. Let the drivers figure it out. Reward them for their efforts with power management 😉

No chance of taking away the tire sensors. Too big of a safety issue.

How is it a safety issue? It’ll be rare that they are too cold with the exception of an outlap. It’ll be more common that they will overheat, which would spice up the grid. Temp sensors weren’t always around and the drivers made do relying on skill. I still say take em away 😉 so does Paul di Resta and Johnny Herbert 👍

Yes every team has their own qualy mode, but the dividing factor is none of the engines are the same. Even factory and customer (Ferrari/Haas & Mercedes/Williams) teams are different... so, each teams qualy mode performs so differently.

According to Kimi, Alfa doesn’t. But then, they usually start somewhere at the very back of the grid this year. :/

So Ferrari finally replace Vettel's chassis, and he's 0.01 slower than Leclerc in FP1.

I'm surprised that there are no comments on the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying. Then again, HAM, BOT and VER at the top of the time sheet isn't very surprising.

It will be interesting to see how the tires hold up during the race on Sunday and if Tracing Point's qualifying pace can translate into a solid race pace.

Tough track to overtake on. Hopeful Max can make it another win

So Hamilton wins yet another processional race, in the words of BBC Sport, 'the rain that was hinted at earlier sadly looks unlikely to hit the track to add some much-needed late drama to what has been a pretty routine race'.

Thank the lord I cancelled my Sky TV Sport subscription.

Now what we need is for Bottas to be sacked by Mercedes who pinch Max, Bottas then goes to Red Bull, then we would see some racing as I don't see Lewis being so dominant over Max.

Decent drive for Vettel. The Ferrari clown show continued today.

Bottas honestly just doesn't have 'the right stuff.' Rosburg would play all the games, be extra aggressive and still took luck for him to win the WDC. Bottas is just waiting for the wins to come to him, rather than being aggressive and trying everything he can. I miss those days

Yawnfest. Not sure why Pirelli continues as to provide tires for F1. I understand they are building a spec tire but it seems like every driver out there has nothing positive to say about their tires.

We go to a track that you can't overtake on with tires that cant be raced on...what gives?

Ferrari always provides entertainment with their clown operations.

If F1 was a yawnfest, the Motogp2 & Motogp races were certainly eventful.

I could see Rossi retiring after that. He certainly looked shaken in the pits afterwards.
