    Lewis is often on the radio complaining about tyres or questioning the strategy. Max is often raging down the radio and comes across as a lot more petulant.
    Lewis seems a lot more able to collect his thoughts and move on.

    When you've been racing for as long as he has you earn the right to question decisions, too. We know from last year on occasions he got it right and the team didn't, but vice versa happened too. It's that last bit that Max doesn't appreciate.

    They listen to each others' team radios so I think a lot of it is trying to spoof other teams. Eg saying your tyres are shot might force a naive team into doing something different to their original plan. Part of the overall entertainment, aside from people like Vettel and Mad Max who I think are just whingers :D

    I did think Max was bluffing initially when the safety car came out, luckily he wasn't :D

    A missile strike hit a oil/fuel storage facility just a few miles from the racetrack yesterday and drivers didn't feel safe to race this weekend however after 4 hours of talks they were convinced to race mainly because they were told if they didn't they might not be allowed to leave the country.
    A few years ago Saudi Arabia did exactly the same with the WWE. The WWE cut the live feed after a dispute over money and in return Saudi Arabia essentially held the wrestlers hostage refusing to let their plane leave the country.

    If anything good can come from this it's that hopefully formula one will sever all ties with Saudi Arabia after this weekend is over.

    Looks like Las Vegas is being added to the calendar next year. Could be an interesting backdrop. Wonder if it is replacing Sochi?

    Martin Brundle is more hip replacement than hip. He's not very up on his celebrities :D

    I went to Imola a couple of weeks back, my first GP. Proper old school track and atmosphere. Loved it. Senna memorial was emotional - sombre indeed. Tifosi were something else. Red Army!
    I am no petrol head, but now my interest is on the up, I would have loved to have experienced a newer circuit in a new location. Maybe one of the American circuits next year if I keep interested and am still blessed with good health. YOLO, as they say.

    Can't blame him. Absolute farce of a grand Prix with hundreds of irrelevant 'celebs' wandering around for the free hospitality and supposed fans sat facing away from the track watching TVs and paddling in pools.

    How articulate and well put by him. Speaking outside of his native language so well about foreign matters.
