Prost stand on Sunday for the Race. Hopefully a great spot as this is on the corner entering the front straight and has a view of one of the slowest corners just prior. cheers Gregg

I'd like to know what the spectators thought about the "new and improved" Qualifying format? On TV it sure was a total screw up!

I Agree Qualifying was pretty ordinary! What they had was OK. So why fix something that isn't broken??

As Toto Wolf said afterwards "I think it was Rubbish" - I agree with him.

If Qualifying means half the cars stay in the pits for the count down then I think they have got it wrong.

Qualifying was...anticlimactic.

I hope they return to the old format.

Just got home from the race, Pretty good race I reckon. A Safety Car in the last 15 laps would have made it much closer but all in all a good race I reckon. cheers Gregg

Was out there all weekend walking the track (and occasionally in the Clark Stand at Turn 9/10). Great event as always. Qualifying was rubbish, no big finish with hollywood lap times at the end of each session.

First time i've heard the new era engines and I miss the old screaming engines. You are reminded each time of that during the Ultimate Speed Comparison! However, the race itself was great to watch. Plenty of excitement with Ferrari and Ricciardo keeping Mercedes on their toes. Hopefully throughout the season the Ferrari guys are able to reduce the gap to Mercedes so we can see some real battles!

Oh and Haas did very well too with a 6th place finish for Grosjean on debut! That was very surprising to me!
