Have to expect Ferrari to be back in the mix this weekend, with Mac and Lotus there or thereabouts. 5 teams in real contention, amazing.

I'm expecting Lewis v Sebi and Nico v Nando.

Just hope the TV director's up to it.

Missed the last two practices and I'm going to miss this one... Expecting at least one Merc on the first two rows and the bulls to be up there. Don't know what to expect from Mclaren this race tbh.

McLaren have been telling everyone that listens that they have figured out MP4-28's issue. Red Bull, Ferrari, Lotus and Mercedes will be fast with or without any major upgrades for this race.

Should be a wonderful doubleheader after a boring 3-week hiatus dominated by RBR's teamorder cr&p.

Looks like this weekend is starting to be dominated by the cr&p as well.
I can't wait till the lights go out.

Sky going on about arguments within Red Bull.

It's more the media and fans IMO, seems like RB feel like it is as it is and team orders are off the cards for the moment.

They might as well give 30 minutes extra to a feeder series practice session, it would be more useful to them

They didn't run in the beginning of FP1 even when they had limitless tires.

How much does Paul Di Resta pay Sky to say his name every minute?

This guy gets more attention than most front runners.

He is the 2nd highest British driver in the WDC, I don't see what the problem is.

Lewis has his hands full matching Rosberg at this phase of the season, but I think the twistier street type tracks which follow will suit him more.

Nico is really good around Shanghai International ..

I am actually surprised that Hamilton is as close as he is so far this season. I was expecting him to start doing that once they go back to Europe.
