If Max had another lap, I think he would've gotten him

Perfect way for Lando to start the season. I think he needed the confidence to start from pole and take it home!

Racing is awesome to watch. It would've been interesting to see how McLaren strategy would've changed of Oscar was still running 2nd when it came time to pit.

Good start to a fun year! My only wish is they could make tracks that had more spots to pass.

I'm a big fan of chaos when it comes to F1 races as it means we will get something exciting to watch, this weekend did not disappoint. I hope that Lando and Max can fight it out all year, I get bored pretty quickly when one guy wins every weekend, so this year looks promising so far.

I think the rain is the only part that kept Max in the hunt. The McLarens had significantly more pace.

That's my complaint with F1, it's the very limited passing. Seemed like where you qualified was pretty much where you would finish. Although it's been a little better the last couple seasons. Indy car is a lot more entertaining in my opinion.

The cars have gotten so big/long that overtaking is more difficult on certain circuits as well.

Hamilton's good times with Ferrari are underway as he takes pole for the sprint race in China!

Slightly biased because I can't stand Lewis... but he dominates in Shanghai; he's won there 6 times. I bet T1 in the spring race will be interesting. Max is quicker off the start.

In that case you're probably glad he got DQ'd today. Something about his car not meeting a thickness requirement.

Nah. I don't want anyone to get DQ'd or hurt; Lewis the Kappernick of F1.

Too much wear on the wear plate, presumably from being too low. The other Ferrari DQ for being underweight. Their ability to step on their own dick is amazing

Man, Ferrari has been struggling for the last 7 years or so with bone head issues.

Needles to say McLaren has the fastest car right now. It'll be fun to see what the other teams come up with to be competitive.

Now that Yuki has officially replaced Liam at Red Bull, I hope he performs well and secures his seat for at least the rest of the season!

I wish they would've just done it from the beginning. The Red Bull car will be hard to jump straight into and rock; but we'll hope for the best and see!

They have been struggling far longer than that… Ferrari hasn’t won a constructors since 2008… Kimi was the last driver to win WDC with them..
