What do you reckon.... Ricciardo for the championship???

I don't like the engine sound but love the turbo hiss, and being able to hear tyre squeal is great
I fancy Rosberg for the championship. Magnussen is simply brilliant too, what a driver - a future world champion for sure
Ricciardo lost his 2nd place
The sound is a big problem, a lot of people are pissed off about it, it's being addressed

They just don't sound like racing cars. Watching the race was very strange, it was as if the sound had been turned off
They don't want to lose promoters and their money.“I've had one or two promoters get in touch with me today and they said how unhappy they are,” added the 83-year-old in a separate interview with Reuters. “I spoke to [Ferrari president] Luca di Montezemolo just now and Luca said he's never had as many emails on his desk complaining and saying this isn't Formula 1.”
The sound is a very big part of F1. Just hearing an old F1 car starting up was enough to get you excited, these things sound about as exciting as a Ford Mondeo“I was not horrified by the noise. I was horrified by the lack of it,” Ecclestone told ESPNF1.com. “Ron is right with regards to their contract. And I was sorry to be proved right with what I've said all along; these cars don't sound like racing cars.
“I've been speaking with Jean [Todt, FIA president] this afternoon and what I've said is that we need to see whether there is some way of making them sound like racing cars. I don't know whether it's possible but we should investigate. I think let's get the first few races out of the way and then maybe look to do something. We can't wait all season. It could be too late by then.”
Blimey what a brilliant race
Brilliant wasn't it!
Very interesting feature on sky f1 about merc's engine too - they're the only team to put part of the turbo at the front of the engine which is where their advantage has come from
yup... was a great race.. edge of your seat stuff... hope the battle between the Mercedes drivers runs all season long.
How about a V10
Or even better V12
Sounds like music
