    The new qualifying format was rubbish. I don't now why they even changed it.

    Hello Rayna, whilst being interviewed Lewis Hamilton was asked about the new Format for qualifying and he said it was perfect for himself but he was aware that fans were not keen on it, his suggestion was to try four different Formats over a period of four qualifying sessions and pick the one that suits both fans and drivers. Good Idea?

    Well they're scrapping it already and will revert back to the old format in the next race.

    Lewis has a penalty for new gearbox so will start tomorrows race in sixth position at the Chinese Grand Prix, will find out later today who will be in Pole position should be a good race as there is plenty of scope for overtaking. I don't care whose in Pole as long as it isn't Nico. Change of plan, Lewis now starting last due to engine problem during qualifying, shame really but I'm sure he'll do plenty of overtaking as long as he doesn't have any more problems.

    Well, Lewis came second and to be in third position from tenth in the first seven laps was amazing, good race. Putin seemed to be enjoying it, he didn't get wet this time.

    Sad to say, though I still watch the races, 50% of my interest has gone due to the rubbish-sounding hybrid things they are now driving, and all the petty rules and regulations.

    It used to be about brave drivers and monster machines going as fast as possible.

    More fun on my Xbox... watching my own replays back !

    I can even drive most of the F1 tracks, plus the TopGear test tracks.

    Haha.. I wish Michael

    No, they are real, accurate replays (from spectator view) saved after 'real' races on my Xbox.

    I tell you what Michael. Give me an idea of what cars you'd like to see yourself racing in (Old classics from the 50s right up to present day exotica), and I'll sign write it up for you, give it a race, and then upload the replay to youtube so you can show your friends.

    1950's BRM V16, the type that Fangio used to drive, now that was a car to be reckoned with and I'm sure you would have loved to have been let loose with

    Michael... I don't have the (lovely) BRM... sorry.

    Howabout a 1956 Jaguar D-Type, or an Aston Martin DBR1 ?

    Here you are Michael... your D-Type Jaguar, just updated with a bit more power, modern tyres and some suspension and braking improvements to keep it competitive.

    Here she is in action...

    First... at the TopGear test track:



    .

    Here at the Silverstone GP circuit... very lively on the bends, because lacking in modern downforce 'spoilers' and 'wings', to go with the 500bhp.

    Also, Silverstone, but from the driver's viewpoint:

    You're welcome Michael. It's fun doing these little projects, just a shame that the quality of the videos is degraded when uploaded to youtube... but still, better than we had access to when we were youngsters, eh.

    Yes... British racing green, of course.

    (Oh, ta for the rep mate )

    Well Lewis and Nico really cocked it up costing Mercedes the price of a new A380 having said that a thrilling race as Max Verstappen won, the youngest driver ever to win a Grand Prix at only 18 years old, well done Max

    Brilliant outcome, brilliant race, Hamilton, Vettel and Bottas made the podium, Max Verstappen really made Rosberg cry.
