What's interesting is that Hamilton and Rosberg are most evenly matched out of the lot, and they are the two that are fighting for the championship.

And yet we still complain about various things :)
Finally we get another 88 season, let´s just sit back and enjoy every second of this.

Who´s gonna win it? I have absolutely no idea and it´s great.

Apart from the unfortunate DNF's for both Rosberg and Hamilton, you're spot on. Just enjoy the racing because it's actually been pretty good this year!

They really fought only once - in Bahrain, by accident and it was thanks to artificial gimmick everyone hates called DRS and SC. Canada wasn't really a fight. Considering they are evenly matched you'd think they'd be next to each other often than that. I know what you mean though, they were both given a chance to win WDC so even if it's a bit of a fake battle credit to Merc, something to look forward.

Too bad no one else is fighting for anything, Ferrari is perhaps fighting reality against marketing battle and I'm glad to see it's losing. If you ever wondered who is behind driver choice after recent over the top support it's the same bloke who is about to fix F1.

There are still some fights below Mercedes,

Force India and Mclaren are separated by 2 points. Williams / Ferrari by 5 points.
And Red Bull must be feeling the heat from a charging Williams that no doubt can climb up and challenge them towards the end of the season if they keep this up.

And the intra team battles at mclaren and force india are also close enough for interest.

At fi I'm intrigued because I am of the opinion that hulkenburg is the clear better driver all round, and yet when fi is most competitive - Bahrain, Canada - it's perez leading the charge.

As far as the wdc battle is concerned, were there not reliability issues and poor quali performances in 88 too? I don't really see the difference other than that we haven't got to the finale yet (and when we do double points could skew the final result). In saying that, I've always felt that 88 was skewed by only taking results from top 12 (was it? ) races, so maybe it's even more similar!

I guess it's for Hungary: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115099 Drivers warned after Raikkonen crash :"It was my view that Kimi did not rejoin very safely and should have taken more care. "All the drivers were reminded that when rejoining across grass they must take care and cannot expect it to be manicured like a football pitch. It simply isn't feasible."

It took them three weeks to come up with this? Guilty conscience and it only shows they know they're cheating in two tier F1. This is how it works: pretend that nothing happened, no investigation is the best option, if you start to investigate you have to give a penalty, you just have to. So delay as long as possible, then when it's quiet pull some half-hearted yeah but... Reminder, what a hell FIA? As if drivers didn't know that and needed reminder weeks after incident? Best warning would be to give a race ban, how about that, or 10 places grid penalty. So it's "don't leave and return to track like an idiot causing high-speed accident but we won't do anything about since nothing changed"? Good reminder :) .

Shocker! ;)

Was interesting to see Alonso only 3 tenths down after two sectors on his aborted lap but then he was having all sorts of problems in the final sector so we'll see if they can sort that out. They're always deceptively close in FP1 anyway, so let's see, but good that Kimi's closer than usual.

Does not mean anything. Raikkonen is too slow, so Rosberg will win:

Merc look in class of their own compared to anyone. Vettel was 2nd fastest long run in FP1 and he's a good second or more off the pace. Worryingly for RB and the rest, if you look at their comparison in FP1 long runs at the previous 2 races (Germany and Silverstone) they are usually much closer to Mercedes. Assuming they're running similar programmes we could see an even bigger gap here than at other races.

The amount of rear sliding today is simply staggering. Rear tires are completely cooked after 2 hard sectors. Live feed is basically just a bunch of replays of people either understeering or oversteering all over the place. RBs are wild and don't even get me started on ferrari.
