[St Charles Owl]

[Stairs]

Frustrating website, at least via iPad. Trying edit fastest lap and it point blank refuses to work.

[Stairs]

Sussed it now

[St Charles Owl]

Haven't done any updating on the ipad yet, used the laptop for this so far. From what I can see you did well on the Chinese GP predictions, slightly better than me I think!

[Stairs]

Yes, think I got the first 5 or 6 places. No idea what that translates to points though

[St Charles Owl]

No, I tried to work it out but gave up and will leave that up to pob!!!

China race recap:
A thoroughly boring race. An easy 1,2 for Mercedes, Hamilton wining from Rosberg.
Ferrari's easily third and fourth, Vettel from Raikkonen, but no serious threat to Mercedes.
Williams drivers next: Massa fifth, Bottas sixth.
A good race for Grosjean, 7th in his Lotus. His teammate Maldonado living up to his reputation with several crashes, although not all his fault.
Sauber again in the points, Nasr impressive again in 8th, Ericsson a bit anonymous in 10th.
Ricciardo at least scored points for Red Bull in 9th, although it was another disappointing race for the team.
The only excitement from the race came once again from the Toro Rosso driver Max Verstappen, with some great overtakes until his car gave up a few laps from the end.

[Stairs]

Yeah. Lucky guesses but happy to be featuring in the table instead of holding it up

Bahrain race overview:
Hamilton victorious once again for Mercedes, but his teammate Rosberg was beaten to the next step on the podium by Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.
Bottas was fourth for Williams, closely followed by Vettel's Ferrari who had to stop an extra time for a change of front wing.
Ricciardo's Red Bull placed sixth; his teammate Kvyat recovering to ninth after a difficult qualifying.
Grosjean did well to place seventh for Lotus.
Perez was eighth for Force India.
Massa in the second Williams recovered to tenth place after coming through the field after starting from the pitlane.

As we move into the European part of the season, many teams will bring major car updates which could see a reshuffle of the grid.
