What a joke!

I like the gamble by McLaren but it didn't pay off.

The rain sucks.

I run 2, 4, 10.

Yep of course this is looking exactly like last year. Mclaren are losing out to both Red Bull and Ferrari.

We've got an Aussie at the front, and an Aussie at the back. West Australian at the back!

My wife and I were discussing this tonight.

McLaren was likely not going to catch Red Bull. But to be jumped by Ferrari at this stage is just demoralizing.

Heads should roll.

Yeah, this off-throttle diffuser ban was certain a huge step forward for Ferrari. The McLarens have always been strong in race trim than in qualifying though, so it may be too soon to write off their weekend as a complete failure. We don't know which cars are going to be completely reliable either.

It also looks like the rules could get reverted back to pre-Silverstone engine mapping if the Renault-powered and Mercedes-powered teams can convince the rest of the paddock. There has to be some sort of compromise between the teams as the rules for this weekend's race won't make it to the next race by the looks of it, and that would reverse Ferrari's progress as well as McLaren's demise.

You are so well-spoken that I you almost made me feel better.

But - alas - I am far too negative tonight to be influenced.

I am sick of McLaren half-assing it. They have a massive budget, the best people and committed drivers. They should not be qualifying last in Q3.

People know me. I am a McLaren fan. But - first and foremost - I am a Lewis Hamilton fan.

It is getting hard for me to endure this.

Sorry, a bit frustrated.
