Bernie is writing his own history - it won't be remembered as positive, not by the fans at least.
He's trying his best to ruin things - why?
Money and power 
How would trying to humiliate drivers etc help him though?
Cos he believes what he's doing is right......a bit like the Tory party 
And also UEFA did 
Hope he's gone v v soon
There's a few thinking along those lines hence the 'open' letter
Looks like they have now reverted to the 2015 qualifying format.

Round Three - Shanghai Qualifying Highlights.
I always get excited until the programme starts and I hear the voice of Jones - I MISS YOU SUZI PERRY
Shame about Hamilton having to take a grid place penalty. Darn that gear box 
Oh No !!
Not even qualifying for Hammy.
Tough day tomorrow for him, especially if that ERS problems takes it's toll.
I need to get off to the football, but it's been a very mixed qualifying, the wheel incident knocking out the Mac Lads amongst others.
Let's hope the race itself throws up some more mixed fortune/incident tomorrow.
Well Hammy reversed in the pit lane so a starter from the pit lane tomorrow seems fitting.
And quoting his own tattoo for inspiration 
Goooooooooooo Kimmi !!!
I predict Ferraris will be good off the line tomorrow, with Rosberg possibly losing a couple of places, expecting Ricci to be good initially but drop off as the laps progress.
Lewis to finish a fighting 5th.
Hoping to a Ferrari engine issue at some point allowing Williams to move up the pack.
Big shout out for MacLaren - come on lads...

Kind of academic now though!

When I wrote that, little did I know he was not even going to put a qualifying lap in.

Instant classic.
Not much luggage space i'm guessing.
Way to make your day even harder Lewis

I take that back on replay, it looked like Sainz came into him.
Was Kyvatt at fault there?
Is this going to be a genius move by Mercedes with Hamiltons tyre change?
Exciting and interesting.
Probably not as bad a result for Hamilton as one would have expected given all his issues and 47 pit stops today.
Red Bull, are they creeping back into contention as a competitive outfit?
Not quite the race I'd hoped for but not too bad considering.
Oooooh go for it Vettel - you tell Kyvatt (who should have been banned)
Good race for Red Bull - hoping this is the start of a come back
Disappointed for Grosjean and Kimmi - no luck today
Sour grapes from Vettel, IMO. I'm usually on Vettel's side, but today I'm with Kvyat.

Yes, I think he probably went a bit overboard. Kvyatt seemed to handle it quite well. Vettel is getting a bit of a rep for blowing off then calming down later and realising he may have been a bit OTT.
Still, good telly.
Russia this weekend. Qualifying's not until 5:30 pm 0n channel 4.
Well. that was a bit...........unexpected.
.
Here we go 
C'mon Kimmi !!!
A solid 3rd for Kimmi
Naughty Kyvatt was entertaining as usual. Vettel aint having any luck - a bit like Hammy.
Wish Ch4 didn't have the rights to F1 - it's rubbish
Well I did not expect that from Russia!
- Loved Vettel's four letter outburst in the car, I think we were left in no doubt how he felt. Although it would seem that after the race he admitted to lifting off as he thought he had a puncture.
- Lewis is not getting any luck at the moment and it's starting to show in his body language. Still he did quite well to get to 2nd, so should feel a little better.
- Pleased for MaClaren picking up points and looking like they have made a step forward (6 years and they will be challenging up front).
- Also please that the Williams team picked up some solid points.
- Still hate Steve Jones - consummate tosser.
Kimmi looks like Sir Walter Scott !!
Max Verstappen replaces Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull for rest of season
I think they pulled the trigger on that one a little too quickly.

I agree EC. Knee-jerk reaction. There'll be some red faces in that camp before long, I reckon.
