Ricciardo's performance is being talked up about the place, particularly in Aussie media, but he's still only placing on the grid about where he has been all season.  It's been made to look noteworthy by the poor performance of Tsunoda so far this weekend.  I note it didn't take long for the supposedly "matured" driver to rediscover his potty mouth when he didn't deliver the outcome of recent weekends.

That opening series of never-ending corners look like they are a nightmare to drive.  Hard to find a quick line consistently through there, the cars look like they are dawdling even though the screen graphics still show a speed of 100km's or more!

The Verstappen show continues unabated, at least he's had to work a bit harder for the W so far.  I've been listening to the Sky UK feed, Croft and Nico Rosberg have been a painful commentary pairing.  I like Nico and have watched a bit of his YouTube channel, but his ability to describe a lap needs some work.  Hope Brundle Snr is back for Miami.
