Monaco was probably even crazier than usual yesterday. It started under the safety car due to the weather and ended dry.

Monaco! The race where half the grid ignore the silly helmet rule and have a special helmet anyway.

Well… That was one hell of a race! And if you’re fed up of hearing about Verstappen there are two things you can do now. 1. Stop reading this. Or 2. Drink every time you see the word Verstappen, your choice.

The start of the European season is here with the Spanish GP and Red Bull have surprised most people by promoting Max Verstappen to Red Bull and putting Daniil Kvyat back in Toro Rosso.

First of all, apologies for the late Russian GP stats, I haven’t been feeling too well recently and still not great now but they have to be done. Anyway, this is the third Russian GP, and only six months since the last one as the F1 calendar was mixed up quite a bit this season.

So a few years ago I wrote about the women of F1, and following the simply moronic and outdated comments from Bernie Ecclestone, I felt I needed to add more.

Thankfully the FIA have FINALLY seen some sense and reverted back to 2015 qualifying from the 2016 Chinese GP onwards.

Another race down and another win for Nico Rosberg, who has now won the last five races.

So after changing their minds about 20 times between Australia and now, qualifying for the Bahrain GP remains the same as Australia, though by Saturday it will have probably changed another five times.

What a way to start the season, qualifying was a complete joke (and luckily they have returned back to the previous format already), but the race more than made up for it, despite the slightly predictable result.
