They've always been cheating. Its just in the past they weren't called out or if they were they got away with it. Bernie's darlings while McLaren faced his wrath. Maybe Bernie sees than no one wants to see the Bulls romp to another title. Boring team, boring driver. Viewership and attendance falling, thus the revenue stream goes the same way. Time to call the Bulls out!!

Bring on a new darling! It's now Mercedes turn either thru the factory team or McLaren. After all they have earned (paid the fines)it!

It'll be interesting to see how the Bull's appeal goes....

Apparently Bernie Ecclestone was also not impressed by the sound:

AFAIR, one of the teams that was pushing the most for the new V6 Turbo engines, was Renault. Ironicly, a year after the decision was made, they left the F1 ...

BBC Sport - Bahrain Grand Prix: Hamilton & Rosberg in 'wonderful' duel


Shame about the engine noise, but if it produces stuff like this .....

Sorry Ferrari, but this doesn't look like taxi driving to me

Agree, seeing Hamilton and Rosberg fight for so many laps for the lead was exceptional.
Then all the fights between teamates made it even more enjoyable. I was ecstatic
for Checo's podium -- he deserved it for quite some time.

True the Ferrari's are in a different category as Raikkonen mentioned. I trully hope that
they improve their power plant, but that won't happen overnight.

What a race in Hungary. Normally it is a boring one since it is like a kart track for
grown-ups; however, rain helped the show considerably. The final 10 laps were on the
edge with Alonso leading the race with (soft) shot tires, then Hamilton with (medium)
shot tires and then Riccardo with new "soft" tires. What a battle. Unfortunately, Riccardo
did the best with its tires and won the race. Alonso must have been so thrilled with this
second place.

Amazing race to watch...lots of drama!!

Alonso fan here but glad to see Riccardo win
