We had an exciting race last weekend in China, starting off with a lot of rain and ending with...some rain. I've had a busy week so I'll keep this brief; Ferrari is still fast, but came in second, Hams ties up the Driver's Championship with a perfect weekend (pole (fastest ever lap), race win, fastest race lap), Alonso DNFs again with a late race retirement after showing promise, tire choice bravery pays dividends, Kimi hates his settings, a young Italian crashes on the final turn twice and Red Bull has a great afternoon despite being down on power -- Verstappen takes the last podium spot after starting from 16th. With the tire smoke clear the Drivers Championship standings are as follows: Vettel, Hamilton, Verstappen (-18), Bottas (-20), Raikkonnen (-21), Ricciardo (-31). This weekend in Bahrain should be another great race.

Enjoy your weekends.
