Hamilton closes out Q3 with purple in sectors 1 & 2 to claim pole by nearly 3/10ths of a second from Rosberg.

Ricciardo has one run in Q3 and qualifies 3rd ahead of new team mate Verstappen and then the Ferrari duo of Raikkonen and Vettel.

Hamilton and Rosberg involved in "a racing incident". I would love to have been a fly on the wall in this debriefing.

So, your thoughts on the race?

It was a fascinating race!!

Not sure what Hamilton was thinking!

But without the Mercs, 2 teams and 4 drivers were fighting for the victory ... felt sorry for Ricciardo but I guess given that he had a puncture, it would have been much harder had he had it while in the lead!

Verstappen is a sensation no doubt but winning on debut raises expectations and that could have a negative on him

Red Bull should be strong in Monaco and then they'll have the new engine in Canada ... the season could get a lot more exciting!

It was a fantastic race. Turns out the only thing needed to make F1 super exciting is for the Mercedes to crash :D
