Not only that,but he knows he has to score points early and he knows his car is quick and probably feels it going to waste and destroying his hopes.

He's allowed to be bummed out for a little bit. I think that's understandable and human. The worry is that who know what will break or blowup in the next race.

Factor in that that's a snapshot in time, a photo of possibly hundreds where 2 secs later he's similing and not looking so pensive. It's easy to form a conclusion on an isolated image, but I think you'd find he's fine if there was video of that exact moment in time.

Let's hope it is something like that.

How would you feel but? You know you have a car quicker than last year and have the pace to challenge and it's taken away from you before the race can even begin.

I enjoy observing trained professionals how they individually cope with adversity, especially those on the north fringe of the sport. Seb is not performing too bad.

Was my first thought as well... just a moment in time with a particular few seconds of pensiveness, nothing in all seriousness I feel

Greatest athlete bay far IMO is Michael Jordan, for someone to play at the maximum for as long as he did and how he did it, never seen in any other sport, let alone the dominance he did by as well. He would also hit the game winning shot with seconds, if that, to win the game time and time again, he was stone cold, pressure didn't affect him.

Here is a nice video to show you exactly what I mean.

So much for all statements from BBC sport and some other "experts", that Ferrari is on the par with Mercedes. I have my own doubts about where Ferrari's performance is, while hoping, there will be more than three victories collected, and someone else will stand on the top of the heap in December.

I am one of the so-called experts, and I say by Spain, listen carefully, that Ferrari will be on par with Merc, if not faster.

There, you have all heard it from me... for your repusal and amazement

I am just praying this is not going to be one of those - Ferrari is not stopping because it is broken, but merely to be admired by fans everywhere.

GRANDPRIX247

Ferrari is working flat-out to upgrade their troublesome turbo unit, according to reports doing the rounds in German media.

The major daily Bild, and the specialist Auto Motor und Sport, say the turbo fix is due in May.

And the broadcaster RTL says that until then, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will be running their current turbos – whose design was fundamentally changed for 2016 – at reduced power.

“Experts believe it is costing them up to half a second per lap” at the moment, RTL said.

Ok, should I come back in May?

Ferrari is quiet about what's going on with Sebastian's gearbox. I am referring to his radio call to pits - stuck in 1st gear.

Why even bother? Thought bernie was trying to cut costs? He's a brain surgeon that man isn't he?

This is now the second time Jock Clear has not proven in his new job his worth IMO. Having said that, Seb claims his was not the best lap, which merely confirms, that strategy has to be slightly less risky. There was no reason for not running two qualifying laps.

I am not sure how Noble can write that Ferrari is matching Mercedes. That sounds like a bad joke to me. Two race, two DNFs. In the third race, Sebastian had his hands full to keep touch with Kvyat, nevermind catching, and overtaking Rosberg. SM could be as angry as he wants, but IMHO the red thing is not ready to beat Mercedes yet. I am not sure who or what is in his focus, but today probably was a day when no one could escape his wrath.
