It's been a good 1st practice session for Hamilton as he comes out on top, 0.2 seconds ahead of Vettel in second.
I know it's only the first shot in a long weekend but after the Monaco disaster it can only help his and Mercedes confidence.

Raikkonen fastest in 2nd practice with Hamilton coming in second, but Hamilton seemed to be having grip problems with Mercedes taking a long time to prepare their ultrasoft tyres to get the best grip.
It's looking like it's going to be a really open race and I'm really looking forward to it.

Vettel now fastest in 3rd practice by 0.3 seconds to Raikkonen and Hamilton.
The Ferrari's are starting to show their pace and Mercedes are still struggling with their tyres, it will be a very interesting qualifying session.

A superb final lap from Hamilton puts him on pole, 0.33 seconds ahead of Vettel followed by Bottas then Raikkonen.
Mercedes just seemed to click and the tyre problems weren't an issue, Hamilton has now equalled his hero Senna's record of 65 career pole positions.

An excellent win for Hamilton puts him 12 points behind Vettel, the race couldn't have gone any better for him.
Alonso has a rant on the radio after being easily overtaken on the straights and then breaks down again. Will he still be there at the end of the season? At the minute I think not.

It's nice to see Kubica back in F1 after he nearly severed his arm in a rally crash a few years ago.
After his recent testing for Renault teams may be interested in bringing him back into the racing fold next season and I for one would be pleased to see him back as I do rate him as an excellent driver.

I know we're not even halfway through the current season but the provisional race calendar for 2018 has been released:

Germany and France are back but China and Singapore are in doubt.

It just gets worse for McLaren as both Alonso and Vandoorne will be starting at the back of the grid in Azerbaijan due to an engine upgrade which has taken them over the permitted amount of parts they're allowed to use in a season.
We'll have to wait and see if this upgrade makes much of an improvement on the cars performance, but let's face it they desperately need to do something.

The Azerbaijan GP weekend kicks off at 9-45am today, hopefully Hamilton can build on his Canada success and cut Vettel's lead at the top of the driver's championship or maybe even go top himself.
It'll be interesting to see how the McLarens perform after their engine upgrade, although they will both be starting from the back of the grid due to penalties imposed for using more engine parts than they're allowed to.

First practice is over and the Red Bulls finish 1-2, although both Vettel and Hamilton, who finished in 3rd and 5th, weren't on the fastest tyres so the session wasn't really representative of what's to come later on in the weekend.
Perez had a big accident, having an argument with a wall which unsurprisingly came off a lot better than his car did, so we didn't have a full session while the million pieces his car exploded into were cleared off the track.
