Greatest-ever F1 races
Ashley Redman: As a Button fan, it has to be the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix. All the emotions across a 4 hour race and then some!
Gary: Win in Valencia 2012 with Schumi on the podium! Some of Fernando's overtakes were ridiculous that day and the passion on his face was incredible.
Good shout, Gary. Good name too.

Greatest F1 races
Ranting MrP: 2008 British Grand Prix. Lewis starting from fourth on the grid. Day was wet as a river. But Lewis just floated through the mayhem and the chaos, masterful drive to win a fantastic race. That was the best race I've watched!
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's a touch under 30 minutes to go until lights out. The pit lane is open and the cars are on their way to the grid. Here's what strategies we could potentially see today...

Formula E recap: Mitch Evans takes victory after second-lap chaos

Image source, Getty ImagesPoor Antonio Giovinazzi is really not having a good start to his maiden F1 season with Alfa Romeo. Each race he has hit problems of one kind or another that have prevented him showing his true potential, and in China it was caused by the same engine problem that had cost Charles Leclerc victory in Bahrain.
Ferrari had fitted new electronics to the factory cars to avoid it and they offered the same to both customers. Haas took it, but Alfa Romeo did not, because they did not have time to fit it. And it bit them. Team boss Frederic Vasseur said: "We have apologised to Antonio, and it's 100% my fault. I assume responsibility because Ferrari proposed to us to change it. It's always easy afterwards to say it could have been better, but we knew coming to China and doing the new installation was also risky.”
As for Giovinazzi’s performance, Vasseur said: “We are 200% supportive with Antonio. I know what he is able to do, I know what he did before, I saw every single day what he is able to do. It's not's obvious so far on the timekeeping, but I'm sure that he will show it as soon as possible.”

Image source, Getty ImagesBernie's a man who has, of course, seen them all when it comes to Formula 1 races. He was a sprightly 19-year-old participating in the support race at the 1950 British Grand Prix. I doubt even he could have imagined how much of an influence he would go on to have on the sport.
As Formula One celebrates its 1000th race this weekend, the 5 live F1 team sit down with the former boss of the sport Bernie Ecclestone.
We hear his views and memories on a wide variety of topics from attending that first race in 1950, to what he now misses about the sport and why Ferrari need to return to winning ways.
It's a landmark race in more ways than one for Toro Rosso, this being their 250th in Formula 1.
Their very first race was back in 2006 at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Vitantonio Liuzzi and Scott Speed were their drivers in that race, finishing 15th and 16th respectively.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt’s been a difficult start to 2019 for Renault, neither car making it into the top 10 in qualifying at the first two races, and reliability troubles blighting them. But the car had appeared as if it might have some decent underlying pace, and in China they have proved it, taking seventh and eighth on the grid - and finally Daniel Ricciardo looked like the driver everyone knows he is by edging ahead of Nico Hulkenberg.
Ricciardo said: “My Q3 lap was actually a little bit messy in the final sector, so I was happy to hear we had finished seventh. (In the race) we’ll realistically like to hold onto the top seven and see if we can go after sixth.”

Saul Sylvester: Some great races. But Vettel's moment if madness was in Baku 2018, not 2017 And say even in that incredible list of races two that could be considered: 1999 European Grand Prix - Herbert and Stewart write history 2014 Hungary GP - Honey Badger's last gasp.

This is how it shapes up on the track for today's race.
It's a two by two affair at the top of the order with Mercedes locking out the front row with the Ferraris just behind them, followed by the Red Bulls, Renaults and Haas.

Image source, Getty ImagesMercedes have won both races so far this season - but one of them was very much against the run of play, Lewis Hamilton inheriting Bahrain after Charles Leclerc’s engine went sour. This time, there might be a third potential contender in Red Bull.
Max Verstappen has been within touching distance of the front all weekend, and was initially very angry when a traffic jam at the end of qualifying contributed to him not making it round in time to complete a final lap. After swearing liberally about Sebastian Vettel and the Renault drivers, he later calmed down and admitted that the team had not left him enough time anyway. He felt a spot on the second row had been possible, and he is out to make amends. “It will make the race more interesting,” Verstappen said. “We have good race pace, I’m not sure if we have the pace for a victory, but for sure we will fight for a podium.”
Team-mate Pierre Gasly finally made it into the top 10 this season, which on paper is an improvement - but he benefited from the midfield being further away this weekend. The Frenchman was a massive 0.9secs off Verstappen and needs to start upping his game.
This weekend's Chinese Grand Prix is Formula 1's 1,000th race.

I met someone at the British Grand Prix a couple of years ago who was at the very first F1 race at Silverstone back in 1950. He couldn't remember much of that one but he still had some great stories to tell about the races he had seen over the years.
