    Mclaren Honda are a bit difficult to read right now. I'm reading lots of reports with lots of different theories. Some saying they were only running 30% engine output today, which I'm pretty sure is false. If that's true Mclaren are going to destroy everyone later in the season. 

    But I'd hazard a guess they might've been running on pure ICE power today. If you look at the end of straight speeds they (relatively speaking) aren't too bad - Button was only 10kph off Ricciardo in their respective fastest speed trap times. If the MGU-H wasn't on there would be nothing preventing turbo lag, which would explain why he seemed to lose so much speed in acceleration zones compared to Perez when he was racing him. Plus Button complained of having to do a lot of fuel saving, suggesting the electrical systems may not have been in effect.

    On a different note did anyone else notice a portion of boo's today for Hamilton on the podium? Don't condone such actions, F1 should stick to being F1 and not football. But it's a funny old world isn't it. With every moment that passes by, the admiration for Vettel from the Tifosi is growing, and Hamilton is taking up Seb's old spot of crushing everyone at every race. 
    Seb got booed too.
