Welcome to the third round of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the only fantasy Formula One game worth a damn. This week we continue our eastern adventure by heading to communist-capitalist joint clusterfuck known as Nouveau China. But who cares about human rights when the circus comes to town? Right? No? Well fuck you and your concerns too, because it's race week!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Ferrari makes a triumphant return to form by winning a race with a German driver. Yup that damn finger is back as is the prancing horse. Mercedes had a massively disappointing weekend scoring second and third place finishes with Hamilton and Rosberg, respectively. Ferrari also got 4th with one hell of a drive from Kimi, who's had some miserable luck this season, it looks like the former champ has be reduced to Massa status, but we'll see if that's the case. The Williams duo finished 5th and 6th with the Finn higher. The Red Bull cars had a terrible race finishing behind the Torro Rosso cars, further eroding the rocky relationship with Renault. Renault might just yet buy the former Red Bull junior squad if Red Bull takes their toys back home. Poor Romaine Lettuce finished just outside of the points ahead of Sauber's Felipe and the penalized Force India drivers. Manor meanwhile had an amazing weekend with the one car starting and finishing the race, unlike McLaren who might be doubting why they went with Honda power.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

This week will Mercedes return to the top of the podium? Will Kimi cath a break and a win? Will Vettle be too hung-over to race? Can Williams do anything? Will team Lettuce finally unleash the potential of their Mercedes power? Can Sauber get back to scoring points? Will McLaren get a point this year? If they get beat by Manor I will laugh hysterically and buy a shirt from them.

Curse, Rosberg! He let Vettel get past with such speed last race it was as if they were working together, against Hamilton! I see Rosberg coming up all 6's and 7's and 9's, which I think is bad, it was in the song Tumblin Dice, so, gotta be bad. I bet Bobby Keys taught that to the Stones, amongst other things…

You joked about Manor beating Macca this year, but they will be getting the 2015 spec power unit probably in time for the European leg of the season
