excellent to see ducati on good run
Ducati and yamaha drivers battle each other for positions

i didn't watch race been busy with other stuff but that is not matter see that ducati won and im glad hope they will continue with winning from now

don't underestemae ducati
you can see in batle motoGp austria series yesterday yamaha (lorenzo and rossi)
honda (marques dan dani pedrosa)
yamaha and honda ducati could not match, and was not able to catch Ducati, Ducati has always led from the first lap to the end

i think nobody in ducati expect the victory and second place (already because the last victory of ducati are in the 2010). rossi have lose a good chance to earn more point because Marquez drive injured

good resut in ducati team one two is ducati, andre ianone win, dovi is placed 2
complete result big ten

Is only time the same history for paid driver, start a season and later the sponsor don't pay for continue (already because not have sense pay 10-15 millions of $ for see the driver costantly in the last position).

Ocon can are better, is a mercedes driver and have win the gp3 2015

fantatistic rider ducati in qualifying Series austria
andre ianone is pole position   and DOVIZIOSO third , and three rider italia in front row 1,2,3 , second place valentino rossi
I hope rossi win and two rider ducati is podium

I think it will bebetter in for 2017 and i believe that ferrari and red bull will do much better

the situation of mercedes driver depend more of this year. If Hamilton win for the 3th consecutive time, i think rosberg can exit and mercedes really love the deutch driver (for this can attract Vettel).
Is time to Ferrari to work only to the 2017 car

 I would like to see that at least 3 team to be in battle for pole and win
I have been thinking what will you all think about winner to get extra weight on car
any tough about this?

i hope next not only one domination team
if one domination team formula one, race not attractive
3 year only mercedes is domination, only nico roseberng and hamilton batle and only team mate one team

I was thinking.  What made McLaren change engines from Mercedes to Honda?  I remember they used to have Mercedes engines with the V8's.  What made them switch to Honda's V6 turbo?

If McLaren were still using the Mercedes engines, they could be a contender.

I think Ferrari has lost their minds or at least it looks like so. They removed James Allison but now strong signals coming from the drivers of Ferrari that he was a brilliant man. Apparently Ferrari needed to remove one of their "big's" in order to justify their total failure during this year. Even Mclaren will pass them after 5-6 races and it will be no surprise to me even if this happens. I feel sorry for Sebastian Vettel going away from Red Bull to Ferrari to find a better alternative to win the title and unfortunately is finding himself in not a very good situation.

I agree.  Patience is key for Vettel.  After winning back to back championships at RBR, I think he should give himself more time to grow and mature as a race car driver.  He should have more faith in their engineers as I believe Ferrari has what it takes to be on top again.
