Well, I come back onto Stick Sports Tuesday evening, knackered from a gruelling exam and I suddenly find that it’s all change again! The Stick Sports team have gone round with their latest run of adjustments in hopes to make the site even better. It seems only fair that there should be some blogging on this. So now that I’ve cooled down a bit after the red mist that was LSA’s best tournament yet being destroyed by the change (and not for the first time either), I’m going to put some early thoughts...

The same thing is said about Monaco every year: people campaign for it to be moved aside on the calendar, complaining of dull, processional races. And every year Bernie Ecclestone fairly but firmly bats those thoughts aside. As the man himself has said, Monaco is the one track where it does more for F1 than F1 does for it.

After three long weeks it was a pleasure to the eyes and ears to hear and see 24 Formula One cars blasting their way around the Spanish Grand Prix. And while it wasn’t a classic race, it was by no means as dreary as Bahrain, and threw up a number of interesting stories to unravel.

1. Webber Red Bull-Renault 1h35:44.101
2. Alonso Ferrari + 24.065
3. Vettel Red Bull-Renault + 51.338
4. Schumacher Mercedes + 1:02.195
5. Button McLaren-Mercedes + 1:03.728

Another fascinating race, dubbed by Alonso as a “wacky race”, where really we had no clear idea what would happen till the last few laps. A sprinkling of rain, a couple of safety cars, all the top drivers sent to the back and forced to charge up. All the ingredients for an excellent race really!

1. Button McLaren-Mercedes 1h44:42.163
2. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes + 1.530
3. Rosberg Mercedes + 9.484
4. Alonso Ferrari + 11.869
5. Kubica Renault + 22.213...
