After suffering poor getaways in Australia and Bahrain, Lewis Hamilton's troubled start to the 2016 Formula One season is likely continue at the forthcoming Chinese Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver recovered from a first-corner collision with Valtteri Bottas to finish third last time out, but damage to his gearbox in the Sakhir, Bahrain, race has forced the three-time world champion to accept a five-place grid penalty in Shanghai.

Another race in damage-limitation mode is to be expected, but Hamilton has insisted he is not yet ruling out a third successive Chinese GP victory.

While Hamilton will start no higher than sixth, Fernando Alonso will be grateful just to make the grid on Sunday.

Following his crash at the season-opening Australian GP in March, the McLaren-Honda driver is ready to return to the cockpit after Stoffel Vandoorne's assured stand-in drive in Bahrain.

But the FIA have announced that a final decision on Alonso's participation in the Chinese GP will not be made until the first free-practice session has been completed, with the governing body understandably taking no risks with the two-time world champion.

In their efforts to catch Mercedes, meanwhile, Ferrari have taken quite a big risk by sacrificing their previously impeccable reliability record, with Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel retiring in Australia and Bahrain, respectively.

And while the Prancing Horse appear to have made progress over the winter, Raikkonen believes Ferrari have plenty of room for improvement.

Elsewhere, Felipe Nasr has explained how Sauber's financial problems are affecting the race team. Closing this roundup is former F1 driver John Watson, who has criticised the Grand Prix Drivers' Association.
