Great race! Sutil was doing very well today. McLaren and Williams were very disappointig. But I've really enjoyed this race and I can't wait for Malaysia next week!

Great start for Ferrari. Nice victory for Kimi. Red Bull of the pace.
Red bull of the pace? if any team is off the pace it must be McLaren
What i meant was that i expected them to be closer based on the qualifying sessions, but of course McLaren is the team that's behind in the start of the season.
Well, as expected Lotus doesn't have the pure speed to match any other team, but their car is a lot easier on tires, which allows them to make less stops, which isn't even close to being possible for any other car.
Shame Grosjean had a differential problem, or we could've had a Lotus 1-2

Lotus really surprised me today. That is a fast car, that is quite easy on its tyres as well.
The Ferrari was the quickest race car yes, but it is harder on its tyres and they got held up by Sutil for a while.
Red Bull doing a usual early season race for them. Good but not great.
Mercedes underwhelmed massively. Hamilton passed at the start then just faded away. Shame Roseburg retired, but he wasn't looking like featuring.
McLaren just poor through and through.
Surprise of the day was Force India. They made those tyres last and last, and were still quick. This could be a good season for them.
Still way too early to really tell anything about how the season will turn out.
Cannot wait to watch the highlights this afternoon, sounds like sh*t went down!
Why is Mark still with Red Bull? They have treated him like dog turd since 2009, and treated him below par since he joined them. Mark is nicest guy on the grid and deserves so much more!
Ok ok, race drivers are supposed to race, but how many times has Webber held back? Several is the answer! He always gets the short straw, even when he leading the WC back in 2010...
Well done to Lewis for maturely handling the post race press. Looked like a sincere apology to Nico. But i know Nico will get his turn in front, and that Hamilton will sit back.
Mclaren are a joke at the moment.
Alonso unlucky, but he will still be there come the end of the season.... Unless Massa keeps this form up. He looks as good as his '07 season. Not quite '08 class yet, but by the end of the season i reckon he will be back up there. Just need Alonso to not throw a strop like in '07 and ruin both drivers seasons.
Forget the racing itself, all the drama is in the teams themselves it seems.
It's been a while since I was last bothered to watch a race - but this was fun. Vettel not caring about team orders at all, Hamilton pitting at McLaren, Rosberg's "Remember this!" comment and the most ice cold podium I've ever seen.
