Anybody have any thoughts ? Bit more lively than Bahrain
which was a snooze , good win for Jenson , maybe the smooth
drive style he has saved the tyres - not sure he would have held Hamilton off though if he had not have been called in for ano ther stop -definately seemd to be on charge , maybe would have got 4th and had Alonso if not for Webber .Surprised Ferrari didnt get Massa out of Alonsos way he seemed to be holding him up

Would they (McLarens) have caught Vettell ? if he lasted

Improvement 10/10 for interest , nothing like a bit of rain
to spice it up

It looks like Vettel’s bad luck is just sticking on him. Vettel was leading the race again, when in lap 25, the left front brake disk exploded. No points for Vettel, hope he will have more luck in race # 3 in Malaysia. At least Massa made it to the podium.

Luck has choosen its side.
The best driver lost his first place on a mechanical issue for the second time.

On the other hand, a strike at the start, a ride into the grass couldn't hold Button from a lucky victory.

Excellent and spectacular race from Alonso and Hamilton. Webber should be punished for two dangerous moves against Hamilton.

Brilliant race from Kubica. Second with a truck. He even managed to hold Hamilton behind him. Great driving.

Well, he has taken a good start and was in good position to take the 4th place when an unskilled guy pushed Alonso against him and broke his wing...

If you said yesterday, in the streets of Melbourne, I could agree. :)

Rain only helped this race I think. As you saw how Lewis couldn`t do anything about the Ferrari`s until the antics of a hot headed Weber stopped his progress. Lewis`s drive was very good and entertaining but me thinks there will be some words behind the scenes with him and his team.
Red bulls are in a league of their own so once they get the reliability sorted it`ll be a 1 horse race I think again and the rest can`t overtake.
Schumi, well what can you say? He was stuck behind slow cars and couldn`t overtake then when he did they overtook him again at the next corner but once clear of them he was matching the times of Lewis so again I think if any car if stuck behind it`ll be a boring race.

Think the Benz needs more grip at the corners though as you could argue how did Alsonso go from last to 4th but Schumi couldn`t but I don`t think it was his skill at fault.
I am not a Schumi fan but dont want to see him way back. I wasn`t a Senna fan untill you saw what he could do with a under powered car from 1990. Then he was one of my favs.

Great Race! Hammy was entertaining. Schumi had some tough luck , started last becuase of scuffle and lost nose, then climbed up six or seven places only to have to return to the pits and last place for tire change- fought for those last two positions and ended up in tenth. Great show. Love the guy. Alonso also very entertaining as always. All heart. Nice to see Massa did well. My boy, Kobiyashi also had really bad luck- the team let him down. And Vettel, what can I say, that kid got bad luck too. Button must have been very happy and releived. Very good race. Two races, two winners, two teams. I like it!! See you next race day.

Again, Vettel looked unbeatable, until his car let him down. JB drove a smart, smooth race. A deserving win. Webber drove aggressively, although if it had been a different track, he probably would not have hit Hammy. Hammy should not be making those kinds of comments over the radio.

Schumi drove a good race. I am not really concerned he is being outpaced by Nico. I'll make a more informed comment once we are at mid season.

Kobe is my underground fave right now; I like his driving style; and P Sauber is a great mentor for a young driver. Unfornuate what happened over the weekend.

I thought it was a great race, with action in the closing laps..

I didn't think this forum would accept that; you can add a 'signature' to every message you send. When I send an email from my office, it is 'signed' by my name, address, phone, email, etc.... automatically. Some of the other forums accept these signatures as well

To Mike or Jonathan,
If there is a problem with the signatures, please let me know.


All the forums I know allow this kind of signatures. After all, this forum is made for entertainment. If it may only be used to put professional or private information's, then I will simply delete my signature.
