Its got like the end of Oz race, set off pretty good and then no one gaining on anyone DRS doesn't create overtaking.
Pretty dull.

Hold the phone, i thought Lewis couldnt think through a race, look after tyres, save fuel etc? LOL
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Sends a message to Rosberg too, to win so comfortably. BUZZING

Dunno, i thought it was excellent
Suppose when your favourite drivers/teams are just battling for the minor places (again) it could be a little boring though.

Ha Jonny thats no different to last year but least was more overtakes.
Alonso on Hulkenberg the full straight with DRS and made little to no advantage had to do it on turn 3 after bit of battling round 1 and 2.
Last year would have got passed then next DRS point the Hulkenberg would have been back at Alonso and so on.
Its great for the cars and changes to driving styles but 15-20 laps in it turns into a procession again.
Vettel was always ahead but racing took place behind him.

With that one I'm pretty sure Alonso held back on the first DRS as he knew he'd give it back to Hulkenberg, then got him on the 2nd, though the performance difference between the Merc and Ferrari probably made it harder than it normally was in the past. I didnt like DRS when it was simply, get in the zone, breeze past, it should be harder than just driving round someone. Far too artificial.

Love the fuel use stat. Surprised at how well lewis managed the fuel and tyres considering he's supposed to be a crazy chav tearing up the place without thinking about the latter stages.

Indeed Usual media shite.
Be interesting to see if Rosberg had some kind of issue, certainly he didnt pull away from the RB like he did in Aus and i was surprised by the gap to Lewis, expected it to be closer than that.

10 place grid pen for Ricciardo's unsafe release. Looks like Webber's bad luck has smoothly transitioned itself onto Ricciardo

I thought he got a 10 second stop/go for that? Can't be penalised twice, surely?
Team should get a massive fine and/or championship points take away, not penalise the driver for something that he had no control over.

I think the racing is very dull too, the fact the cars sound like hoovers doesnt help matters either, sometimes you cant even here the engines lol. Dissapointed so far, i'm a hamilton fanboy and didnt even get excited about the win, meh.
Also kimi looks a bit like massa in that ferrari lol

The fact the engines sound like hoovers is due to the fia and their stupid retarded fuel flow bollocks to minimise development costs and Competition.
They said on Saturday that the engines are only revving to 10 or 11k. Pretty shit considering they're made to go upto 15k or so iirc.
Let the teams have free reign I say. Fuck the minnows, they're shit anyway.

It's a safety thing too. You can't have cars going round the track at vastly different speeds. If one guy is fuel saving and the other in full attack mode the difference could be huge, with clever maps you could have cars, at times, with something like 300bhp more than the car in front. It would also look ridiculous and be hard to follow. You'd have cars literally drive round others then a few laps later the car that just did that would get passed the same way by the same car they just overtook.

Finally realised it was the noise of the V8s that kept me awake the last few years.
