I loved the race. Three different teams on the podium.No Ferrari on the podium (I have been a Ferrari fan for donkey's years but even I need to see them go down now and then to keep things interesting). This is what you call a proper race.I loved every part of it except when hand of god came and let FA pass HK especially after his gutsy overtaking move and of course the whole RB pit messup.
I also had a funny moment when Sato's car with the big H on the wing broke down and my girlfriend said there goes your S2000.

You have it all wrong. When it comes to McLaren...its the Devil's work. The Devil will not give McLaren everything. You know what they say when you make a deal with the Devil

I was most impressed with Rosberg's effort and the Williams Toyota. Heck they had both cars in the points! Impressive.

I expected some carnage since it was the 1st race and all the rule changes but it was plain CRAZY!! LH was locked in for 1st - but it was mad chaos behind him.

Finally - I prefer F1 without TCS. I want the car to have the latest tech but I want the best driver to win. I.E. 50% car - 50% driver. Previously I felt that it was 70% car and 30% driver.

i was soo surprised how rb preformed. i am pretty sure everyone didnt expect that. now i am kinda debating if i should switch dc for rb. hmmm...
So, not understanding the rules, not following the rules and being a cheater impresses you?

Honda should be stripped of their points for this race, RB COMPLETLY BROKE THE RULES when he exited pit lane under RED.

McLarren. i am just very bitter towards them. just a quite an emotional race for me
On this we completly agree!!!

I'm sure the Ferrari boys back in Italy are hard at work already tearing down Kimi's and Force India's engine to fine out what happened.

Honda didn't get any points Doug

None for team, none for driver. RB was disqualified.

Guy must've forgot they need to put fuel in the car. He raised the lollipop as soon as the car was on the ground
Exactly right, and last year they had at least one situation I can remember where a pit person was injured because of premature lollypopping.

premature lollypopping...
