Not as exciting as the last race, but interesting. Pitting early seemed to be preferable to going as far as possible on the tires. Hamilton had it pretty easy except for a minor off that cost him 7-8s. Been disappointing to see Kimi having a rough go back at Ferrari. I thought he'd challenge Alonso, but it's not even close. Enjoyed Red Bull team orders. Interesting Alonso rumors. I'm a bit surprised that McLaren ran so well in Australia but have fallen back as the slowest Mercedes now. Do the cars sound better or have I gotten used to the sound?

Was it one or two races ago when Team Red Bull was throwing shade on Webber during the broadcast? I guess it's not so easy to concede when being told to move over. :D

It is only a matter of time before they change the RB10 to suit Vettel at the expense of Ricciardo. But it sure is fun right now.


I'm pretty sure they've adjusted the mics on the track to blend a bit more engine noise into the broadcasts.


I sure hope Nico can make the title race interesting.

Nope, they still sound like crap, but like you, I'm getting used to them.

They basically said Alonso (or probably his manager I'd assume) has been making phone calls to get out of his Ferrari contract. the usual BS we hear about him...

BTW hearing Vettel basically tell the team to F off was funny, but at the same time when they did it to Webber and he said no Vettel cried like a bitch. Ricciardo just smiled about it and said whatever, in the end he got around. I don't think they are gonna be so quick to hand it to Vettel if he keeps acting like a little c u next tuesday.

Honda would love to have Alonso involved with their return to F1. Ron Dennis stepping back into an active role with the race team will be an obstacle though.

I have a feeling that bridge is burned, even with Jesus Hamilton gone.....
