Not the greatest race on track, but I'm over the moon with the result.

Good results, kinda boring race... At least I got the fastest lap prediction right!

Anyone but Alonso or Vettel. In that sense, good result. Smart strategy, but Ferraris are faster.

Not too long ago I saw silly comments like "LOL Vettel's 4th title. See you in 2014." This race just made those look even stupid.

Vettel on the podium again, even though it didn't feel like he did much.

Couldn't have asked for a better race, great job Kimi
Ferrari seems to be fastest but overall it's going to be interesting season start. Red Bull, Ferrari and Lotus all have a fighting chance. I would throw Mercedes into the mix too but it I predict they are going to have lot more mechanical failures as the season progress. Also it's great to see Webber isn't doing his share of the work and hopefully this will be his last season in F1.

Brundle is doing the interview. Should be fun. I wonder if Vettel is going to me too-curse again.
2011 Australia
Surprised by the amount of clean and sensible racing, it was only a few years ago were the safety car wracked up a impressive stint and we had incidents like webber drunkenly smashing into hamilton.
Far more professional this time round all though a few of the backmarkers are going to need a slap.
But to be honest the track was too cold today for anyone to pick out a order of cars, merc tried to do a two stopper and lapped too slowly for too long for the late switch to a three to be effective.

Indeed. It's good to see that Qualifying pace may not be the be-all this season.
Great result for Raikkonen, fantastic driving all round by him and most other drivers actually with little incident despite some hairy moments.
I really hope McLaren can wake up in the next few GPs though because this is looking very 2009 for them so far, yikes.
At the back, Marussia faster than Caterham, yey. At the end Bianchi managed a 1:30 on the super softs which is frankly impressive pace.
Onto Malaysia, where unless if it rains we're probably going to see a totally different GP. Much hotter track, different wearing on tyres so should be fun.
