Alonso pace is pretty decent to me. Problem with FER is that I expect them to underdevelop during the season compared to other teams.

[ramparter]

And I am never gonna believe all the supposed experts preseason predictions ever again...

LOL @ Mercs laaping everyone else 2 laps...

They seem to be doing rather well in the first half, but are always getting beating into a bloody pulp in the second half.

Oh man that gif is amazing

[kiyomi]

Been a pretty dull race, all told. I want to see that Hamilton/Vettel battle up at the front.

 

[Psychotext]

Not a classic race by any means.

Feels like last year but with a different car up front.

 

[Salamndar]

Should have been Hamilton's day

 

[ElTorro]

Surprisingly few DNFs

 

[Zeknurn]

Zzzz.... The Bottas half of the race was good though.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

It's good to see an Australian driver in F1 after all these years.

 

[RukusProvider]

Very much doubt that Ferrari will be able to catch up and then keep pace in development with the other top teams.

Kimi could be a real bust if he doesn't' get his head around the new car.

Great result for Ricciardo, Magnussen too.

 

[brotkasten]

The race could've been more interesting, if Hamilton didn't have his engine problem.

 

[Staab]

That result makes me very happy

 

[duckroll]

That was a pretty good race. Eventful first half, and satisfying second half with newbies and underdogs getting on the podium. Good start to the season I think.

 

[hamchan]

Really happy for Ricciardo.

 

[nny]

Impressive display by Nico.

Congrats to Ricky and Magnussen!

Williams made more points today than all of last season, right?

 

[criesofthepast]

Ricciardo giggling like a school girl. Good for him.

 

[Draconian]

Kimi could be a real bust if he doesn't' get his head around the new car.

*sigh* Can we wait until a few more races before we start throwing out this kind of hyperbole?

 

[tm24]

That crowd shot of Ricciardo and the crowd was pretty great.

So I'm so totally in on F1. Was great to watch

 

[Dead Man]

Danny Ricky laughed like a horse.

 

[Lach]

wait why did rosberg drive into the number 2 spot?

 

[hamchan]

I think Rosberg drove into the wrong spot? Lol

 

[ramparter]

Keven already beat his father records! Should be proud of him.

Race was boring considering all the hype, like watch Nintendo @ E3

I'm happy for all the front finishers. I always believed in Ros, I want to see Ric give Vet a tough challenge and it's allways good to see a new rookie have a good start! Congrats to all of them.

 

[Juz]

Shame about that Bottas crash. Maybe could have been fighting for the podium. Kimi was disappointing though.

 

[RukusProvider]

Practicing.

 

[Psychotext]

Practicing.

\o/

Getting ready for the team orders.

You must be in the wrong thread. There's no common sense here. Champions are crowned on a race by race basis.

LOL @ Mercs laaping everyone else 2 laps...

It is quite possible we haven't seen Mercedes' real race pace yet, as Rosberg didn't have his teammate there to push him. That plus two safety car periods eroding his lead.

 

[Tempy]

They swapped the boards; no problem!

 

[jey_16]

Race wasn't fantastic but a lot more cars finished then I thought! Great job Ric, I really hope Ferrari have some more pace in that car

 

[tm24]

Oh man, that group hug jump was so endearing

 

[TylerD]

Very impressive job by RBR and Renault. Car didn't seem like it was going to finish the race not long ago.

Awesome drive by Ricciardo.

 

[olore]

Oh look, the german anthem again

 

[Lach]

and once again...the german anthem...

 

[ElTorro]

Great podium.

Wonder if Magnussen is allowed to drink alcohol.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[brotkasten]

And here we thought we wouldn't hear that anthem that much anymore.

 

[Psychotext]

Like I said before, you'll never see 2 laps, there's no point. No point in a lap even any more. They could have easily lapped everyone else, but why when the biggest advantage you can ever use is a about 22 seconds for a pitstop?

 

[Timbuktu]

Oh god the German anthem again. Minus the finger.

 

[nny]

Oh, the end of race tune is still the same as last year. P

 

[Tempy]

McLaren leading Constructor's Championship after 1 race. Not bad.

 

[ramparter]

Williams made more points today than all of last season, right?

Yeap, 8 today, 5 last year.

 

[TylerD]

Oh god the German anthem again. Minus the finger.

Just one anthem and missing that Austrian anthem. Not as bad!

 

[stryke]

Great podium.

Wonder if Magnussen is allowed to drink alcohol.

It's 18 in Australia, he's fine

 

[Lach]

Did the old man just push over Rosberg to get clear of the champagne?
