Schumi does know he has a car that can win races now though Artur. Certainly some reason to be happy.

I think the "problem" with the first half of the race, if you can call it that, is that the time differentials between the cars were so small you effectively had the majority of the field having use of DRS.

Making only two stops when pretty much everyone else made three: Excellent.

Taking your first win: Incredible.

Making a load of armchair experts look stupid: Priceless.


Yeah I'd go for a two stop "load up the plate" strategy, maybe with a long first stint to combat the undercooked early burger /food poisoning risk.

Yeah, I remembered just after clicking on the submit button... Still, that's not a 24/24 race I think due to his retirement.

Brilliant last half of the race! Rosberg thoughroughly deserved it - not that I'm necessarily a fan of his, but it's so nice to see.

Which is more due to circumstance. Had Mclaren not screwed up that stop I'm sure Button might have had something to say about that.

Decent race, crazy second half of the event. Raikkonen's fall down the order was just 8O . Hopefully we get a replay of Alonso versus Maldonando versus Kobayashi. 3 wide madness.

DRS wasn't that great today. Congrats to Nico though. :thumbsup: The Mclaren is still the best car and I think that will show itself when we have some more typical F1 races.

30s separated 2nd and 16th at the finish, without SCs. Wow.

The Ferrari won the WCC in 1982, the only reason they didn't win the WDC is because they couldn't get through the season without having to replace the drivers.

Doubt it. I can see them scoring a few more wins over the season...

Good job by Romain as well. First F1 points courtesy of 6th. Now it's just Massa who hasn't scored a point in the top 9 teams.

Um, not entirely sure where the BBC got those constructors standings from. Apparently Red Bull are leading with 106 points :?

Great effort from Williams managing to score points with both cars.

I think McLaren will be kicking themselves that they aren't further ahead considering the speed advantage they have. Bahrain should be interesting as the track temperatures will be significantly higher.
