It was impressive, the car sounded utterly horrendous braking into every corner.
I'm hoping it's gonna be Alonso vs Hamilton for the title, those two are basically in a different league to everyone else in terms of driving ability even if some situations have played against them so far.
I bet Vettel will be in there too by virtue of having the best car though.
Ah don't get me wrong, i still though the race was great but rain and the craziness it brings is always welcome.
This from autosport.com:"From the start things went wrong," Alonso told Spanish television. "On the formation lap my gearbox broke and I had no clutch during the race, so I had to brake in a weird way.
"I had to first gear down and then push the throttle hard so it would engage the gear for that corner.
"So it was probably the hardest race of my whole life in terms of driving, because I had to improvise for every corner. But even so we were going to get a few points, which in the end was not possible because of the engine.
Quite amazing he could keep up with FM and even challenge JB in this way. Sounds like he was almost double-shifting like in a truck
Expect some fire from this man later in the season - although right now I think the RB's are in a different league.

I wasn't disappointed by the lack of the rain. There was some good racing from Alguersuari and Petrov, and obviously watching the faster cars make their way in to the points was entertaining. Really liked seeing Sutil hold Hamilton off to score his first points of the season, also Massa taking the championship lead was sweeeet. One thing that did disappoint me was the pace of the Williams cars in the dry. It was good that Nico got himself a point, but really bad considering where both cars started.
Kubica's drive was quiet, but solid. He scored decent points again and is really bringing something to Renault. He and Petrov seem like a good pairing for this year. Also, the double-finish from Hispania is good to see. If they can manage to get their car reliable, then they can start working towards moving forwards.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??
' car to be fair. RBR had there's, Macca will have theres. But Alonso drove superbly today and really showed talent and drive, i don't know what happened from going 2seconds faster than the pack to being pulled down then blow up? 
They really do have over heating problems and it needs to be sorted!! Vettel? I think he drove a clean race but it wasn't really won. It just fell really into his lap which i don't think is well deserved from taking advantage of 4 sick dogs...(McLaren & Ferrari) they made the right call but i don't see this a real show of who is the best....Were getting mixed messages so next round hot weather...All good cars and all good Qually. I want a real battle between the 5!!! Who are Alonso,Massa,Button,Hammy & Vettel!!! Com'On boys!!! Webber? I am not surprised and really don't think he desevred the win. Not impressed!!! Rosberg? Given the amount of times he is shun upon and the amount of times people over look him, i think he did a good job!! Well done! All in All a good race, solid results and has shook the pack up MORE!! I am appauled @ Ferrari this weekend and hope we can revitalize what seems to be 2 shocking races. 1 Due to weather which is uncotrollable but the other due to lack of judgment. So lets improve the car and get back on the pace!!! We need that winning form. 
a blender really, it just was a horrid car. The way he drove wa ssuperb and i think the past 2 races have not been the best. Oz which he could of won, and this race was bad judgement from him. I hope next round they have improved. But Hammy & Alonso do seem the 2 contenders. Button is a little like Massa. Lucky to be fair, until Massa really shows speed. i am a little worried for him. He did in the closing stages against Lewis, which i feel he felt more comfortable with the car. But he needs that all the time. Vettel will be a lucky man....That's all i can say.
