Lewis did his talking on the track as he said he would. And to all those who said he was not as good as Kimi.Well i think he's just proved you wrong. Faultless drive and able to handle no traction with ease-not so kimi.
Great to see him on the rostrum with Nicco and great to see Ron up there!
Best way to answer last year

He is nothing more than a lucky bar steward! I can assure you this is all but futile as at the end of the season Ferrari will be champions again whether done on the track of through the FIA's help. Glad I didnt go to race day anyway. Too hot and I would of probably fainted in the stupid 40 degree heat. Too hot in stupid Melbourne. Its been over 30 all week and it isn't even going too cool down in a hurry! I almost died in 32 degree heat yesterday at the track when watching the qualifying!

Luck? I think there was a little more involved than luck

[umair_theheadliner]

ferrari were absent today, lewis took full advantage of the situation, nexxt race will be more interesting

Congratulation to Hammy & McLaren, from todays showing it seems they have the package & another bullet proof car.
And looks like BMW & Williams are showing some promise.
All we need now is for Ferrari to show up and do something and we should have a very interesting year.

[AKR]

Congratulations to Heinfeld for giving BMW a great result. Feel sorry for Robert Kubica though. Congratulations to Rosberg as well and a special thanks to Alonso for re-passing Kovalainen towards the end for fourth and denying stupid McLaren cheats a point. And as for Hamilton, whatever....... I'll just ignore Lewis as he makes me bitter and sad.

Hamilton
What a superb performance by the lad, his celebrations with Ron and Nikko were a joy to watch, real passion, reminded me of a young Senna. Kovi made one mistake (or was it a glitch) all race. Wonderful to see Williams on the podium again and Niko looked stoked eh?
The expression on Uncle Rons face makes me think Whitmarsh may have to wait a while yet.
FIAt, nowhere.
Coulthard made the quote of the race when asked about Massa taking him out
" If he does not apologise I'll kick the s*** out of the little Bas****". Go Coulthard!
Mac Lads take the win.

He simply did a good job driving an excellent car from pole and got extremely lucky due to Ferraris bad luck from qualy and the race. nothing more.

Faultless drive and able to handle no traction with ease-not so kimi.

Kimi passed 8 cars in the first 3 turns with heavy fuel.

Extremely happy for McLaren, Dennis, and Hamilton. Well done to you all.
phren, I too thought of Senna when I saw the celebration from Hammy with Rosberg! God I miss Senna!
Kovi said he accidently punched the pit-lane limiter while going for a tear-off allowing Alonso to re-pass him.
Kimi was one of my favorite drivers when he drove for McLaren and I still think he is great fun to watch but he made some boneheaded mistakes today. It doesn't sadden me at all that not one Ferrari finished the race. I do wish the Ferrari lump in the back of Bourdais' car would have survived though. Ferrari probably has a self-destruct in it's customer engines for use when both Ferrari's cars go out! JK!

Senna just flashed into my mind when Hamilton grabed Rosberg and they both jumped up and down. Still chokes me to see that yellow helmet in a McLaren and it's not Senna. But Hamilton will keep the fire alight.
Just as an aside and to delight the conspiracy theorists, Bernie wants out of Aus right? FIAt dont win in Aus, Bernie has an easier time convincing FIA (t) to go somewhere else?

This is getting really old and childish. LH, Kov, Kimi, Massa, Kubica, Heidfeld are the top 6 drivers and they are good at what they do, there's no luck. If you have facts then lets see it otherwise don't support your facts with just he is lucky.

What I am saying is that if Ferrari drivers didn't run into trouble today they would of both defeated Lewis. In fact all the good potentials that could of won over Lewis Hamilton had a bad day. The Ferrari car is simply better than that of McLaren. Everyone has a bad day. What comes around goes around so it will eventually happen to McLaren and things will even out and the guy with the best car will win like last season. Don't worry this insignficant first race of the season means nothing.

You cannot say that with any level of certainty. It is merely a prediction that could go either way. Even without the problems, Massa wasn't quite on the same pace as Hamilton. Raikkonen had his chance and made a mistake, followed by another one. It happens. You also cannot say that the Ferrari car is better than the McLaren because, this weekend, that has not been proven so. The McLaren has been faster in almost all sessions and has shown great reliability, whereas both Ferraris have suffered numerous problems. The Ferrari car is good, but it's too late to be saying who has the best car and who doesn't. The best indications will probably come when we reach the European races...

Well I still disagree. Ferrari was quickest in pre-season testing and the mistakes that Kimi made were his mistakes not Ferrari's. Clearly McLaren had a better day not a better car. Lewis better party hard and take this opportunity to celebrate because he will be getting used to coming second more often after Ferrari wins most races after this. Unless of course Ferrari has a bad race everyrace which is unlikely.
