Entertaining race so far.

Too bad Bottas had to retire. Engine failure and they had problems the day before but they didn't replace it. Huge mistake.

Hey great words from Niki... "We were slower but Lewis made the difference today, outstanding passes he really is the best today" HELL yeah Lauda!!!

[CookinFlat6]

He is the best today I have ever seen in my life - N Lauda

YES!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Lewis, thats why I love Sports, what a race!!

[Nin-Chin]

Those overtakes made the difference,Vettel took much longer to get past,while that was going on,Hamilton extended his lead,perfect race,his passes on Webber were crucial too,It took him just 1 lap to pass,Vettel took 14 to pass Button,While Vettel was with him at the start,Vettel lost his chance when he spent 14 laps behind Button

Superb race!!! . What a drive!!! My heart was in my mouth at the pitstops and when Nico's engine blew. So happy for Lewis. HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!

More importantly, Merc can handle hot conditions with the tyres to be used for the rest of the season

Very well-deserved victory for Lewis, he drove brilliantly today. Strong race from Kimi to hold of Vettel, and from Webber to finish so strongly. Also good to see Williams get their first point and McLaren get a double points finish with quite a strong race from Jenson, who did very well at the start.

Romain has annoyed me again. His race was great aside from those two incidents and I think if Lotus had pitted him at the same time as Hamilton things could have gone so differently. He just needs to iron out his mistakes, but half-way through his second season he's really running out of time to do that if he wants to stay in the sport.

Finally, Seb's whining about Kimi was just ridiculous.

Don't forget they have about a 1000km less experience than any other team out there on these new tyres. Insane stuff, IBWT!!!

Without meaning any disrespect, I guess we should forget about the 1000km MORE experience they had with Pirelli?
And, the time they've had to take that feedback and use it to improve their car?

NONE of us was there, so NONE of us know exactly what was going on, during those three days! Not even the FIA
can confirm/deny what happened in Barcelona!

But, it looks like the proof is in the pudding!

((Sour grapes? Possibly; but, since then, Mercedes has made a "remarkable" recovery! Not that I minded today!! ))

[racechick]

But the tyres have changed since that test. Anyway nothing is going to spoil my today!!!! What a way to start the summer F1 break!!

[CookinFlat6]

Lewis and Merc beat red Bull today because of the superiority of Lewis' racecraft over Sebs full stop

No tyre problems for either car (or any other car). Everyone is on the same hymn sheet now

WDC and WCC result are not yet set in stone

[elfinitty]

I'm quite happy with both the race itself and the result I really enjoyed Kimi vs Seb at the end,I didn't want Seb to finish anywhere other than 3rd for my pool picks,so the battle made me more nervous than ever However seeing them two wheel to wheel was awesome
