I'm obvisouly I'm a big fan of Massa. So I am fairly bais, but who isn't these days. But despite Massa not looking like he's on best form, this is the best start to a season he's ever had by far. Leading after 3 races. Great decisive overtake on Button today had me screaming with joy.

Thing is, Massa usually isn't on form the first few races, and he has looked unsteady at times. China is usually a poor race for him as well. But when we get back to europe, hopefully we'll see a couple of race wins at places like Spain and Turkey. Enjoying this season. I'll admit it would take a lot for Massa to win this season. Alonso is so quick, and Vettel's pace looks onimous. McLaren are around as well. It's just such stiff competition.

I still don't get the hate on Vettel. Many people said before this weekend if Vettel started anywhere but pole, he'd either wander around, or blow the race completely. To be fair, he proved a lot of people wrong today. If anyone is favourite for the title, it has to be Vettel right now.


Also have to say brilliant race for Algy. He was deffinetly faster Buemi, and was able to pull of some pretty impressive overtaking maneuvers. Around the outside of turn 5 on Hulkenburg Hugely impressed.

Agree. But i still feel that Massa does have a chance of getting a few solid wins!!

Alonso was beyond brilliant today to even get past quarter distance. Yes he scored no points but i dont think any other driver would persist like that, and overtake.

Anthony Davidson couldn't belive it either, he was equally stunned,

Hamilton was also very good today and easily the most exciting driver to watch on track although he did get briefly owned the mad russian Petrov.

Very pleased for Vettel and Rosberg getting the results they deserve at last

bar the first race i think we are having one of the most excitng starts to a season in years

Had to say I enjoyed that as well. Loving how the Gp2 boys are sticking it to everyone. Di Grassi, Hulkenburg, Kobayshi and Petrov take no s***.

Technically Hamilton Rosberg Kovalainen are also GP2 boys

I'd say right now the Williams is a lot lot worse than the Renault, the Renault is a pretty nippy car.

it isn't doing too bad. It's were you would expect it to be, but a little better. Kubica and Petrov seem to be a good match.

Kubica and Petrov very similar aggresive driving style.
I'd watch for the Renault around Monaco as well. It's quite a compact little car compared to the torpedo cars that are Ferrari and McLaren.

Also if we were to mention every driver from GP2, we have Di Grassi, Petrov, Hulkenburg, Kobayashi, Buemi, Hamilton, Rosberg, Kovalinen, Senna, Chandock, and Glock. 11 drivers means nearly half the grid are from GP2.

Really if your looking into F1 today, you either have to be in GP2, or be a Red Bull driver.

Monaco did jump into my mind. I think a car like theres and the pairing really do have a chance of maybe a win in a specific circuit like monaco or the other street circuits. Where dominance and blocking works. Petrov really proved his worth today, he just needs to keep it up. I think the heat really is hard to deal with when it's your first season.

Good race though....

Good race though....

Alonso is the best on the grid no doubt with Hammy next to him. We got this one F1ea

I Think Di Grassi did well to finish first out of the new teams, especially considering the tank isn't big enough to last a whole race without taking it easy towards the end
