Good race; alot more passing than was expected; and was pretty unpredictable until it all unfolded after the second stops. Nice to see Castroneves winning, though its still another Penske!!

I feel really sorry for Marco. Lost the race because of a pit crew fuel error. But it's always quite nice to see Helio win a race.

I got the feeling Marco will be quick this year, again wouldn't count him out for Long Beach... He seems to have found the sweet spot in the car again, something no1 at Andretti Autosport did last year.

Well as pointed out by the Sky commentators, he didn't lose the race because of that. The only reason they were leading was because they weren't conserving fuel when everybody else was. So if he'd been running what everyone else was he wouldn't have been in position to win it anyway.

It would have worked if the caution was earlier. Either way, nobody was on par with the Penskes again.

He did pass Helio early on in the race. I still reckon Will Power would of won if his team didn't bring him in, but Marco should of won that, his crew screwed up. They even said that in an interview during the race. Maybe Helio might of done something, but it's really hard to pass here, i was surprised Marco made the move.

It's all IF's and but's, i understand that, but that's just my opinion. All in all it's quite clear Marco is doing a great job in a team which isn't as quick as Penske.

Race Highlights:


And check out this; Simona doing one of those circuit blindfold tests! I remember most clearly Ralf Schumacher doing one, and he was terrible. Pretty amazing how well she does!!!

If I'm being honest, so have I. I'm quite looking forward to the next race.

I wasn't really expecting any passing but there was still plenty of good racing. Was hoping Conway would get a better finish after qualifying and racing well. Sato was unlucky this time and Marco actually looks pretty good again.

Well done Helio.

There were a series of F1 preview programs which I've unfortunately forgot the name where Nico Rosberg drew all the circuits while blindfolded, seeming like Versus has learned a few tricks from it.
