So, McLaren, Mercedes, Lotus, Red Bull battling at the front. Alonso dragging that PoS Ferrari into the points and Sauber & Williams in the mix too. It's going to be a great year! |

This reminds me of 2009. Teams all over the place. I recall that year Toyota were 1-2 on the grid in Bahrain, and then two races later they lined up 19-20. Could be a year a little like that. |

I'm loving the "3 races, 3 different winners" thing too What's the longest that streak continued for, 2003? Hamilton might well make it 4 from 4 next weekend, who knows then Vettel and Webber might get their act in gear for the next races for 6 from 6 and even Micheal might sneak one... 7 from 7 please!

Remember in 2010 when the leader of the championship never won a race? Wonder if that might happen this year... |

I've still gonna wait for some races to see how they all perform after all the car updates. Probably Red Bull will get closer to McLaren, that would be a cool duel. Mercedes and Lotus just behind and a no men's land from there on. I'm still voting the Rate the Race tread with 2005 standarts. I may change that, but if not, I may give 10 for all the calendar. The only bad thing on the races atm is that there's 17 car figthing and dashing for position, it's too much to keep up. If I saw only half of that I would be estatic already some years ago. This is the Golden Year of F1 for me. Just need an epic 2010 like fight for the Championship and we'll be crying why F1 isn't like it was in 2012 anymore for the rest of your lives. |

Interesting that Hamilton pitted first today even though Button was leading on the track. |

Button saying the data shows that without the problem on his last stop they would have caught Rosberg with 2 laps to go. |

Here's a useless fact: China 2011 and 2012 both featured 23 finishers, with the only retirement being caused by a wheel that wasn't attached properly at the driver's first stop. (2011: Alguersuari, 2012: Schumacher). |

I'm surprised of the pace of the whole field. Everyone, except the "new teams" were in the lead lap. And even they were just one lap down (except Kovaleinen and Karthikeyan). This concerns also the previous GPs, but today we had no safetycar. |

Mercedes GP fines 5000 € for Schumacher pit stop incident. |

Idiotic penalty. Schumi pulled off in less than half a lap and the wheel at no point became detatched. |

If Webber and Hamilton hadn't got caught up behind a bunch of others they would have been more in the mix. If Schumi hadn't had his issue then he would have been a factor in the top 6. But these things didn't happen. So there's no point dwelling on it. |

The FIA report says that Schumacher pulling off quickly helped to mitigate the penalty. Presumably he would have faced the Alonso treatment if he had tried to make it back. |

I'm starting to think RBR's racepace is better than McLaren's, when you look at Vettel's race with two pitstops (not 100% sure, could be three). Anyone who agrees? |

So let's assume the wheel parts company with the car and the driver (minus a wheel) gets back to this pits, has a new wheel fitted and then gets back into the race. How is that any different to a driver crawling around the circuit with a puncture, leaving huge amounts of rubbing carcass as he goes? There's no penalty for that. |

How is that any different to a driver crawling around the circuit with a puncture, leaving huge amounts of rubbing carcass as he goes? There's no penalty for that. I think these rules were written during the hyper-critical period of immediately post Imola 94. The feeling being, threaten to fine the teams enough and they'll suddenly wake up and stop endangering people's lives. At that point a mere puncture had never hurt anyone, so I guess they left that out of the regs. |
