In that case, with more degradation please. We would have gotten a queue of cars on hards all race, tyres were so OP today.

Cool race overall, in the end there were no boring parts, always some storyline developing.

Vettel isn't just last in the standings. He's not in the standings.

breakdowns like the one Max had is something I miss in F1. I hope it could happen more often in the next races, with another cars to make classification more scrambled

the only 90's thing missing was shady characters funding underfunded teams from the back of the grid

I managed to go on Saturday.

It was fantastic to see such a big event back in Melbourne, but there was no general admission viewing areas, unless you wanted to be on your tippy toes for 2 hours at a time or you're 9 foot tall, or you went to an area of the track half way up a straight where nothing ever happened.

Plus the 10 minute wait for toilets, 30 minute wait for incredibly overpriced food and drinks and 45-60 minute wait for public transport was deplorable.

Other than that, cars looked fantastic, managed to get a decent look at Seb's crashed Aston, even as a mess it looked great.

Oh and the S5000 cars are fucking awesome. Louder than the F1 cars.

Next year I'm getting grandstand seats.

Just FYI, administering penalties was never Masi's job - he could only refer incidents to the stewards for consideration on potentially applying a penalty.

Also, I actually found it funny that when Sainz got beached they did nothing for 20 seconds, then threw a VSC for a minute as if that was ever going to be a safe environment to remove the car in that position, then finally threw the full safety car.

But I guess this year will be full of people pointing at anything and calling it a sign that Masi was the problem :shrug:
