What an excellent race, I really enjoyed todays action. Nice result for Rosberg, Button, Hamilton  and I thought the BBC coverage was good, missed Brundle tho' :y

Yep - a really excellent race. :y
 

Also interesting to note that there has been a media storm this weekend about whether or not they should be going to Bahrain,due to oppression & human rights abuses. Rather ironic that this conversation is taking place while they are in China. ::) ;D

Bloody brilliant, I had to come in early into work to help support it. Luckily it all went smoothly, soooo many over taking throughout the field, right up until the last 2 laps.

Best race I've seen in years.

Shame Button had a slow pit stop, that would have been a great scrap for 1st.

Yes I enjoyed the race. A lot of talent in the field. I felt sorry for Kimi as his tyres went off. He has lost none of his flair.

Great stuff. Roll on the next race.

PS a first for me. First live GP I have watched and had to miss a bit to be sick. I have had the Norovirus for five days and no sign of it letting up. Hideous bug. Off back to bed for a while.

Cracking stuff. Well done Rosburg. A more level playing field, and battles all over the place. :)

I have been an admirer of Rosberg Junior since he arrived in F1, he isnt quite as gutsy or aggressive as his dad was but his constant outdriving of Scumacher has been nice to see. Mercedes have found an "unfair advantage" which was the only way Scumacher was ever going to get back at the sharp end of the grid,and the only reason he spent years there in the first phase of his career imo.
This year is the 30th anniversary of Rosberg senior winning the world championship. He only won one race that season strange though it may seem,but 1982 was a very strange year indeed.The fact that it seems like about 5 years ago to me is yet another reminder that I really am old. ::)
Speaking of 1982,this months Motor Sport magazine is a must have for those with a real appreciation of F1 and a sense of its real spirit and history.

A fantastic race - closest racing I've seen for a long time in F1. :y Looks like Vettel is getting a reality check this season and having to slug it out in the field rather than driving at the front in clean air. ::) Big shame about Jenson's botched pit stop, might have been a great scrap with Rosburg in the closing stages of the race.
I just hope next week's Bahrain GP is as exciting as it's been boring as hell in previous years - don't know why they bother with it anymore, particularly with the troubles they've had over there. :-\
