So now we have the first race in the books, Congrats to Kimi, Fernando and Seb and especially Ferrari!
Should be another interesting Season.
For US viewers so far NBC Sports has done a fine job. |

Looked like a good race... still not a fan of the requirement of using both tire compounds in a race. Can't believe drivers were pitting in only 5 laps! That's ~16 miles before pitting. Ridiculous.

I was a fan about a decade ago. I tried really hard to keep liking F1 but I could barely make to the 3-4 race in those last seasons.

Looking forward to Malaysia next week.

Should be good to see how the cars/teams shake up when they have race in hotter weather in Malaysia
Both Kimi and Alonso put up a good title fight last year with less success in Kimis case and a worse car in Alonso's case, should be a good fight this year.. can't really judge too much from a single race though. |

Maybe, when the FIM pulls their finger out and puts Bernie Ecclestone in a nursing home (where he belongs), and gets back to having rules that MAKE SENSE, I'll be a fan again. Till then, I'll watch anything but F1; even (shudder) NASCAR. |

Should Vettel have stolen the race from his team mate Webber?
Should Hamilton have broken team order to let Rossberg podium?
What was Alonso thinking?
Where was Massa's blinding start?
Who will win in China? |
