Great race by MclMB given that the car was very much flawed..
but it was still expecting alonso to get 4th...

I think it was also the strategy who was poor.

anyways.. Hamilton rocks, Massa.. meehhh ... Raikononen.. as always iceman..
poor start for him by the way..

PS
Alonso,Hamilton and Raikonnen at 22p... that is sick

Thank god that M.Schumacher is out of this game..
For the first time in years its fun again

Yep agreed.


Renault was disater, even RBR with the Renault engines did better until the problems.

What else to add... great race. I am happy that BMW is closing gap to leaders, it's going to be more fun.

Yep I hope they're gonna win too. Would be nice to see the saubimmers pawning some tifoseria and mcmerc cars.


Shame about Renault tough.

Yes, I hope to see my favourite driver on the podium. He nicely came on 6-th spot today.

Driver of the race was Heidfeld, in my opinion. The gap between he and Kubica was 30 seconds.

Though I am utterly sick of the coverage surrounding Hamilton - his name even comes up in pitlane interviews with other drivers - the kid has some skill. He showed Alonso the way on a track where Alonso has won twice. The Double-WDC seemd out of sorts all weekend.

I reckon that Alonso is still faster, but the gap is smaller than one would expect. Has he been exposed as someone who won his WDC with a slow poke teammate and a blindingly fast car in the past?

Nicely ? Did you see the gap between him and nick ?

DC IMO, form 21 to 7th until the failure.

Just a bad day IMO, but he's always, like MS, had slower team mates until now. As for the car, don't forget he's also the reason it was fast (testing and developing skills and knowledge).

This appears until now (knock on wood) to be an interesting season.

 

[Bartek S.]

I'm sure he wanted to break his psychological barrier to score some points today. That's why I call it nicely. Heidfeld was driver of the race (I agree with 450SEL6.9). Kubica did perform well.

A great race, and congrats to Massa for winning!

I was very impressive with Lewis yet again, and now making F1 history as being the first driver ever to be on the podium in his first three drivers. Also he is joint first in the championship, and being a rookie that's amazing.

Kimi could have done better, but at least he's joint first. This is going to be a very exciting season if this battle continues, and it looks like Massa will be joining it very soon.

Heidfeld had another great race, become 4th for the 3rd race in a row. I cheered when it overtook Alonso, that was a great move. It's weird, during winter testing people were saying BMW may come 3rd in the championship, and I was thinking that won't happen, but now it looks like they could get that place, if they continue to develop the car at this race, and they weren't too far behind the Mclarens and Ferraris in raw race either.

Kubica did ok, but considering how well he did last season, it doesn't look like he's doing so well at the moment, especially considering he was a full half a minute behind Heidfeld in the same car. I think he still hasn't got to grips with the Bridgestone tires yet, but hopefully he's get there soon enough.

Shame what happened to RBR, they were doing very well, especially DC, but the reliability wasn't there. At least the speed is there.

Renault and Honda were very disappointing, they got to improve their cars a lot to keep up with the top teams, but are definitely not championship contenders!

A very good race!

Lewis keeps on impressing, what a driver! Can't find the words to describe this man. There is absolutely nothing not to like about this guy!

Massa did a good job keeping the lead, did no misstakes and secured it. Kimi could've done a better start and the same goes for after the safety car. He lost alot of ground to Massa and Lewis behind Alonso making it impossible for him to catch up later on. I was also surprised how good the McLarens were on hard tires. I was expecting Ferrari to be the best team on hard tires.
Heidfelt impressed me alot today as well passing Alonso on the outisde. But Alonso also had serious trouble with his car so one can't expect him to do more than what he did.

1. Alonso 22p
2. Räikkönen 22p
3. Hamilton 22p

The next race will definitely be interesting!

BINGO!!!

What i wanted to see, i saw it! BMW in the top 5, i don't need anything else! Heidfeld drove the race of his life today, imo. The car was really good and i think he pulled out maximum of it. And a superb overtake on WC Alonso who, imo, despite everything, still has a better car. Therefore: Heidfeld 1, Alonso 0! Nevertheless, awesome! Now, let's improve even more and be faster!

Hamilton and Massa: RESPECT! Especially for Hamilton! A record? YES! 1st 3 races in his entire life and he got 3 podiums! Unbelievable!

Alonso & Kimi? ...

Awesome race and the next one.... Can't wait!!!

 

[Imhotep Evil]

So I take it you don't like Hamilton and Massa ?!
Sorry to disapoint you but Hamy's no Montoya ... in a good way.

Read my post again and see for whom i wrote RESPECT!

So far Hamilton looks 10 times better than Montoya...

Copy paste typo, I meant Kimi and Alonso.

Don't care for those two at all. No dissing, no bashing, nothing, just don't care for them. Especially now when Hamilton is here.

 

[PanterroR]

Gimme the new contract or i'll strangle you!

LOL, I hope he gets it, he has shown he's a good driver! Although if Hamiton wants to change teams I wouldn't say no!

It would a disaster if they sign Super Vettel instead of him.
