What's the problem? Vettel no longer cruising so you're upset?
Yip... he took a lot of flack for cruising but I guess it is OK now... It was always said we need racing... starting from pole and pulling a gap and then managing the gap was not considered racing But it is a lot closer now, this was the most exiting race in the last 4 years.

Did Traction register under another name? :D But yea, same thing as the second half of last year. Same s***, different people... But don't worry. RB will be in the mix for first place quite soon I think.

Hmm? Are you implying that the winner didn't think this race? I saw a lot of very intelligent driving to keep the car running optimally.
The winner was not supposed to have much thinking abilities according to the fad trustees.

Great drive by Lewis, Hulkenberg also drove fantastic today. Lewis was faster, more fuel efficient and was softer on the tyres than Nico today. Well done sir. Melbourne would've been different had Lewis had 6 cylinders. Nice drive by Rosberg keeping Vettel at bay. Too bad for Ricciardo.

This might become the most exiting part of the race weekends - Any idea what the TV schedule is for the RB/FIA appeal =D>

People seem to assume that Red Bull will out develop everyone else, personally I think the teams develop at fairly similar rates it's just when they decide to focus more on the next year. I think Mercedes will develop hard the entire year to make sure they win the championships.

Great win for Merc, great to see both RB drivers up there as well! Shame for a wet qualifying with Williams being out of position again, but at least it made for some entertaining racing.

The new breed of Motor sport followers... I want to see who is the most economical.
My late dad got me watching F1 and he will be turning in his grave. sad, sad indeed.
We should also measure their Co2 and Nox emissions and penalise the offending drivers.

What a borefest. This new F1 is making it hard to watch, not only they have the tyres, but now the fuel saving.

It's not that RB will out develop everyone else. In my opinion at least, RB are already ahead of everyone else on their part. Once they get their PU to work with Neweys ( and I can't tell you how hard it is for me to write Neweys, since there are so many people who have as much to do with the car as Newey and are never credited ) bonkers shrink wrap design, they will be a force to reckon with.
