2016 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne, March 18-20

yeah, people call Lewis a cry baby, yet he never carried on like that.

I know right, he just schools Vettel while on super old mediums

It may be a Mercedes 1-2 but they were both fortunate with how things turned out, 3 tyre choices will make for great racing this season, the only change that has actually spiced up the racing.

Well as Ferrari supporter I'm disappointed, tyre choice was bad and I was expecting a 2nd place after the start. Reliability problem, pit stop problem...

Mercedes when are behind other cars still have some overtaking problems. Can't wait for next race

[giantfan10]

i think Ferrari assumed that that Mercedes would have to stop again.... they could have went to mediums and just held station but i guess they didnt want to do that for some reason....
we now know williams is garbage and force india is garbage along with verstapen being a whiny lil bleep

[Shrieker]

This was a very good race, but the dominant force in Formula 1 racing is still dirty air and I'm gobsmacked they won't do anything about it.

Just reduce overall aero, increase mechanical grip, reduce wing aero and increase the ratio of ground aero in overall aero, and you're pretty much done... 2017 is a big opportunity, but the retards probably won't do it again.

I'm kind of disappointed as well. I'm kind of worried for reliability. Gutierrez had some engine problems at the start and and both Kimi and Ericsson dnf'ed.

And Ferrari doesn't vettel couldn't get around Hamilton, all cars have problems passing just listen to verstappen unless you have a 2+ sec lap advantage good luck

- Ferrari... A Masterpiece of "how to give away a win".
- Mercs pretty disappointing race pace compared to their quali performance.
- RBR, easily 3rd best on grid. Seems the Renault engine is much better in race then in quali trim.
- TR boys need to get their --- together. Car seems to lack lots of pace in race trim compared to quali and also eats tires.
- Williams... a bit disappointing tbh. Not even close to give RBR a fight.
- Great job from Haas! Bit of luck, but car seems able to fight in midfield. My team of the day!
- McHonda, for me was the disappointment of the day, but good to see Alonso fine after that horrible crash.
- FI/Sauber/Manor/Renault as expected.

Yeah remaining laps were not enough and even Seb was aware of that. Lewis switched back and entered in defensive mode, with that beast as a car. Ferrari has seen now what are the Mercedes strength.

I agree with you, I was pointing at the only problem that Mercedes showed.

[max_speed]

WOW, Lucky for ALO he is all good,....but WTF GUT??? How can he brake that early?

he is so stupid he moved slightly to the left and braked...some people are in F1 with pure luck or money

[Fulcrum]

Geez, Ted Kravitz... Everyone has a bit of luck sometimes. What a kn*b.

Kimi is just an unlucky guy if you ask me.... Vettel said it in the press conference.. Ferrari assumed Mercedes were going to have to stop again. Even if they had went to the soft they would still have had to stop again.... Mercedes got a gift today

Vettel should have pulled a bigger gap on rosberg before he boxed and even though he was on a much faster tire didn't really gain that much time

i think ferrari and mclaren both opted to go bit aggressive after red flag by opting to run on SS but clearly that did not work.
vettel lost the plot there and button was relegated to bottom. its just strategic mistake. i feel real picture will emerge after 3 races but ferrari's have always been good starter. life is not gonna be easy for mercs.
