I did ruff as guts now, so happy I did stay awake as im a massive lotus fan
Congratulations Kimi Raikkonen you legend
What's your thoughts on it?

[wadoryu]

And you've ruined the results for me :/ could have put spolier in the title.

Great race watching from the grandstands... Gonna watch the full replay tomorrow when I get back to our flat in Sydney

Refuse to give murderock another £10 a month so watch highlights ATM.

[stevie_m]

Was it a good race as I seen he won by a fair bit of time, wtf has happened with the McLaren's ? Looked at my sky sports app and it says Button finished just under a minute and a half after Kimi.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Great race, just finished watching the highlights:D
Glad Kimi got the Podium.
I always avoid the Internet whenever BBC only has highlights, you'll always get some idiot ruining it :wall:

[McGuire86]

F1 is shit.

[L33h]

I watched it this afternoon. Glad i didnt read this thread 1st

I think it's turned a bit like Top Gear - it's alright but not what it used to be. There's too much politics and bullshit and not enough in the way of racing to redeem itself.

The race itself was a bit boring up until Rosberg retired tbh - nothing against him, I just think it all kicked off afterwards lol. Glad to see Kimi win though... Albert Park always seems to have the ability to churn out some strange results but hey ho lol.

Haha old man Griff refuses to pay for Sky full stop so it's highlights all the way for a good month or so haha. Not too bothered apart from the fact the Beeb aren't showing Monaco live this year :(

More fool you for going into an F1 thread after the race has finished.

It was a good race, plenty of fighting for places. Nice to see Kimi on the podium but such a shame to see Alonso still alive.

I was happy to see Massa being competitive again!

Missed this comment earlier but...

trolololol.

Little tip - avoid t'internet, Facebook and the radio like the plague during the fly away races - nothing worse than finding the results out before you've actually sat and watched the race :S

[wadoryu]

Just being incredible stupid, wasn't quite sure it had ended yet LOL.

Radical design this year to open up more potential to improve the car through the year, however they are struggling to "understand" the car & most of testing was a waste of time because it was too cold. Also they are using the different front suspension this year (same as Ferrari pioneered last year)

Thanks for the info mate as its all bloody NASCAR over here and it was a big week as it was at Bristol speedway so no F1 coverage from what I seen this week.

NASCAR is much better
You wacth the Sprint cup race?

[jpsaxo]

Oval racing is boring, it's nearly as bad as gaylining

Sometimes depending on shift pattern, I will watch any form of racing tbh what I will say I do like the presenters and most if not all are former drivers such as the Walltrip brothers they are actually quite funny.

[EwynSaxo]

Presenters on sky are so boring depressed me listening to them
I wasnt shocked where button ended up the McLaren was shocking in qualifying I know they both used the wrong tyres but just shocking can't wait till next weekend
Might book it off though nackered in work now

[devilsadvocate]

I always watch it but its got far too regimented in the last few years.

Im glad Kimi won this one, it becomes boring when Vettel is winning everything.

[K567]

awesome result for Kimi
watched Q2/3 live, then slept till 430 then watched the race live

overall.... found race to be pretty boring, just dont think F1 is in the right place now, technology wise and rules wise.....
technology makes the cars too easy to drive... yeah yeah i know mere mortals wouldnt find them so
rules wise, DRS only in certain places and within a certain gap

Come on lets get back to the days of Lauda, Hill, Senna, Mansel, Prost when drivers were drivers and not knob turning, button pressing, knee blocking electronic drivers.... Next F1 will be raced on playstations in virtual reality lol

Bring back Power with Skill and balls out battles on the circuits

So you think it takes no skill to set up your differential settings whilst flat out anyways . . . .
