I think,I'll look at the results, but I doubt that tedious first race will make me watch many races in full.
Today, I was cleaning the kitchen at the same time. That was much more interesting.

Slow but reliable. Who'd a thunk it?
BMW, HRT and Virgin failed to finish....
And just five places outside the points!

Virgins suffered from lack of fluid apparently.

If it helps put things in perspective, this is a much better result than Team Lotus managed at their GP debut in 1958 at Monaco where both cars retired..... you can only go up from there.

This is just not racing anymore, & unless they do something about it they will turn a lot of people off F1 !

if it carries on like this, there may be more interest with the battle of the also ran's at the back of every race instead of the brass at the front.

Yeah, lets hope for a better race at the next one
Think F1 needs take a step back and go back to the simple front and rear wing, bring back the manual clutch and sequential gearbox

On the subject of Alonso, it was nice of him to return the trophy for that race.
As if...............

It`s a shame as he`s a great driver but does come across as a Cock, i suppose if you meet him in person he maybe a sound guy. but his ethics seem a bit screwed.
Looks like it will be a good year for him

I really don't want Ferrari to have a good year, partly because I have no time for Alonso. Now that Raikkonen has, at least temporarily, undertaken a new career in crashing rally cars, I'll be supporting Vettel this year.
