For the first time since 2009, two british drivers are on the first line of the grid. Lotus's Romain Grosjean third. Looks like a good start to the season but I cant watch it live as the BBC wants to spend all its money on Eastenders and Strictly Come Dancing and I am not prepared to give all of mine to a Corrupt Australian Thieving Bastard.

.. and don't forget the huge resources dedicated to the 'pluck an unknown talent out of nowhere in the hope that we can unearth a few totally talentless ugly fat people with which to amuse the general public' type programmes.

Must be a way to get a live stream? - lots of'em for footy

Indeed, but there was one fewer yesterday however good old VIPbox is still there for the GP! .

Good race, great for Lotus but McClaren need to work on the pitstops & wheel nuts.

Drossberg should have been black flagged, the first time was bad enough but the third against Alonso was just plain wrong and dangerous. 1 win and the influence of a certain renowned cheat in his team has gone to his head.

Did I mention great for Lotus?

To quote from BBC sport:

Chris Peach on Twitter:‏ "Michael Schumacher needs to take a leaf out of Kimi Raikkonen's book. This is how you come out of retirement ... FACT!"

I think you're right there, Murph.
I expect they'll play Le Marseillaise after their first victory too.

I think they're now entered as a British team, as they should be given that they started out as Toleman.

This sums it up pretty well:

Was at Barcelona 5 years ago and it was so boring we spent most of the time in the bar. Today was fantastic, great racing all through the field. More like CART or Indy.

As for Scummi, Jamie on 5 live said that Scum would say it wasn't his fault! Sure enough

If you are behind and you hit the car in front, your fault, end of story! He did the same to Coulthard a few years ago. Obnoxious ****

Well done Williams, nice to see Damon standing just behind the crew when Pastor was on the podium.

i have always been a fan of F1 and i have been a Ferarri fan so i am rooting for Fernando Alonso ever since the grandprix started. Vettel has got to be my villain from Redbull, i just dont like him that much, nothing personal.though i really look forward to all the races becasue the race gets tougher as the drivers are really good and there are wins from different teams which is why there is always something to look forward to becasue you never know who will win next really.
