At least the cars no longer sound like tractors this year. Instead, they sound like two-stroke outboards.

Ah well, we still have Moto GP.

Nico is going to be relegated to the number two driver full time this year I suspect for Mercedes.

I thought it was a good race...lots of fighting throughout the field...
I'm still waiting for Williams to challenge Ferrari and Merc but they're a good 20 seconds off pace.

A little overly-ambitious of McLaren to fit mirrors to their car but hey at least they finished!

Kimi was pure gold on the radio, as always.

Vettle or Kimi will over the course of the season.

Have Renault designed an engine or just a time bomb?

White64Goat · 04-19-2015, 12:49 PM

Ohhhhhhh.......I can almost hear the tears falling already and the race just finished. Rosberg had (cough, cough) braking problems and got passed for 2nd in the closing laps by Raikkonen. Hamilton's car threw up a BBW fail code on lap 56 of 57 and the TV guys figure it meant Brake By Wire, so maybe both cars had braking issues? Still Hamilton was the man to beat........Nico can't even get his steering wheel back on in the pits after the race and had to climb back into the car to do it. He's frustrated, which won't help him any either........Ferrari looks to be the only challenger so far this season for Mercedes.

Ricciardo blew an engine right at the finish line. Killed all the mosquitos for miles around........huge cloud........

Well, over to the Nascar Bristol race and then the Toyota GP of Long Beach. Raining in Bristol..............uhhhhhh

Tgionet · 04-19-2015, 01:18 PM

Both Mercs had BBW issues at the end. Hamilton lost ~5s to Kimi on the last lap.

jdmblood · 04-19-2015, 06:04 PM

Ferrari fought hard

Martinius · 04-20-2015, 08:50 AM

Rosberg is already done mentally for the season, and they haven't even started the European races yet.

Teseo · 04-20-2015, 09:27 AM

I fell asleep in lap 15 or so

Lunatic · 04-20-2015, 09:35 AM

We enjoyed watching Bottas holding off Vettel, and Kimi passing Rosburg.

Alonso nearly put the McHonda in the points! I'm starting to feel at least slighty encouraged by it.
