It doesn't matter who wins really, as long as the race is good and that, well that was dreadful, then again last years first race wasn't great either and that turned out great, amazing job Nasr. Counted 7 or 8 overtakes after restart

F1 is dying people ...
just remember, in the 90's and early 00's almost ever race was this bad and sometimes worse, but also remember last years first 2 races were dreadful, after that it got a lot better
I really hope so ... because what i have just seen was not really a race, just people hotlapping and trying to bring cars home and only 11 cars managed to finish the race.
And Arnold .... F****** Arnold ! ok I ragequit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arnie is actually pretty good at doing the interviews haha, pulling no punches though with Nico when he said, what is it like to be second, Vettel still getting slightly booed
Arnie best part of the race, that was the best podium interview for a while, still don't like the concept but Arnie made it work (LOT better than Piquet did)
He never really got into any situations that got him on camera. Solid drive for good points for the team though
Ericsson is ****, always has been. He's clearly only there for money he brings. Problem is, he's not the only one like that on the grid.

Though I dont think the Red Bull was faster. That Ferrari engine seemed to put the playing field back towards NasrNasr was epic, nice 5th place ahead of home boy Ricciardo in a much faster Red Bull! This guy could be a future world champion, he has the money behind him and he seems to have the talent aswell.
But that's just one race, it may change
RBR is not faster the Sauber is taking advantage from the Rarri engine.
Rumours are going that Renault and Red Bull are in talks to take over the Toro Rosso team. RBR is also not happy with F1 in general, and well watching todays race,.... they have a point. Something has to change obviously.
Shame about Max ofcourse, been keeping an eye on him trough live timing and being on a one stop med/soft stratergy i would have loved to see what he would have been capable of in the final 20 laps with fresh Softs. Till lap 32 he was doing a tremendous job to keep up with the soft runners while he was on meds. P7 P6 was in reach for him.
Great job by Nasr ofcourse, nice mess up with Kimi's pitstop.
Now im not sure what is more worse, Honda with one engine gone (and a full year to develop their engine) or Renault with 2 death engines on the counter now who have been in compettion for a full year with it.

Well RBR aren't happy because they're not winning. It has always been like this in
F1. Yes drivers would probably have a greater say in the result of the race but
when a team was able to adapt to the new rules, they would rule the sport for
a small period. I'm sure you all remember Lotus in the 60s and 70's, Mclaren in late
80s and early 90's, Williams, and Ferrari in early 2000's. It's rather easy to
complain but with the tokens distributed and with the regulation chages coming
in the next couple of years things will get more level. Oh, and by 2020, when
new engines will be intoduced, there will not be so many DNFs.
extrem boring grand prix... 15 cars to start, 11 to finish... pfff...when the saison goes like this formula 1 will lose another 25mio watchers on tv and is down at the end of the year...
In 2002 there was like 6 finishers in a totally dry race. Sometimes it just goes like that.
I don't think the amount of drivers finishing should be what people are worrying about, its the amount starting that is FAR more worrying
