Just seen it all on the red button. Great close racing throughout. Very pleased for Jenson but gutted for Vettel and Massa.

Hamilton drove very well indeed I thought.

^^^^^^ Get you Mr Modern man with your 'red button'

Was an excellent race yesterday and delighted for Jenson really deserves some good fortune.

Lewis did very well to get to third. If he can accumlate a few more points up to Barca could be in the mix come end of the season.

Was harsh on vettel 10 place drop for next GP was a 50:50 accident. I do fear stewards are doing their best to stop overtaking. Although driving was 3 wheels deserves a big penalty.

Big thumbs up to BBC was great coverage and no adverts was great. Sat and Sun programes wheredifferent to. Plus having the old music back makes the hair on the back of you neck stand-up

How come we only got to hear the soft Scottish tones of Lee McKenzie but didn't get to see her?

^ A huge improvement in eye-candy from ITV's dog of a roving reporter!

....A very very speedy energy track - The band had quite a coke consumption problem in those days but it certainly worked on that track!

^ I saw them on this tour and also in the 1980's a few times and always with good seats - Awesome live band - Very strong! Heady stuff....I'm feeling transported!

^ Still going strong! Not the best sound quality recording but captures the atmosphere perfectly.

I thought that Scottish woman reporting from the pits was utter sh!te......! No emotion in her voice, very monotonous tone, poor questions which simply asked for the obvious answer. Whilst I didn't particularly like Louise from ITV, i liked how she seemed genuinely enthusiastic about what was going on!

....That's me when I was a little boy! It's the right time period.

That girl in front on the left (hand gesture) is either telling me to feck off or offering me a handjob! Or I suppose she could be calling me a w@nker

early days for Lee McKenzie. can see where whitegti is coming from, i too thought she was quite on it, enthusiastic, and seemed a bit scared of asking questions!!!

she needs to get stuck in.

one thing i don't like about F1 is that some drivers don't like talking to the media, especially when Brundle is doing his grid walk.

you'll never see that in NASCAR / Indycar. The drivers will be cool as cucumbers in their shades, and WAG on their arms. They will have a good ol chat on camera with whoever came up to them! THAT's how it should be IMO.

I loved the difference in the tyre compounds, made the choice more important. I just hope that they keep the difference as big as that for the season........can you inagine when its gets real hot in Malaysia

Great season opener and glad for Jensen, good to see so many teams at the front

Best races last season were in the rain. Love it!!! Nothing like a driver visably struggling with a car
