Well, Mercedes seem on the pace early on 

I think Perez should be made to get rid of his helmet.  Its too similar to Hamiltons when he was at McLaren.

Id love to see Lotus and Mercedes up there for the titles this year.

[Deako]

Anyone else staying up to watch Q2&3? 

[Oli]

Yes sir, been a long day after getting up at five this mornng for quali!!  Then we'll all be up at 5 again tomorrow!

C'mon Lewis

[Deako]

Silly decision putting the 2nd set of super softs on Perez. Button doing well.

Lewis through safely!! Come on!!!

As much as I love F1, I'll be getting up at 8'ish to watch the recorded version. Hehe.

[Poverty]

Mclaren blunder again just how stupid can they get. Pretty much stitched up Perez for no good reason.

Good to see Lewis third, proves he's quick in any car and good to see him ontop of mclaren.

Super race for Kimi!

Really pleased with the pace of the Ferraris too.

[MAT ED30]

Good race a well deserved win 

[MC71]

Great season opener. Plenty more of that please. 

Really chuffed for Kimi and Lotus and great to see Ferrari up and running right at the start of the season and not half way through. Lewis is doing better than expected in the Merc, justifying his decision to leave the Macca stable, needs a wee bit more speed down those straights though.

[E30Dom]

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" He knows what he's doing...

Good race, Good results for Lotus, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes doing well, McLaren lost without Hamilton and still making stupid decisions...

[Janner_Sy]

How weird is that that after the last 3 Papal Conclaves have happened, a Lotus has won the next race!!!

Chuffed for Kimi 

[RobH]

Cant wait for the ferraris to ambush Vettel off the line tomorrow.

Will Jenson ever find the right balance, seriously 15 years in F1 and he still cant setup his car, bored of his moaning already. Sure hes good when he accidentally stumbles on a good setup but other than that totaly average f1 driver.

[Deako]

Shame Hamilton pushed too early. If they had brought him in for a fresh set of Inters, I think he would have tipped the time sheets.

[RedRobin]

.
Lewis Hamilton must be very pleased with how his first season with Mercedes is shaping up - He definitely has more potential than he probably thought he would have.

So pleased to see Felipe Massa up there too 

But Kimi Raikkonen....  .... Good driver but he is such a poor ambassador for the sport. His off track behaviour was atrocious with Lee McKenzie IMO.

Suzi Perry is doing much much better than I expected - She's really good and on the ball. Will Eddie be joining them later?

[andrewparker]

I'd probably react the same if I had to do an interview with Lee McKenzie.

Seriously though, it's been blatantly obvious throughout his career that he doesn't enjoy the press element. He's clearly very uncomfortable being on camera. I don't take it as rudeness, and I most certainly don't agree that it makes him a bad ambassador for the sport. That's a ridiculous suggestion in my opinion.

[RobH]

I love kimi hes only there for the driving and couldnt give a f**k about the press. His one word answers are quality and his response to daft questions even better. Tells his team how it is aswell

The teaser with him in a rally car with natalie pinkham looks quality.

"Kimi help me"

"Just drive theres nothing you can do"

Crash, then just laughs at her
