Man, it was strange to hear that Indycar noise coming from those cars yesterday. And still photos just did not do justice to the complete butt-ugliness of the new Ferrari.

Did you watch it?
I stayed up to watch Q1 to Q3 qualifying. Pretty exciting and I like the fact the cars are nice & tricky to drive again (for the time being).

Hopefully will be a good race on Sunday.

Yeah, but I missed qualifying. Can't wait to see how the new tech works out.

How can RBR be so far behind the curve? Vettel breaks and Ricciardo is DQ'd.
Congrats to Rosberg. MB seemed to be on top of this all winter and yes I know Hamilton retired. I still think the team and their power plants look pretty good.

Oh, and the cars are slow and ugly and they sound like four stroke MX bikes.

Congrats to 19 year old phenom Daniil Kvyat becoming the youngest driver ever to finish in the points. Kid is most definitely going to be a champion one day.

Oh hi, Kevin Magnussen.

Wow...I can't believe how many people didn't finish and the Ricciardo drama that developed post-race.

It's amazing how unstable Hamilton and Vettel's cars were - but their teammates were 1st and 2nd. This should be an interesting season due to how many changes occurred to the car designs and engines in the offseason.

Magnussen had a fantastic F1 debut!

I'm just amazed by the arrogance of Redbull. They were told on Friday and again during the race to watch out. If they stuck within the rules, they wouldn't have been competitive is their response.

I didn't hear anyone else complaining about the fuel flow sensors, but I'm sure we'll hear all about it in the coming weeks.

But congrats to Kevin Magnussen...kid can race! I didn't realize his dad drove for Team Corvette.

expected on RBR. Their engine has been terrible. i'm in the camp that they purposely pushed the limit with ricardo to see what they would get away with. they didn't map seb's car the same way because they didn't want to chance their start getting DQ'd.


very unexpected for Hammy. he has had one of the most reliable cars all through practice and testing.

Kvyat in the points again in Malaysia.

The sound is going to take some getting used to. Fools you into thinking they're going slower than they actually are.

and hammy absolutely dominates just like winter testing showed. however, RBR is coming on fast. if Merc can squeeze a bit more out of the corners. they will destroy. the Merc engine is just much better than the Renault.

on and Riccairdo is suffering the 2nd seat jinx at RBR pretty heavily. ouch.
