Melbourne has rarely been exciting.
Always lots of retirements, not much passing.

Bad strategy calls by Merc gifted the race today.
Think RIC had more passes than anyone today - he passed 19 thru 13, though still a lap down when the car stopped.

Hope he hasn't lost an engine - only four total this year before penalties

At least they got the grid penalty this race for the gearbox instead of a race when RIC is further up the grid.

It was a great win for Vettel and Ferrari. Not a fan of Hamilton so I am quite pleased

I agree, but it was the lessor of two evils for me.

The adjective "incorrigible" come to mind. And I'm not referring to the drivers.

But the cricket sent me to sleep as well.

An interesting start to the race.

Watching Goliath. We mortals have to wait until 9:30 tomorrow night on One to watch it!

Hopefully RIC will get back into a podium position.

I spoke too soon.

What a finish! So close for RIC, nearly forgot about HAM.

While VER had a good first half of the race, good to see that RIC was faster than teammate in the latter half

Hopefully this year I will be able to go back to shouting at the TV in the closing laps. :mrgreen:

Do you have a website and cost for streaming? I don't want to pay foxtel either.

It costs $99 p.a. which is two months of Foxtel sports. And of course I can watch it anywhere.

I was happy with it last year. So far so good this year. Online help earlier this week was also useful.

Just announced Alonso will miss the Monaco GP to race in the Indy 500. Perhaps permission has been given in recognition of his perseverance and patience with the poor Honda engine ? Who will replace him, Button?

For those looking at Malaysia this year - big changes to the ticketing arrangements.

No early bird this year - instead MyKad (IE Malaysian citizen discounts), although most prices have decreased

But more imporyantly, apart from Team Tribune stands (main grandstand opposite select pits) the entire Main Grandstand and K1 Grandstand is Free Seating.

Going to be a PITA having to get to the track early on Sun with literally no support races.

Sad to see only one McLaren start.

Edit: Am I going to be talking to myself this morning?

Lost a few cars in quick succession.

The stewards are going to be busy for a while.
