I'm loving the fact that there is 3 teams pretty much battling it out for the champion

and then there 5 teams who scrobble over the rest of the positions

I'm abit concerned for heidfeld though, i think Kubica is proven that he's the man to beat at bmw now.

If Massa drives properly hard to see him losing, first corner should be great tomorrow, nice to get back to races at a sensible time also

Anyone else see that bad Nascar (?) crash yesterday ? saw it on Sky News early this morning, couldn't hear any sound though, looked like a qualifying session, car span and flipped about fives times and the driver still managed to walk away, car number 00, couldn't find anything on any motorsport sites earlier though.

Good for Kubica and good for F1 to see a new face on P1!

Yup. Nice to see the Pole on pole.

Yup. Nice to see the Pole on pole.

Have you been saving that up just in case

You should work for ITV.

[NW2013]

I love ITV's bias. Of course it's Alonso's fault that Hamilton choked and didn't get his car off the line. Duh!

[Largo]

woo another ad. break..

BMW have been really impressive today, hopefully this will happen for the rest of the season.

Kovalinen has been absolutely nowhere which is pretty odd. Don't know what's going on there.

Argh watched up to where Button and Coulthard where scrapping at back and went to make a drink (as I was an hour behind) came back and dad said Id missed a good bit, went to rewind the hd box and it froze, switched it off and on and went to continue and I got the podium lol

The button\coulthard incident was very scrappy, surprised to see such an error by DC (was it his fault in the end?).

Not sure what happened to LH on the start, totally messed up his race.

The highlight was definately seeing BMW up with the big boys though - this is going to be a great season

[Paulos G]

Good result for the Championship. Hope it stays tight throughout the season. BMW definately looking good. Nice to see Toyota doing well too.

[NW2013]

I don't see how it can be considered DC's fault really. Button was too far back and seemed to lose it under breaking so couldn't stop in time.

[Bort]

Good race. Was expecting Kimi to come through in the pit stops but he had one of his off days.
Looked to me that Button was at fault. Couldn't be anything else but a crash with that pointless move.

Just 1.50ish £ down on my bets. Made a killing on Massa leading at the end of the first lap but flopped on the rest. There were damn good odd's on Button finishing in the points and heidfeld being best of the rest.

Why wasn't there a fight today between Hamilton and Alonso about the collision. I wanted to see some fists fly after the race.
