Bad luck for Hamilton as usual. Had he pulled in front I genuinely believe he would of won. Nevertheless a result for McLaren is far from something to be disappointed about!

Yep, unlucky for Lewis during the race with the pit stop & safety car! Still at least he came 3rd which is still an excellent start to 2012!

Looks like this year will be a battle between Red Bulls & the McLarens ... but obviously thats what is looks like from race 1.

Roll on next weekend & race number 2 !

Another McLaren 1-2! Congratulations to both the McLaren drivers and the team. Hopefully Lewis will have a great race tomorrow.

Q3:

I hope Lewis gets a good get away this weekend and wins the race, closely followed by Jenson!

Should be a great race again ... I hope!

Big well done for Sergio Perez, I wasn't actually expecting him to get 2nd. He could of won it as well, very well deserved! Bit of confusion near the end for Vettel:

One moment it was like: Stop the car, stop the car need to retire
Next minute: STAY OUT, STAY OUT
Minute after that that: STOP THE CAR, STOP THE CAR - EMERGENCY!

Yes totally agree, what a great race - especially for Sergio Perez!

Thought that was funny with Vettel & his radio, come in - stay out - STOP EMERGENCY! lmao

Also wasn't expecting to see Alonso leading the championship table!

Surprised to hear Group Lotus ending it's ties with the Lotus Renault Team after just one year. Hope it doesn't effect their speed.

Wow. I didn't see that one coming. I really don't see the appeal in the Lotus name though and I bet they'll be changing it again next season.

Anyway role on China its felt like so long since the Malaysian GP now.
