Missing out on 1 races worth of points isn't catastrophic to your WDC hopes...especially this season, where no one is running away with wins.

Couple be worse, they could be in San Paolo, Brazil

Seems like the rumors of Vettel's demise are greatly exaggerated.

Anyway, it looks like it will be an interesting race. I cannot wait to see how the tire strategies play out. Button should have an advantage here. Bet Schumacher starts on the hard tires. If he stays out of trouble he might get into the mix very quickly.

What got into Ricciardo and the Toro Rosso? I wonder how Jean-Eric Vergne is feeling right now

Damn, Vettle look pretty good This kind of mix is what is making this season one of the most exciting and competative in many, many seasons.

Seems to be the thing to do (tires), Alonso didn't go out in Q3 and Lotus took the risk with Kimi knowing they'd be able to make it to Q3 with fresh tires but decided not to do it.

We'll see how it plays out, I would've done differently if I was at Lotus but maybe they benefit in a race more than I think they will.

Besides Vettel's great lap, anyone noticed Kovalainen's lap in Q1? He took every little bit and more out of that POS Caterham!

Mercedes looked like this years Red Bull after China, I'm happy to see the F1 lottery still in effect, where she stops nobody knows. Wonder what happened, and McLaren and RB don't have their DRS duct yet.

This year could be the Vettel/Hamilton battle we've been promised.

Any update guys, we are getting a delayed broadcast here and have no idea what's happening.

Some of the stands look pretty much empty.

Glad to see Vettel back out front and the Iceman back on podium. Shaping up to be the most competitive F1 season I can recall.

Was hoping Kimi could've pushed past Seb but I think in the end they went conservative thinking what happened in China.
Great drive from 11th to 2nd though and special moment was when he went past DV...
Great day for Vettel and RB but awesome day for Lotus and both of their guys!

Kimi!!!!!

What a drive so great to have him back. The Lotus looking strong as both guys on the podium. Great job by Vettel as well.

Great race!

Kimi shows he has knocked off the rust. Nit is going to be a fun season based upon the first 4 races.

One thing, on Speed they played the tantrum Alonso threw when Nico blocked him.
How embarrassing for Modena having their lead driver whine like a PMSing teenage girl.

On the other hand, Masa showed a spark of the old Masa at the start.

Congrats to Vettel for finding a way to win and get back into the Championship hunt, congrats to Red Bull (remember Webber is still very much in the hunt thanks to his consistency). Congrats to both Lotus Renault drivers (they have a really good shot at winning a race this season). Not sure what to say about Rosberg. For the Hamilton incident I felt that it was Lewis who chose to drive off the track to gain the position. However later in the race when a similar incident occurred on the same section of the track was repeated with Alonso ... well I will wait to see what the F1 authorities say about the incidents.
