Motogp and formula 1? Best weekend ever.
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.

Does anyone else go on f1manager.info? Would be fun to set up a WSC group on there!

Just downloaded and watched it. It was a load of garbage. Too many guys not having the time to get out and get around after having a splash of fuel added and tires changed. I think with about 4 or 5 minutes left, the top 4 were out of their cars and heading to scrutineering because there was no point in continuing. They really need to reevaluate the format and have another go. Either tweak it, or change it back to 2015 style. It was very anticlimactic towards the ends of each session.

Can't say I'm super surprised with the outcome either, unfortunately.

Good. That was terribly anticlimactic. I had hopes of it being more interesting, but we just ended up with even less cars running.

Yeah, I caught the end of it, and thought it was terrible. Nothing happened.

I'll be glad to see 2015's format back.

On another note, i'm happy to see Verstappen up there. Really good for him, and it's a nice change of pace. Hoping Ricciardo can get up from his P8 though.

Excited to watch tonight.

Overall great race. Had many of the elements that make F1 so good to watch.

- I was very glad to see both Alonso and Gutierrez walk away from their incident.
- Verstappen is quite the character. He's starting to grow on me.
- I am happy with Ricciardo's finish, but would have liked to see him on the podium.

(I won't post any major spoilers until others chime in haha  ;D)

Happy to see some racing again. Should be a great season.

The entire race was great. Definitely a must watch from start to finish.

He's too much of a whiny itchbay. Moments of solid driving punctuated by over aggressiveness and hotheadedness with shades of a Hamilton-like daddy watching over him. I don't really care for him at all. Palmer was the far better young driver on the day.

Nice work by Haas to finish well. Good to see Fredo and Guts come away from that unhurt.

I'm convinced Ferrari has the better car just had poor tire strategy, we'll know for sure when we get to a power track.

I am not sure they have the better car but it is definitely more competitive. I have a feeling this season is going to be really exciting.

Have to agree with this. But I must say it was nice to see Hamilton not win.

Best comment I saw on Reddit was "When did Ferrari start hiring Williams strategists?"  ;D

And why does Kimi always have the worst luck? I was pretty stoked when he nailed the start and came out of T1 in 2nd. Nice to see him race with enthusiasm.

Kimi will win if not podium a race or two this year for sure. Not only is he in one of the better cars out there, he is Kimi haha. Just bad luck the other day.

Anyone else watch the race this past weekend? I actually thought it had a decent amount of action. Hamilton sure seems to catching the itshay end of the stick so far this season. It was also nice to see Kimi place well and to see Grosjean/Haas finish in a respectable 5th place.

I was super stoked for Kimi. Hopefully the string of luck continues for Iceman.

Yeah, watched it yesterday. Was a pretty good race. Quite a battle for the upper-midfield.. and lower-midfield I guess. Seeing Grosjean passing a Williams and a Red Bull when he was on his Super Softs was crazy. That Haas is pretty quick and they are proving themselves on strategy! Pit stops need some work, though. Hopefully they can continue developing the car this season so they can keep fighting and don't start slipping down the field.

I was nearly jumping out of my seat when I saw Kimi charging ahead. It's so nice to see him really get aggressive -- kind of a rare treat these days. Hopefully we don't have to wait til Spa to see it happen again!

So far McLaren's reserve driver has more points than its #1 and #2 drivers... but it looked like Button would have done reasonably well if his car hadn't died.

Glad it wasn't another Merc 1-2 finish, but honestly it looked like Rosberg was doing JUST enough to keep a decent margin to Kimi. I think that car had a lot more speed in it that he just wasn't going to risk. They'll be untouchable again this year.

Oh and rumour has it that Sauber could be finished. :( Monisha wasn't even at the race this weekend as she was out of the country trying to fund their next race. Sad state of affairs for a team with a lot of history in the sport. Need BMW to return and save them!
