Mercedes' strategy was quite bad and McLaren's luck was dashed. One step forward, two steps backwards.

Quite happy for vettel and in general that Ferrari managed to win a race.
Mercedes got cocky, paid the price for it

Their car is very soft on the tires so on the malaysian heat they had an even bigger advantage, lewis had engine troubles on P2 so he didnt have time to set up the car correctly and was complaining about bad balance and finally Mercedes chose the wrong strategy. Overall I dont think we will be seeing Ferrari challenging Mercedes on the next few races. Still a great win for Vettel and Ferrari and they defenitaly caught up even more. This is promising to be a very exciting season

I think Mercedes wouldn't have won regardless. They needed the 3 stops safety car or not. Vettel would have been happy to stay behind hamilton in the first stint and then use the Ferrari's ability to make the mediums last to good effect after hamiltons stop.

As silly as it sounds, if it works for him it's genius. I always have a couplenof mini tampons in my car in case of nosebleeds. Works like a charm

At least it wasn't boring. Max Verstappen showed some nice moves. Surprised me he managed to keep ahead of the RB's

Surprised me he managed to keep ahead of the RB's Both Verstappen & Sainz look impressive on track, showing good pace and opportunistic wheel-to-wheel situations. But from what I've seen I think Toro Rosso has put together a better car than Red Bull. Great performance by Verstappen nonetheless.

But from what I've seen I think Toro Rosso has put together a better car than Red Bull. Great performance by Verstappen nonetheless. That's exactly what surprised me. Since STR is the little brother of RB I suspected the RB's to be faster. For a rookie to keep ahead of a seasoned driver like Ricciardo in a car that most people expected to be slower Verstappen really surprised me even though I allready knew he is a good driver. And with Vettel putting a Ferrari ahead of both Mercedes', it's promising to be an interesting season

Toro Rosso has had the superiour car before. In 2008 they claimed the first ever grand prix victory within the Red Bull family and were generally faster on track than Red Bull Racing.

Difficult round to predict. The Toro Rosso's seem to be a bit slow. So I'll probably leave them out of my top 10.

Could Nico Rosberg be the most desperate whining crybaby in the history of F1? It's very possible. Not sure how someone with a dad that cool can act like such a spoiled brat.

Either Hamilton wasn't intentionally slowing him down, or he was, in any case the best thing to do would be to keep your mouth shut because all it will do is let Hamilton and the rest of the world know he's getting under his skin!

As Hamilton himself said he didn't even get within a couple of seconds behind. If Hamilton really was going too slowly, get within DRS range and overtake him. Rosberg's clutching at straws, trying desperately to find any excuse other than the fact that he's not quick enough.
