    Poor Seb, gutted for the guy - he wears his heart on his sleeve and at the end he looked so angry and emotional, he looked like he just needed a big hug!
    Race was pretty boring I agree although Alonso in that Ferrari was brill - he has the full package and i think he'll be the one to beat this year - bring on round 2!!

    It was a very dull race. Pit stops are procedural now with no chance for anything to really go wrong, so it's as you were when they all come out.

    In saying that Bahrain as a circuit has to be one of the dullest going. If the crown prince was throwing substantial amount of dollars Bernies way they'd never be there. Melbourne should show up what it's really like, but I'm fully expecting it to be a bit dull this year.

    And the worst crime - where are the graphics in qualy!!!!!

    Mark Webbers twitter seems to sum his feelings up on yesterday:

    Wow! New rules, not sure huh? Why do they keep dicking with it? Followed Mercedes power for the whole race, no chance to overtake - again

    I agree it was a reasonably boring race to be honest (I did nod off a couple of times...) and I too felt really sorry for Vettel to lose the win due to exhaust problems!! Massa did awesome for his 1st full race since his incident last year. And I was REALLY REALLY impressed with Lotus for both cars completing their 1st race without breaking down like the rest of the new teams did...

    I did notice tho that the new american team wasn't there or have I missed something?

    Come on Melbourne...

    They asked to miss 5 races and turn up in Barcelona, were told to turn up in Bahrain or nothing. Future to be decided, but I doubt we'll see them again - Todt is raging after them as we speak.
