So we have had a boring 3 week gap after all the waiting and build up. At last though the 3rd Round of the 2013 season is just around the corner. The Chinese GP.
I felt the first two races were an interesting guide to the season.

Red Bull fastest, Mercedes competative, Lotus up and down, Ferrari fast but not quite there and Mclaren struggling.
