2017 Australian Grand Prix

So Vettel lifts the best trophy of the season
Looks like we could have an interesting contest this season after all. Ferrari's sandbags were just as full as Mercedes' it seems. It's a few years since we last saw 2 top guys in different cars really fighting for the championship.

The Verstappen holdup (not his fault) is what gave the race to Ferrari.

You say that Ham lost because of being hold up by Vst. What you really should ask and answer is why Ham
was hold up behind Vst. The answer to that is that Hamilton wasn't fast enough because he had tire wear problems.

I hope it was just a technical glitch... at one point the leaderboard was shown with all the colours mixed up (white for Ferrari, red for Red Bull etc.) so all was not running smoothly.

I saw that but they also hid the horizontal bar (with 5 drivers at a time) and also they were hiding some results in qualy. Maybe they are just baiting for responce. I hope sanity will prevail.

It was his fault because he was the one that decided to pit. He should have stayed out, the tires would have lasted. In all likelihood Vettel would have won anyway as he just seemed quicker. Agreed it's not his fault he couldn't pass though. I think with such closely matched cars and the new aero refs, passing at the front will be little this year.

Thoroughly enjoyed the race either way. It was a please to see cars pushing flat out again and they look exciting. Passing or not this is more what F1 should be.

Yeah, I said that. If Ham could have gotten by Max there would have been a fight for victory.
But I agree with your point.

I thought that bar that should the drivers positions was eliminated because I never saw it.

I think the rookies did a very good job too for their first race in their first full season. Ocon finished 10th and Giovinnazzi finished 12th!

Except for Stroll, who was quite dismal. No comparison to the last Canadian to make his debut with Williams in the Australian GP
