    Agree as well, brilliant stuff.

    People have and still are critizing Pirelli, but I always wanted to wait until the season started to make my opinion and not just rattle off some pre-F1 bias towards them.

    I think the 3 races thus far have been great and while I know there is a chance of a few issues later in the season (i.e Canada), I am happy with Pirelli so far.

    I have watched F1 for 20 years this year and have no problems with whats happening this season.

    Roll on Turkey.

    Due to rain in quali.

    Big test will be the next year or so when/if we get uniform strategies, as when we got refuelling in the 1990s and race-fuel-quali in the mid-2000s.

    This is true, once everyone figures out the best strategy for each track, I think the current level of 'chaos' is going to subside. But...

    I completely agree with this thread. Brilliant race, the best dry race since Suzuka 2005, and that was the result of rain in Quali.

    Pirelli has been brilliant. My respect and appreciation for this company has grown tenfold since they stuck to their guns and produced tyres that were dangerous, marketing wise. I think they've shown that they are true racing company.

    Also, the DRS is growing on me. Hats off to FIA for trying this radically new idea.

    Also hats off to drivers. What race craft. To have so much overtaking and still finish with 23 drivers on the track... amazing!

    This will be the real test of these rules/tyres. There is reason for optimisim though. Webber was able to pass cars on the same tyres and pitstop strategy so it wasn't simply a case of those on a two-stopper getting rogered by those on a three-stopper.
    Forza Ferrari!!

    Now that brought back some fond memories of F1 gone by. Best race for the last 15 or so years, without a doubt

    They need to ditch the DRS system though, it is so gimmicky and pathetic I want to puke ick: Bring on Turkey
