So, that's it.
Ferrari gave a good run for Merc' money on soft tyres, but were no match on the mediums.
In the end clear class differences throughout the field. First Mercedes together, then Ferrari, then Williams, then Lotus. Maldonado threw it away again, as standard already.
Good to see Sauber delivering the points this time. Red Bull is a firm midfield team right now at least. McLaren still at the back, bar Manor. The reliability of Renault power unit - not much to say.
Oh, and I agree with Martin Brundle. That Max Verstappen is going to be a star. Seriously, it has been some time I have seen a rookie, who leaves such an impression. Of course often rookies can have some good races here and there (like also Nasr in Australia), but there seems to be something more about Max.Last edited by jens; 12th April 2015 at 09:48.

Wait, what? There was a ChineseGP?
In free-to-air-tv land, Freddy Flintoff won... or maybe Amber on Neighbours.
Highlights will happen on One at 09:30pm on Monday - a full 28 hours after the race ended. Thanks, Fox Sports.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

So saying that Lewis is a dickhead is wrong? I don't think so. because he was. 'Tyre saving' and as soon as Rosberg pits he goes faster by over a second instantly. He didn't want to beat Rosberg, he wanted to humiliate him. And that makes him the biggest douchebag since Nelson Piquet had a go at Mansell's wife.
The sad bit is, he doesn't need to act like that. He's the faster driver, so he doesn't need to revert to douchebaggery like that. He could beat ROS fair and square any time.как могу я знать что я думаю, пока не слушал что я говорю

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
