I have to say, l am really happy for Bottas and Williams getting back onto the podium again and beating the Ferrari's for a change. I am not sure what happen there to Kimi that caused him to spin. It didn't look like driver error, l think he was saying the KERS kicked in too early or something. It was very unluck for Kimi to miss out on his 1st podium of the season.

Williams seem to be not quite on par with the Ferrari. There is work to be done to take full advantage of the Mercedes engine in the car. Also, they seem also be a shade behind the Ferrari on dynamic race strategy during race time which Ferrari is clearly better at. Thats why Vettel finish 5th and Masss 6th after leading Vettel for quite some time.

But a great weekend for williams. Congratulation chaps.

Well, he can't really blame anyone but himself, can he? His team mate started 18th, had a botched pitstop and still finished only eight seconds behind him, driving faster laps on soft tyres than Kimi did on his fresher supersofts. He was kicked into the middle of last week this weekend.

I love this track and need to visit it one day.

You know, I don't remember him spinning there last year.
I was waiting for someone to hit the Wall but they never did. Oh well, I'll always have Jarno Trulli's Toyota brakes Exploding at the end of the long straight!

What were we talking about?

[N. Jones]

I know one thing - DRS needs to go.
A second thing - the large rear wings need to return. The idea that the cars need to be slowed down needs to go as well.

If these cars weren't so dependent on aero we would more fighting on track.

Agree it was a great day for Bottas and Williams.

I think Massa drove well this weekend, the race strategy let him down abit l think. The MotR is definitely Vettel. A great recovery to 5th, a true drive of a champion. I hope Kimi has a change of fortune soon because he is looking 2nd rate compared to Vettel so far. We all know what a fast driver he is when in the zone. I really hope the ICEMAN returns soon.

Vettel did well, but he seemed to struggle behind Hulkenberg, and I felt a bit disappointed how he tried to execute the pass on Hulkenberg, nearly causing a collision. Maybe I am wrong on this one, since no one seems to be bringing this up.

This was slightly disappointing race for Ferrari because they seemingly collectively gave away the 3-4 finish. On the bright side, they probably have collected enough data on their latest engine mods in order to come back stronger in Austria.
