    Pretty good race all around, a lot of retirements tho.

    Typical race for Seabass, get out in front on strategy and hold the pace till the end. The Hamster really gave it all at the end, but I think Vettel was just controlling the gap to the end.

    Well done Ferrari - well done!

    Good race to be sure. Lewis shot himself in the foot with the 5 second penalty. It may have ended the same, but it sure would have been more exciting. We are going to have a great race for the championship.

    I think Alonso was driving the hardest of anyone out there. He was doing a lot with what he had. Sad to see him drop so close to the end.

    Alonso was driving the wheels off that box of crap in the corners to only lose all his gain on the straights....very sad.

    Sad yes, but in a way it had to be a lot of fun. Pass get repassed, repeat. Much better than circulating around by ones self. Alonso deserves better that for sure. A lot of talent being wasted over the past several years.

    He needs to go anywhere at the end of the year, time is slipping.

    I figure he'll pull a Mansell and go to Indycars next season, and be Champion there the next year.

    With all the passing I think the new cars have improved overtaking. It may be as good as it could be but it is better than it was.

    Heh...

    McLaren can't explain why they didn't break yet again in testing Day 2.

    McLaren says it is at a loss to explain why its Formula 1 fortunes turned around dramatically in Bahrain on Wednesday to help deliver its "best day" of the year.

    They're so similar it bothers me they aren't filmed from identical camera locations so it would be easier to spot the differences. Pay attention the center graphic at the bottom.
