Don't forget the Caterham!

Edit: and yes, the new nose on the Ferrari reminds me of a plastic model of a female body part.

So basically all the cars except Mclaren has a 'step-down' nose.

I hope Merc makes an impression this season. It's my favorite brand after all.

Iceman cometh to top gear!!!,.. http://www.f1zone.net/news/raikkonen-to-make-top-gear-appearance-on-march-11/12648/

I can't wait to see how Clarkson handles Kimi's indistinguishable mumbling.

Meanwhile Rubens Barrichello will be racing in the american indycar series this year.

Dunno if this will help anyone, but sky has launched a dedicated F1 channel. You get some interesting documentaries on it if you got time to kill.

Brilliant performance by Hami and Button, and both Mercedes start from the top 10. Sucks to be Alonso though, I thought he was going to deck the steward with the steering wheel. It looks like RBR have lost some of their confidence, if Q3 is anything to go by.

[Simplelife]

Yup, excellent performance by McLaren, and good to see Hamilton on pole…

[MasterDon]

So the rumours are true,Ferrari is pretty slow.I had hoped the were bluffing...The McLarens seem fast as they look...Dammit!

It's more like the drivers couldn't control the fezzas very well. It was clear that Massa and Alonso were struggling to make them go the way they wanted them to.

[g-unit]

It seems like Adrian Newey's wariness of the Mercedes W03's pace aren't unfounded after all. Still early days but looks promising. Come on old man lets show them how it's done. Let's put some pretenders on the grass. Better yet... the gravel traps.

Well this time both RBRs had a hell of a time catching up to the McLarens. Both (McLarens) were so much quicker and agile than they ever were last year. In fact, I do believe McLaren might just have returned to where they were in 2010.

Kimi was back to his bitchy self already, srsly he should be called the Ice Queen. Pity about Schumi and Nico, I was really hoping to see them both finishing in the top 10. I'm keeping an eye on them this time around.

Great race, awesome driving by Button….btw, anyone happened to listen to that radio conversation Kimi had with his team when the Marshalls waiving blue flags? Hilarious!

Yeah absolutely hilarious

Kimi: " Why Do I get all the time blue flags"

Race Engineer: "Blue flags are for cars behind you Kimi, they are not for you"

and what we didnt hear....Kimi: "Oh...I get it now...ooops"

Alonso did well to bring that Ferrari home to 5th. Reminded me of 2008/9 seasons when he man handled that Renault. With Merc and Lotus showing promise - Ferrari could do well to give the princess a better car, just for us to watch a thrilling season.

I had written Massa off early last year and he continues to prove it.

Totally agree ....Alonso was my hero of the day. I thought Hamilton is a grown up boy now, my bad..noticed how he reacted to his 3rd place? It was like he was attending an afternoon funeral service at Albert Park.
