If I have to give it to anyone I'll go for Lotus (yep, I spotted I called it Renault afterwards! Sorry, Mr Bahar).

They could have lost the win with pitting Kimi on the same lap as Seb, but who knows? Perhaps they know now that they mightn't have had the tyres for the end. Still, a bit more adventure on that and it might have worked. They were the only team that I saw do a good job with both cars.

Lotus....err...Renault. Well, there was only the Red Bull chassis that wasn't theirs that finished in the top three positions.

Easily Lotus this race, but Red Bull pulled a great race out of the bag too. Amazing how utterly predictable this season is so far - every race has had different cars battling for podium positions and seeming to have the pace over the others.

I gave it to Lotus.

The rest in ascending order : -

Red Bull(got 1st and 4th - so hey).
Force India(good strategy with Di Resta).
Ferrari(taking their dog of a car and getting it into the points with both drivers).

Epic fail of a team - McLaren. Those pitstops are bad for them.

I'm a big McLaren fan, particularly Hamilton, but the team has really managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory pretty passionately this year. I can understand crap happening once in a while, but this is ridiculous. Somebody in Woking needs a kick-in-the-groin-ogram.

Genii or whatever they are calling themselves this week.

Only got it by default because everyone else tripped themselves up.

The no team orders bit was just dumb, KImi would probably have won if they hadn't held themselves up!

On second thoughts RBR gets it! Good win!

It's easy to criticise McLaren (I seldom miss an opportunity...), however it can also be seen as the team trying to push the envelope and suffering teething problems with new innovations.

Sorry Garc, am I missing something, I thought they were pretty much just screwing up the basics?

Has to be Lotus, great drives from Grosjean and Raikkonen. Good overall pace AND fast in the speedtraps. So clearly a poor engine that needs improvement.

Nope, the nub (hub?) of the problem is their innovative use of titanium hubs and aluminium wheel nuts. The titanium hub is to reduce weight, the nut is aluminium so as not to damage the hub (titanium on titanium wouldn't be good). Trouble is, it looks like it's too easy to damage the nut.

That's how I understand it anyway. Cue someone with more technical knowledge than me to say all the other teams use titanium hubs too...

Lotus for me. They said in the close season that they were ready to step up, and I just thought "Sure, whatever". But here they are. Good work.

For heaven's sake garcon don't try to understand it from another's viewpoint. Where will we be if we do that?
