2012 Formula One Australian Grand Prix

[Scott Webber]

Chilling....

 

[S4Sonny]

Odd, Kobayashi passes Rosberg, overshoots and Rosberg takes the position back, Kobayashi was on Rosberg's tail and now he's 2 second behind..

Push Kamui!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I think Massa just resigned from Formula 1. What an incredible stupid incident between him and Bruno Senna.

MALDONADO's RACE IS OVER!

HUGE SMASH INTO THE WALL!

EDIT: Something went wrong for Rosberg?

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Damn Maldo, the best race of your life and you make a mistake there. Why not back off and take points instead??

Great race by Button and Vettel and Alonso!!

 

[S4Sonny]

Very happy with Sauber!

Kamui secures 6th and Perez who started 22nd finishes 8th!

 

[James Maskell]

Good pull back by Webber, and amazing race for Ricciardo + Perez

 

[James Maskell]

I dont think it could get any closer!!!! THis year is going to be a good one if it stays like this!

 

[Scott Webber]

Maldonado...why?!?!!?

 

[S4Sonny]

HOPEFULLY, the FIA don't find a reason to disqualify both the Sauber's again this year.

 

[Josh Barton]

Maldonado...why?!?!!?

Obviously there was a bug on his nosecone and he needed to crush it immediatley.

 

[James Maskell]

Dropped a wheel to far, on throttle to fast boom snap wall disappointing for Pastor. Hopefully its like this next weekend!

Except it will be in much better quality for me!

Wonder what the team are going to say to Maldonado....

What a waste of points, this time doesn't have Hamilton to blame.

Neither does Massa

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I think he has shown to have the pace and do a full stint easily. He just had some bad luck on the very last lap.

I think they are more then happy with him if you consider it´s the first race. Senna though....

Cheers Scott, much appreciated

A very good and promising start of the season.. The whole field is very evenly spaced out. Only three drivers were lapped before the last lap.. Ok, safetycar did some magic there but still.. And what a last lap, Kimi took three places and showed everyone that he truly is worthy of all the buzz.. Too bad he had to drive the whole race behind slower guys.. Just have to wonder if he would've made it to Q3, a podium wouldnät be too far...

McLarens are strong and RBR ain't too shabby either.. Lotus seems to stick to the road like a glue. Williams and Sauber were two very positive surprises for me.. i could be wrong but in this season we might find a lot of race winners.. Awesome, just awesome..

WHAT A BRILLIANT START TO THE SEASON .

Great drive from Button, in control from start to finish. Red Bull certainly not so far off the pace as some people thought but disappointed that Mercedes didn't have better pace. Would have liked to see how Schumi would have fared without his problems though. Suc a shame that Maldonado lost it on the last lap, Williams needed those points but at least they showed good pace here.

Only 7 days to wait for the next one as well.

 

[Bradley Vanian]

The most chaotic final lap in F1 for a long long time.

Maldonado Crashing
Rosberg Problem
Perez Running out of Fuel
Di Resta gaining 3 positions.

Also, it's funny how everyone thinks Vettel can't overtake and that it is boring when he wins races without much overtaking.

Button did a "Vettel" today but everyone thinks he was great (he was) but if Vettel won today in the same way, everyone would be criticising him.
