Doh I'm an idiot, misreading the gaps thought he was within 5secs lol

Love to see Petrov on the podium after last season's showing. Complete turn-around.

Psycho Ned · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:30

You wonder where Kubica would have been if Petrov can get the Renault in third! Heidfeld has done nothing in comparison.

Heidfeld has sidepod damage apparently, but yes, he has done very little this weekend.

Masterdog · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:32

I still think Heidfeld will do something by the end of the season. I'd bet on a podium for him at some point. It's a massive shame about Kubica though.

The mclarens have now done twice as many laps in one go then ever before.

Gonna be weird with no shouty voices!

Sparky · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:33

and relax.....

Flibster · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:33

Vettel takes the win.

Hamilton 2nd - 22.2 seconds behind.
Petrov 3rd - 8.2 seconds behind.

Webber pulls over immediately after crossing the line.

Mike_P · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:33

Fastest lap for Massa.

Cue DQ for Hamilton on technicalities.

Masterdog · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:33

Booo. Oh well. At least it wasn't as dominating as I'd feared.

Hastarius · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:33

Good drive from Petrov

Masterdog · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:34

Mute.

dalin80 · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:35

So prat wins but mclarens performance really gives me hope that within a few GP they can really challenge.

Mr Jack · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:36

What on earth was Heidfeld doing this weekend?

Vettel and that Red Bull clearly dominant again. Webber should be red faced over that showing.

Congratulations to Petrov and Perez.

Great race by petrov and Hamilton.

Shame bout hamiltons damage, would have liked to see him have a go at the end.

knip · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:37

You can tell Petrov's not done this before, he's parked it in the wrong place!

Masterdog · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:38

Be quiet Coulthard! Stop citing precedent.

adam cool dude · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:39

Go mother Russia!

Glaucus · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:39

Great drive by vettle and Hamilton, just hope Hamilton passes scrutineering.

What was button doing, just give it back, especially after Alonso pitted first, so he could hand it back without being over taken by Alonso. Idiot.

Petrov - stunning.

Perez - one pitstop :eek:

if they can keep the tyres good they must be on for a hole bundle of points this year.

RBR - gone for same as last couple of years, forgo trick parts including kers to have an ultimately balanced and aero superb car. it's simple design but so detailed and perfected.

DRS - what utter pants, yes it's made over taking a bit easier, but omg is it boring. Steam up punch that and kers and then just outbrake. It's not racing. Solve the ***** problem. More BHP, more mechanical grip, far less aero grip.
