I agree that this was a great race. If it's any indication for the rest of the season, we're in for a treat. Can't wait to see what Malaysia brings.

Hopefully with the new site changes we'll all be able to get to know each other even more and enjoy what looks to be a great season ahead :) As for your comment about HD, we've been getting an HD feed here in Australia for at least last season and this season - not sure whether it's technically HD "resolution" or anything though, but it's on the HD channel :) <strong>Stephen</strong> - Thanks! :) Glad to see you're still around too! Always nice to read your comments :) I guess I could have mentioned Jenson, but really he only had 2 people to beat - Rubens and himself. Rubens was all over the shop but Jenson did a great job of not cracking so yes, well done to him! :) <strong>Caitlin</strong> - Ahh, another familiar name - so nice to see you here still too :) I feel for Vettel too. The guy is <em>sooo</em> talented yet sometimes has some bad luck (reminds me when he went into the back of Mark Webber in the wet they year before last under safety car - to see him crying in the pits - heartbreaking is right! :) Not really sure what happened to Kimi either..?

I was so sad for Vettel! I was really excited to see him right up there. I think Kubica maybe should have backed off a bit, and then attacked again at a later point. As my dad always says, a true mark of a champion is not just knowing when to pass, but when not to pass as well. It was really heartbreaking to hear Vettel call himself an idiot on the team radio after. Also, what happened to Kimi? I know he hit the wall or something to that effect, but I don't think it was televised so does anyone have the deetz? Or was he just trying to save his engine? I think I was going through F1 withdrawal.

Regarding his latest points medal idea two comments stood out for me: "If its in the regulations when they sign for the 2010 season, then they can't argue" and "That's the problem with a democracy" Can't be good for the sport! Agree with you on the Bernie point Jason. Regarding his latest points medal idea two comments stood out for me:

For the motorsport that is supposed to be showcasing the world's best in technology, it just doesn't make sense that the feed is still only SD. You can be sure that the real reason comes down to some scheme that Bernie has for milking the race organizers, tv stations...and effectively the fans, for more money. I look forward to the day when he is no longer holding the sport for ransom..... ;) Here is one complaint…with all this talk of improved race coverage, where is the HD?!?

Think you forgot somebody: <b>Jenson Button</b> - So nice to see an invigorated Jenson in a car worthy of his skill. Drove a flawless race and after the loyalty he gave Honda, very well deserved. Having said that, come on Kimi! Welcome back! Think you forgot somebody:

I can only echo your words..."what a great start to the season". If Melbourne was any indication of what we can expect in terms of overtaking and racing, it should be exciting ...now if we can only address those painfully long safety car sessions somehow. It will be good to see the McLarens and Ferraris have to fight their way up from the back of the pack as the season progresses. Good to hear from you dScribe after a looooonnng off season.
