I've lurked here for years without really wanting to say much. Today's race is the first I'll be able to see in whole, live, for the season. With that said, there is so much taking place on the track it is absolutely fantastic compared to the few years prior. It is great watching a race and not having to fight wanting to doze off.

I will continue to be a huge fan of the engine changes if this keeps on throughout most of the season.

EDIT: It is great watching both Mercs at the top wanting to take each others wheels off. I'm loving it.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

I thought teams weren't allowed to send messages like that. Didn't Ferrari get in trouble for telling Massa to get out of Alondo's way a few years ago?

They're allowed to now because it was obvious all the teams were doing it.

It's amazing that the Mercs are having battles like that so far in the lead and yet are using ~1% less fuel than the Williams.

Anyone who doesn't like the new engines can get hosed for this (mostly because it's happening to Vettel, not Alonso mind you)

I have to say, its great to see Williams competitive, and Massa running within shouting distance of a podium position for a change. :3:

A surprising amount of battles between teammates too. Great to see.
