Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - 2013 Australia

[Salamander]

I cannot bring myself to vote for Sutil at all as in my opinion he shouldn't be in a racecar after what he did. This will probably be very unpopular but that's the way I feel and will stand for every race this year, even if the petulant little ****er manages to win. God, I never thought I would find myself sharing an opinion with Lewis. Anyway...

Errr, which Lewis? Because Hamilton really wanted Sutil to return...

[Barbazza]

Strange, because Sky were implying during their commentary that the incident in the nightclub ended their friendship completely. Which seemed to be backed up by the fact that Lewis completely clammed up in the post-race interview when the battle with Sutil during the race was brought up, as if he didn't know what to say.

Well that's really weird, because he said he prayed for Sutil's return.

1 Adrian Sutil, looks like he got some advice from his former teammate Markus Winkelhock on how to lead a few laps.
2 Kimi, the only one that managed the two-stop strategy, and he actually looked happy on the podium...

Honourable mention: Bianchi and Marussia seem to have a reasonable race-pace, not too far of the midfield.

1. Sutil. Seventh which should've been fifth in a Force India.
2. Bianchi. I expected him to be the best of the four eternal backmarkers anyway, but not by that kind of margin.

[Onxy Wrecked]

1. Jules Bianchi, finishing behind the Williams of Bottas in a terrible Marussia is impressive. Only one lap down is a success and improbable performance.

2. Sutil, 7th is strong, but his car was a 5th place car and maybe a bottom of the podium with some luck.

[Benetton]

1. Jules Bianchi - Wasn't he announced to drive this season some 15 odd days ago! Excellent performance considering the time he had to prepare. Really stood out of the rookies and really dominated his teammate Chilton.

2. Adrian Sutil - What a comeback! Showed some rustiness in close combat but that was to be expected. Hopefully, he can dominate di Resta the way he did here so that we'll have some more funny PdR quotes to laugh at here.

[RAK]

1) Adrian Sutil: A surprising return for him after being out of the sport for a year, running for several laps in the lead and completely outshowing di Resta to the point where their close finishing positions didn't really represent the differences in performance.

2) Kimi Raikkonen: I reckoned that Lotus would have some success this year; I didn't expect it this early. A very good drive from the Finn from quite a way back on the starting grid. Will the Lotus cars have that tyre advantage in the rest of the season?

[DanielPT]

1) Sutil. He is proving that he really deserves to be there despite some glassy incidents. I will still wait to see the next races before eating my humble pie.

2) Kimi. Great drive from the Iceman.

[CoopsII]

Sutil - Total wankor but he did well
Raikkonen - Did that thing where people are busy watching the media darlings so dont notice him taking a well deserved win.

[Ed24]

I think that might be beyond Force India - I don't see anything beyond a whole personality transplant bailing di Resta out. Well, that or anything that can make people watch him on screen for more than 20 seconds without falling asleep.

Well apparently his new management are trying exactly that [personality transplant]!

[NAM]

1) Sutil - Welcome back.

2) Bianchi - Excellent debut, couldn't do better.

Honorable mention for Räikkönen for the clean win.

[Shizuka]

1. Adrian Sutil - 390 pts
2. Kimi Räikkönen - 172 pts
3. Jules Bianchi - 136 pts
4. Max Chilton - 16 pts
5. Felipe Massa - 10 pts
= Force India - 10 pts
7. Giedo van der Garde - 6 pts
= Jean-Eric Vergne - 6 pts
= Marussia - 6 pts

[Shizuka]

Results are finalized - Sutil takes the first IIDOTR in 2013.
