The new era of F1!

GO, GO, GO!

Not a bad start... Let's hope Rosberg doesn't run and hide, though.

rachel1990 · Post by **rachel1990** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:10

Gutted about Kobayashi no no no

Lotus are doing everything they can to be rotr aren't they

Hamilton is really in trouble!

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:11

Wait he stays out... Confusion on the pit wall

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:11

Ericsson keeping a cool head and is now 13th !

apple2009 · Post by **apple2009** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:12

What a chaotic start to the season...

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:12

We have a strange performance split here, Hamilton doing crap pace wise compared to Rosberg and Button crap compared to Magnussen, is this endemic of the mercedes engine?

Hamilton is out!!

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:13

Mereceds - in out, in out, shake it all about...

rachel1990 · Post by **rachel1990** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:14

Thats it for Hamilton and I reckon Vettel won't be far behind...

And that proves I'm right!!

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:15

Go home Kobayashi. :evil:

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:15

Forza Magnussen and Hulkenberg! Brilliant move by Bottas there!!

Vettel appears to have retired too!!

apple2009 · Post by **apple2009** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:16

Vettel out.

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:17

Amazing Magnussen didn't wipe out Alonso at the start there.

A bit too enthusiastic from Kobayashi!

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:17

Possible Kobayashi's brake system failed, hard to know

Pieman · Post by **Pieman** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:17

What the bloody hell is going on?

Pity I wanted to see what he could do in the middle of the grid- But that was not a weekend he will look back on fondly

Battle of the Finns!! Go on Bottas Woo hoo! Bottas showing what Williams can do!

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:20

Some nice Finn-on-Finn action there.

rachel1990 · Post by **rachel1990** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:20

Williams are back!!! Its great!

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:23

Ericcson and Chilton battling for 13th place! Can they get points? Bottas has totally screwed it up!!

I hope so, but remember that saying about swallows and summers...

Battling might not be good for either of them - they really need to just cruise around and me there to pick up the pieces.

Pieman · Post by **Pieman** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:24

Bottas you bathplugging idiot! Hero to zero in two seconds.

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:24

Safety car likely due to Bottas's idiocy!!!

rachel1990 · Post by **rachel1990** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:24

Bottas has wrecked the car- First double DNF for Williams possibly- no no no

apple2009 · Post by **apple2009** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:24

BOTTAS!

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:25

Swallows... summers...

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:25

He got away with it for now but big lesson learned there! called it!! Safety car

yeah me and my big mouth- But how was I suppose to know he would do that

Stareagle · Post by **Stareagle** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:26

Noooo! Bottas was brilliant!

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:26

Button could have leaped massively here!!

S951 · Post by **S951** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:27

oh no bottas but god he is fast!!

marussia and caterham really could get points super swede is not far off

Post by **Londoner** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:29

Screw Bianchi, it's all about MAX CHILTON. Come on chap, go get Marussia some points. :mrgreen:

What an absolute clusterf**k so far! :shock:

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:30

Been totally messed up, Button now in 6th place! Mclaren double podium possibly? Sutil not boxed interestingly, have Sauber got bullet proof tyre wear again?

apple2009 · Post by **apple2009** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:31

MasterCard Lotus are in 11th and 13th. Maybe not so bad after all.

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:32

Holy bugger!!! How did JB avoid screwing that pit entry up?

Post by **Londoner** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:33

Light rain at turn three.

apple2009 · Post by **apple2009** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:35

Green again.

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:35

Rosberg has bolted, Bottas passed someone

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 16 Mar 2014, 06:40

Bottas versus Maldonado... oh well that was anti-climactic, great from Bottas, smug moment lol
