Good to see Lotus finishing strongly again, and a great drive from Kobayashi.
It's been a while since we saw Williams, Ferrari and Lotus together on the podium ?

5 races and 5 different winners, what a great result for Maldonado and 70th birthday present for Frank Williams

Seems to me that Webber has lost some agression in his driving, 3 x 4th places so far is OK, but he needs to show more. He seems quiet underwieght maybe he is lacking some stamina.
It's actually 4 x 4th places from 4 races, if he maintains that with the current points system and a different winner each race he could take the Championship

Kimi's return hasn't impressed me as much as it seems to have impressed everyone else. His team mate Grosjean, a rookie, is doing nearly as well. I'd be more impressed with his results if the Lotus Renault was a 'dog', rather than suprisingly good and/or he was seriously out-performing his team mate. Early days though and he may well yet do so.
The Rosberg incidents happened so quickly (and I don't think the coverage showed what happened from the beginning?), leaving me unable to make up my mind. I was hoping to see the incidents from different angles and/or from Hamilton and Alonso's car cameras - but haven't seen anything new yet. Without this - on one hand I think if the stewards decided it was OK, then it probably was but, on the other hand, twice in one race is a bit odd.
I agree with your comment that Hamilton going off-track to overtake did not benefit him but... Alonso complains about EVERYTHING that impedes him - so I no longer take his complaints seriously.
Edit - Slater was talking more rubbish than usual this GP for some reason. Perhaps he was just having a bad day.

I think the overtaking moves on Rosberg were more a product of the tracks and the ridiculous run-off areas on this and many other tracks. Rosberg knew he could push any passing driver to the edge of the track and even off it with really no consequence. He didn't need to give the passing driver 'room' as he would have been obliged to on tracks without such run-off areas. Hamilton was fortunate enough to have carried enough momentum to complete the pass off the track, which should not have been possible on a conventional track, he'd have been into the barriers.
This is not about Rosberg, Hamilton or Alonso as individual's it's more about the current tracks and what is perceived to be an acceptable standard of driving.

Star sports really need to get rid of that twat Slater. How can any commentator call it wrong so many times. He even called a second pitstop for Hamilton when he didnt realise it was a reply of his botched stop. Pr1ck!
Vent over.

You obviously never watched BBC F1 reporting in the Murray Walker era
I did and for all his faults I could forgive him a few mistakes because he had character and enthusiasm.
Here's a little info about Muddly Talker. I used to mechanic for a friend in the UK Superstocks motorcycle series. MW used to commentate and hours before every race he visited every team taking copious notes that he may use in his commentary. He is a great bloke and a pillar of the sport commentary community.
Slater on the other hand is an irritation. Calling it wrong and butting in with unfunny witicisms deserves a kicking at the very least!
I don't doubt MW's enthusiasm and commitment, but it didn't stop him calling it wrong over and over, in my books he was just irritating. When James Hunt joined him in the commentary team he just showed him up.

Quite an enjoyable race after all, even though Vettel won. I really thought Raikonen was gonna get him at one point, but then i think the tyre advantage he had wore off and then a pit stop put him behind a back runner, shame really, but pleased to see him on the podium
Was impressed with Di Resta, nice solid race, took care of the tyres well.
Mclaren had a disaster of a race, did not look competitive enough to get in the top 3 (good call Rivalex), even without the pit lane cock ups..

Mclaren really had a stinker of a race, they must've been counting on a better result as maybe Mercedes.
