So did Manor only show up to claim last year's prize money?

Pretty boring. This is the first year since the early '90s that I will miss the Canadian GP. This new generation of cars leave cold. No noise. When I think back to just a few years ago they were turning near 20K RPM and just wailed, it makes me sad. For the first time, I sat in the stands last year with no earplugs. Oh to go back to the glorious sound of those Ferrari V-12s of the late '80s and early '90s.

I thought Max Verstappen had a very impressive debut weekend. Sorry to see he was not able to finish and get some points on his debut.

My very low expectations of the race were met, so I guess I wasn't disappointed...just sad.

I was happy to see Scuderia and Sauber showing some life, so that is promising.

I was there with our car club .. we had a display in the parkland around the back of the circuit and a seat in grandstand opposite the Rowing Club.

It has to be one of the more boring F1 races I have been to, the engines "drone" rather than the old V10 and V8 scream, and it was processional with too few runners at the end to maintain any sort of interest.

There is no doubt that Renault have dropped the ball badly and whilst Ferrari have closed the gap, they still have a long way to go.

Honda are not in a good place, their engine is way under-developed and the way the engine rules are written, they may struggle to catch up.

Ferrari has closed the gap to Mercedes in FP2. I'm excited for qualifying and the race.

I don't think they will be able to match Mercedes' race pace, but it's exciting that they are making strides.

For sure. We need the rest of the pack to step it up. Id like to see Williams and Red Bull more in the mix. This should be a better race than Melbourne was!

WHAT A RACE

What an amazing Grand Prix! Wow!

m4a1mustang · 03-29-2015, 04:04 AM

Those Ferraris have speeeed! Merc really ****** up on strategy. Hamilton had the pace to win but I believe the team underestimated Ferrari. That said, I think we're in for a four way fight assuming Raikkonen can get luck on his side.

Yes Kimi needs a break but now Vettel has the upper hand. Its going to be tough for him now. I see the team coalesce with Vettel. I will watch this one again! So much was goin on. Mercedes look truly shocked with Lauda and Toto basically saying they got beat straight up and it was not about a blown tire strategy.

It was a big part of it, though. I don't think Toto would want to admit it. Had Hamilton stayed out under the SC I think he'd have stood a much better chance of staying out in front of Vettel. I don't think anyone expected Ferrari to match Mercedes' long-run pace. The Ferrari looks like it's very good on tires, too.

Such a smooth chassis with a really stout engine is going to be a pain in Mercedes' butt this season.
