Hopefully we won't just see silver colour in the front row....

I never like ferrari, the last 3 years I pay for attention on them because of Raikkonen.

Why I don't like ferrari? Below is one of the reasons:

Australia is always pretty processional. I was hoping for more overtaking with the new rules. I'll reserve judgement for a couple more races. Nice to see Bottas win.

I have to admit guys, after Friday's 1000 Mile WEC Race and yesterday's 12 Hrs of Sebring, the F1 race was just Boring to me. I still can't stand the commentators and Martin Brundle is the WORST. I know it's just the first race and hopefully it will get better.

Why is it when Lewis is leading, they can’t shut up about. Today, I almost forgot about Bottas because they didn’t say ANYTHING about him.
He’s definitely the Rodney Dangerfield of F1.

Even when it eventually turned to a 17 car train towards the finish line, I enjoyed the race. Glad to see Bottas win, Honda back on its feet with a podium for RB, Haas beat Renault. Renault engines continue to frustrate. Disappointed with Ferrari, Gasly, Grosjean, Ricciardo, and Sainz. One question, why can't Haas put on wheels right?

The reason why they can't put on wheels right is because ,they are being trained by Haas's NASCAR Team.

There were 14 OTs compared to 3 LY. That's a large improvement in a track where it is difficult to OT.

Formula 1; the formula is money. The best championship that money can buy. Congratulations Mercedes! What an absolute joke.

I've always believed in you have to pay to play and that is what makes Formula 1 great. They come up with the most insane technology. If you have an issue with who's spending the most, its Red Bull. They have two teams in F1.

Completely agree!! Here we go again. It’s looking like another boring season with Mercedes basically parading in the front. I don’t know what it will take for F1 to put a spending restriction in place. How hard can it be!

As much as I agree with the "I'm sick of Mercedes spending more money and winning all the time" sentiment, the last thing I want to see in F1 is spending restrictions. Stifling innovation and R&D to make the cars more bunched up on race day is absolutely not what I want from F1. The competition needs to be there, of course, but I don't want to see the best team/car on the track having to restrict or de-tune so that other teams can keep up
