Massa has the rocket start. FA great too. Too bad FA touched Felipe. Those 2 have starts down. IF only the Ferrari and Williams were a touch better.

I am very frustrated and disappointed with the 2014 season.

At least Alonso came in third

FA & FM had a brilliant start!!

I am not sure was FM's williams was going to fast thus he got no room when behind Vettel(?) thus he had to move to the left meanwhile FA was getting ready for turn 1 thus had the touch.

but it was a pity for Massa for what happened during his pit-stop..


Regarding Raikkonen..... it's because of the car, or the driver....??

no clue.. but when one ferrari is on podium and one is falling in the mid-field...

well.....

So I have to say Im a bit frustrated with the results!! I understand that Mercedes has a distinct advantage with their engine and by-proxy their whole car, but did you see the way Hamilton just jumped out at the beginning and was leading by 5-6 seconds within a lap! That just seems fishy to me. Or maybe Im just frustrated because I hate Hamilton. Oh well.

we've been seeing the same car and same driver pull out a 5+ seconds lead after 1 lap for the last 4 years.

what's wrong with it when finally it is done by a different car&driver..???

Because it becomes an uncompetitive and boring sport.

Yes, I have caught a few races, but I guess I didn't realize it was so uncompetitive. Thanks for setting me straight.

I like the cars and the courses, so I will continue to watch, but I am just stating my opinion.

Those Williams boys sure are hungry for a podium spot!

The race was a little too processional for me.
