Good job by the top 3. Hats off to RoGro, I've always praised him as a talented guy and he gets the podium.

Updated.
I was a bit too quick for the autosport site. They did the drivers and uploaded it and I must have grabbed it before they did the constructors :)

You do not know the rules Kimi, there are team orders. :p Lotus should have ordered Grosjean over as Kimi was on quicker tyre.

It's being a great season so far.

There are a lot of drivers driving really, really well. And with all the cars so close in performance I'm really enjoying it :)

A few quick points:
- Great drive by the top 3
- Ferrari improving, which is good to see
- McLaren pissed away their opportunity to steal a march on the others
- Rosberg needs a slap on the arse for those moves
- Sauber need to realise doing one stop less doesn't always work. You have to work it properly!
- Great drive from di Resta!

I've got a bad feeling, that from now on the red bulls will just dominate as in 2010/2011

Well Vettel has had a terrible start to the year and yet he leads the championship. The others have missed the proverbial boat...

Terrible is too strong a word, but McLaren have really shot themselves in the foot making mistakes and not taking advantage of their initial advantage.

The teams aren't hanging about packing up (looks quicker than usual). Sky are on air for another hour yet and I'm not sure anyone else will be left by the time they finish :)

Lazenby acts so clumsy, such a difference to Humphrey. Yeah, it's his first season, but nevertheless...

Lots of black smoke around the villages near to the track
