I like Hülkenberg but Sutil would have scored more points so far :zz:

What about the stewards' decision on the Rosberg incidents? If he doesn't get at least a reprimand for those moves...

Funny :lol: Must be a typo in http://www.formula1.com
Race - selected team and driver quotes
Mike Gascoyne, Caterham chief technical officer
“We can be pleased with today’s performance from both cars. Despite the puncture Heikki suffered on the first lap he put in a very strong drive all afternoon and Vitaly was also racing Ricciardo hard for most of the afternoon. This shows we are definitely making progress, and our qualifying performance yesterday gives us good reason to look forward to the European season which starts in two weeks in Barcelona. We have a number of updates planned for the next few races, and more to come throughout the season, so we will aim to keep building on this type of performance and keep edging closer to the teams ahead."

Mark Smith, Caterham technical director

Anyway, overall in Caterham they think the race was pretty good ''hmm''

Q: (Khoda Rawi – F1Arab.com) Kimi, a good result today, but do you think Lotus can keep up the momentum for the next races?
KR: We will try. It’s the same story; I have no idea what’s going to happen in the next races but the team’s been pushing hard to try to improve the car, bringing new parts, but of course they haven’t been working as well as we hoped, but anyhow, they are bringing new updates every time when they can. We try to keep pushing and stay up there, but I cannot answer because they are not. That’s our aim and that’s what we’re working for and hopefully it will happen, but who knows how well we can improve or what the others will do. The team is doing good work and we deserve to be here and hopefully we can stay up here in other races also.

Glad theres no penalty. now lewis and alonso can overtake like they used to and shove rosberg into the wall. Precedent has been set; you can force a car off track, so lets see proper aggressive racing

Didnt mate! Saw the Nasr Ceccotto incident. I thought checcotto would be penalised as it was no different TO Lewis/Pastor in monaco, but Nasr got a penalty!? Contradictive as per.

Watch it at some point (if you have Sky), because it was just mental. At one point I think both the defending car and attacking car was off the circuit :lol:

So, 4 different teams winning the first 4 races. First time since 1983 apparently.

edit:
From the sprint race, although the feature race was mega too

I don't know if I am lucky but when i went to the media center for the first day. The lady told me to go inside and see where I want to sit and get back to her with the seat number. Well I didn't, I told her show me the empty seats and I took "H16".

I went there and I saw James Allen at the left. Edd Straw and Jonathan Noble in front of me and a journalist from Sky sports and Adam Cooper. So I was really happy because I took that seat :p

I met the Crown prince today he told me "We have a problem here, no one is hiding it. But we have to tell the truth to the people and not just rumours" and that's what I am trying to do :p
