F1 racing is nice, but I like it when cars can get close and rub....cause let me tell ya, "rubbn' is racing"

Eta: 2 f1 cars barely knick each other and they both fly off the track

Hamilton is so much faster than the field it's not even close. I would hate to work for Mclaren right now, after that dreadful performance.

Race hasn't even started yet and Bottas isn't racing cause he hurt his back, Magnesson's car just gave out and it looks like Danny Kvyat car just broke down as well.

I'm very impressed with Nasr and this Sauber car.

Just finished watching Qualifying and I don't want to read the thread due to spoilers. Some of what I say may be wrong because the race had been run.

Looks like everyone is chasing 3rd place again assuming Nico can race like the first half of 2014.

Kudos to Ferrari, holy cow it looks like that team put in some work.

McLaren has to be kicking themselves and Honda right now. Going to be a long year for them. Might as well start looking to 2017.

Went almost as expected. Finish the race and get points

This has to prove that there needs to be more testing in the off season. Along with the V6 this is killing the sport. Too expensive? frick you, get out. Everyone can that Renault for the slow death of this sport if the engines don't get changed.

Awesome to see Vettel back in a legit car and I know Ferrari has to be jerking each other off over the podium.

The season is going to be boring if you aren't a Hamilton or Rosberg fan. I see several teams bailing by middle of the season to concentrate on next year.

Honda
