The speed of the cars is overshadowed by the cluster frick that was qualifying.

About 30 minutes behind on DVR

Only question is how much does Hamilton win by this week.

Racing seems much better than last year. What a wreck by Alonso

Hamilton fricked that start up.

No doubt he was correct with saying Ferrari has something.up their sleeve.

Wow, just saw it. Total destruction. Alonso looked like he was moving on pure adrenaline getting out of there. Geutierriez looked like he expected to see a corpse.

This is shaping up to be an exciting finish. I've been impressed with the HAAS car today.

I'm behind. Only on lap 25, but damn, Alonso is lucky to be alive! That was crazy.


And if Haas can score some points that'll be a great F1 debut

I don't know what the hell Ferrari were thinking coming out after the red flag with super softs on. It cost them the race.

I don't get it either. Even though the finish order looks familiar, this was a sweet start to the season and way more entertaining than your average race of last year. Good racing, surprising race pace from Ferrari, more whining f bombs from Max, a horrific crash ... and points for the Haas team!

I think it was the right plan. Mercedes just made incredible runs on those tires. They haven't always been known for tire performance in the heat.

Haas....Wow. No telling what would have happened if they didn't have their other car knocked out.

Gutierrez plain just didn't expect him to be there and he wasn't checking his mirrors.

Just glad that both are all right.

If I'm not mistaken, it looked like Lewis and Nico were actually getting asking and joking with each other, wtf!?!

If you would have told me that Haas would score points in their debut I would have called you crazy.

Awesome race and what a crash. If Ferrari were going to stay on super softs they should have at least put on fresh ones at the red flag.
