Sunday and the race has been done and there's no thread!

To be fair though, this was the first race of the season that I've bothered to watch and I'm glad I did.

Gutted for Ricciardo and it's the first time I've seen him not beaming from ear to ear.

Well done to Lewis though, took his chance and defended well.

Great race. It's normally pretty dull. Dunno what happened to Rosberg - he was nowhere

Yes, it was surprisingly entertaining.

Pretty entertaining race. Quite a few drivers seemed to make very poor decisions - probably due to the conditions...

Felt sorry for Ricciardo, but pleased he was cross about his team's shocking blunder, not Hamilton's robust driving!

Yes, I was surprised Hamilton did not get some sort of flak for his move on Ricciardo.
The Rosberg chase down has started and so the season should get pretty interesting from now on in....

On the frontal view, it appeared that Hammy left room plus was on the grippy dry line. Ricciardo was on the dirty, wet part of the track, so actually little chance of making a pass stick there. The should not have been a penalty. Rosberg's block the race before was much harsher.

Max made a hell of a lot of mistakes this weekend, even though he made some good passes on some very slow cars. I guess he still has some way to go ...

Given Rosberg has been a multiple winner at Monaco it was strange to see him struggle so much and he clearly had little option in letting Hamilton through. He may not have the wet driving skills but even when it dried up he struggled. I didn't realise he got mugged by the Hulk on the last lap smile

I thought Ricciardo held it together very well considering how his team have cocked up two races in a row.
Looking forward to Canadian GP
