Eric Bouillier's been very low key today! Paddy Lowe's being interviewed and not him..

I think the race was a dominated by caution from the veterans and lit up by the newbies. Kyvat Bottas and Kev all have good futures it seems. I seriously think Button realized that he could catch Kev, but may have got caught up in a mess and decided to save his engine for another day. Had he not missed out on qualifying he could have won the race IMO. |

Very good drive from Button from 10 to 4th! ![]() And Ricci realized in his first race for RB what Webber never managed, becoming the first Australian to stand on an Australian F1 Grand Prix podium! Also great to see that big talent instead of money can still make it in F1. Respect to Magnussen, that was impressive! |

Good race. But Ricciardo's second place is under threat due to some technical fuel related shenanigans: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2014/3/15579.html |

Oh well, it was bound to be Red Bull to be the first team found cheating as usual....

I just wonder if in a desperate attempt to make the car quicker they have pushed things too far with the fuel. turns a solid race into a very good race for McLaren |

Also, Kamui Kamikaze has been cleared of blame following his accident into the first corner, as it has been confirmed that the suspected braking failure on the rear axle was a car fault, and not actually a simple case of jumping on the brakes too late. That'll please Massa.... lol |

How, though? If the regs say 100kg/hour maximum flow, why have system that can deliver more? And how, if everything is ultimately controlled by the standard ECU? |

What a shame for Ricciardo - he drove a brilliant race. |

Are Red Bull allowed to appeal? |

They probably don't know how as they haven't had to appeal anything

They already have but considering the advantage a faster fuel flow has its a futile gesture. I guess they have fallen out of favour as Ferrari did once they racked up five years of wins. |
