Shame Button didn't get his moment on the podium

Just managed to see the race.... some positives and some negatives I felt.

Horrible sound which I don't think will improve, cars look as ugly as ever, although the Williams livery helps a lot especially the front wing camera angle with the martini stripes in full view is great. The new tech is a bit hit and miss but I expect that will fully improve in the coming races, I just hope it is sooner rather than later.

The result was unexpected but well done Nico (one of the BMW junior drivers so more than happy with his win) Bloody great to see the Ric and Mag on the podium and as for Button, if he'd made Q3 I think he could have won today, expected more from the Ferrari's but then it is only race 1 so better to score some points than no points...

I had little expectation of Seb improving so not surprised his car failed, worrying development about the sister car after such a debut drive on his home race.

On the whole I rate it 5/10.... not the worst GP but plenty of room for improvement.... just glad the season has begun.

pretty much agree with your sentiments, especially re: Button.

There was a huge lull in the middle where I could have fallen asleep especially considering it was 4am. But I hung in there.

How long has it been since there wasn't a World Champion on the podium?

Just flipped through the archives: This is the first time since Monaco 2010 that there was no World Champion on the podium.

Wow, he's only taken part in one race, and you're already tipping Magnussen for a WDC someday!
