I couldn't watch the race in real time but fortunately I could record it.

Wow! After the SC it was the most exciting race in long time.

The negative side is that the championship is almost over. Mercedes got a rocket.

I actually thought the race was better before the safety car, the safety car just bunched everyone up, but there had already been a lot of really great racing up until that point.

I hope Maldonado saves his next incident for a more boring race!!!

Overall it was a good race, but I think this season just turned into the Lewis show. Mercedes is by far the class of the field, and Lewis is the class of Merc.

Rosberg is often labelled 'the intelligent driver' but he clearly did not use it to his advantage in Bahrain. The safety car was a real gift but he only tried passing Hamilton using the same method again and again, while Hamilton was superbly defending. Rosberg started on pole, and it was his race to loose. And he lost it...

Rosberg clearly need to do better right from next race if Lewis is not to run away with the title from the onset. The Mercedes car was really impressive in Bahrain. Think they made close to 2 seconds gain to 3rd placed Perez for every lap after the safety car went in. With that kind of advantage it is difficult to see anybody else that would be able to battle with Hamilton but Rosberg at the front.

Regarding Ferrari?
Eating away the tyres, unstable both in curves and under braking, and a slow snail down the straights. What car did not overtake either Kimi or Alonso or both this last race down the straight? <doh>

Bummer! It looks like I miss some good spectacle. 2.00 am for me and working that same day was too much to handle at my age :)
Mercedes very impressive and will be just about impossible to catch up. Nice to see the usual "middle of the table" thanks to the Mercedes engine I guess at the top for once. Ferrari? it's a disgrace, I think they got rid of the wrong person (Aldo Costa) should have been Domenicalli. Bring back Flavio Briatore he's got balls and he is a very entertaining charactaire as well.

Did Ferrari spies get their hands on McLaren 2013 blueprints?
