Lewis was more than half of second faster than Maldonado, that's really harsh penalty, but in the other side i'm so glad to see Maldonado on the top :lol:, he did really great job, Massa :o Alonso :o unbelievable.

Brilliant race for Maldanado. Very pleased for him, he did what Perez couldn't do in Malaysia. Last year, he looked like the rookie but a promising race that he won.

Enjoying the closeness of this season.

Yet another great race and yet another winner, that's 5 different winners from 5 races!! (and 5 different teams too)

If someone suggested to me that Maldonado would win a race this year before the season started I'd laugh my head off, what a turnaround to last season when he got no points I think (did get punted off at Monaco by Hamilton when in the points last year)

Now to Monaco, who knows who'll win, someone who can pass would be one to watch there I think, Mercedes won't like this circuit much as they rely on long straights more

Always one of my favourite races. Plus, there's a chance of rain which will make it a very eventful race!

Well done Shumi for getting pole, shame you were a bit of an ass at the last race and got it stripped from you.

Glad Mark's at the top, though his success rate at converting poles into wins is pretty poor.

Should be a brilliant race no matter what though.

I think what happened in Barcelona seriously did not need Schumi to be punished!

It was such a tight race. Very pleased for Webber winning and good drives all-around really!

Top 6 in 6 seconds is truly amazing, so bad that rain didn't dropped a little bit more in last 10 laps. :lol:

Last year's Canadian GP was so good. I was watching it for about 5 hours.

Bring on the rain (hopefully)!

Great to see a 6th different winner at Monaco, but yet again it proved impossible to pass anyone at this circuit, anyone who tried seemed to spin or crash out

Canada tends to be really exciting, a bit of rain would makes things interesting!! Last years race did run over a bit :lol: :lol:

Vettel on pole again. Maybe he'll slip up like he did last year on the last lap.

I haven't the foggiest what's going on with Button at the moment.

Ferrari seems like really is back in great form, hopefully that Alonso or Lewis will take number 1 spot from Vettel when the starts goes!

^^ :D

Yes Yes Yes Lewis! That was INCREDIBLE! WOW!
Crazy last 10 laps! Amazing race! :D :D

So glad to see Vettel out of top 3, poor Alonso such a fiasco in the end from first position to no.5, bad strategy!

Congrats to Perez for great drive too!

Strategy really came into play in this race. Although I dislike Hamilton, he did a great drive today.

The last 10 laps were brilliant. Some amazing drives from Grosjean and Perez to get them on that podium, two drivers with lots of potential.

5/7 retirements for Schumi. :lol:

For a race that was faitly uneventful in first 50 or so laps (well 2 passes early on and the top 3 changing places during the pit stops), the last 20 were just insane!!

Why on earth did Ferrari not pit Alonso? Really stupid strategy keeping him out, even Vettel came in and he caught and passed Fernando

Yet another winner!! Well done Lewis though for me Grosjean was driver of the day as he really did look after his tyres as did Perez, Grosjean is doing a lot better in his 2nd stint in Formula 1

I'm hoping that, on a circuit where it's difficult to overtake, Webber will finish higher than where he qualified. :lol:
