    So what did everyone make of the season opener?
    I thought it was tremendous and hopefully we'll have more races with lots of drivers in contention at the front, tyre strategy playing a key role...and Kimi winning!
    Roll on Malaysia!

    Shame the rain didn't spice the race up, action wise it was good enough. Nothing incredible, but definitely not boring either. Kimi winning definitely gave it some clout too

    Perfect summary. I gave it a 7, it could have been a 6. Pity it didnt have a stronger shower or two. Australia is usually better. Ferrari's strategy really shat upon Massa.

    Gave it a 6, delighted to see someone else win other than Vettel and it wasnt as boring as i thought it was going to be.

    I liked the uncertainty about the tyres and that the less favoured 2 stop strategy won (I think), that might mix things up for future races or until teams get used to tyres

    I liked Maldonado in the gravel spinning his wheels like a Muppet, then blaming the team.

    Gave it a 7. For a race where they were no safety cars, rain or front runner accidents/failures, it was very watchable.

    Gave it an 8 mainly because I had missed it.

    Still don't like driving around saving tyres.

    Gave it a five. It was a battle of the tyres. Liked how Sutil stayed in the lead for a lot of it. WOuld have prefered more "racing"

    Gave it an 8 because after qualifying and the first lap I thought Vettel was going to win it easy. Great strategy from Lotus and great driving from Kimi.

    Massa got screwed over in the second round of stops though.

    I love back to back races. Bring on next weekend.
