It was a poor start to the season. Whilst still in recovery from viewing Hamilton and Vettel's back to school haircuts and Hamilton's encroaching American accent, Halo, Baby! and I found ourselves cheering on Vettel to take pole. How times change.
The subsequent press conference between Hamilton, Raikkonen and Vettel promises an interesting year ahead and some good battles to come.
Much was made of Mercedes' "party mode" but it seems that the top teams are closer than they have been for a while. Elsewhere on the pitlane, the cars dropped like flies, Sirotkin, then the Haas's to door-slamming frustration. At least Alonso made 5th, let's hope he spices up the racing.
Vettel bounded up the stairs after the race, hoping to show that 58 laps is nothing to him. Hamilton claimed he was "saving the engine" in the face of the track not allowing overtaking. Despite Webber's pleas the crowd still booed Hamilton. I think this is the year that panto arrives at F1, what will the Americans make of that?
So what will the season ahead bring? And will I ever be able to distinguish between Sauber and Williams' liveries?
Now I'm looking for a volunteer for the commentary next race...let me know if you're up for it.
