In my opinion, this one was more intresting than in Melbourne.
On the first lap Fernando Alonso had contact with Sebastian Vettel's car. He damaged his front wing. His team was ready for him on pitstop, but he went throught next lap and before first curve, front wing destroyed completley, and makes his cars uncontrollable.
He couldn't do anything with his car, and went out of track.
Ferrari made mistake, they probably want him to make few more laps on new tyres, but unfortunately it all went wrong. Just a misunderstading.
Next thing made smile on face of every F1 fan.
Lewis Hamilton made a little mistake and went to wrong garage, to his old team McLaren instead of Mercedes. Fortunately, he recognized it quickly and go ahead to his team. He must really missed them ! :)
A moment later, Torro Rosso released Jean-Eric Vergne to fast from pit straight on Charles Pic's car from Caterham. That pit release was unsafe, and cost Torro Rosso 10,000 $ fine.
Then problems in pit had Sahara Force India, first Adrian Sutil, and then Paul di Resta. Wheel nuts issue, made team to make decision of retiring from Grand Prix.
Next, Sebastian Vettel has been complaining over the radio that Webber is too slow. They were fighting so raw, that it was so close to crash. Sebastian ignored team order and overtook Mark. There was unpleasant atmosphere in Red Bull Racing team after race. However, Sebastian apologized in interview for this whole accident.
Another problems in pit had Jenson Button. The mechanics had problem with fitting the front tyre. "I think we could have challanged the Mercedes" Jenson said. It looks like McLaren has same problem with mechanics like last season.
Then were fights between Nico Hulkenberg and Kimi Raikkonen first on pit, then on track, but later Kimi easily passed Nico for being on 8th position.
Next Pastor Maldonado once again was out of track, but this time he couldn't back on track. That's not suprise for anyone.
Later on there was another complaining over the radio, but this time by Nico Rosberg. He said that he is quicker than Lewis, and want to let him pass. However, Ross Brown told him that Lewis could go quicker to, but he is managing his pace by team instructions.
In the end, Massa was so active and fast. However all what he could do that time was being on 5th position.
Many suprises, many disappointments - typical race.
We can say that more were happening in pitstop than on track!
Only 3 more weeks and we will have another rivalries.
On 12th April will begin Chinese Grand Prix.
