    I don't see a need, it's not angsty, there's still discussion of the race, and no doubt there'll be more after the re-run. I'd keep it stickied until tonight, then let it drift down the page. No need to lock it.

    The Lotus is a beast! A two stop strategy as well as setting the fastest lap of the race right at then end is hugely impressive. Ferrari were also very quick, Red Bull were disappointing and don't understand how Vettel is happy to drop from 1st to 3rd. I think they will improve in hotter conditions though.

    I'm watching the BBC coverage, and getting an increased sense of deja-vu. It took me ages to realise I must have had a stream of the BBC coverage this morning. I was so sleep addled apparently I didn't notice DC was on the wrong channel.

    Yeah, I think that's what I had too. Seems odd that they sell their live coverage and use highlights themselves.

    It was a false position due to pitstops when he was at the front as he could go further on the tyres. Ultimately he finished only just ahead of di Resta

    I think that'll be down to the dirty deal with Sky.

    This. The thread will drift off the first page when people have done with it anyway. You're potentially preventing people from having a discussion on something, and I can't see anything to be gained from locking it.

    Sorry for re-hashing some old quotes.. go off line for a couple of days and you lot post a gazillion updates!

    My thoughts exactly (better get someone else next week..

    Shall I sing you an Abba tune? 2014 it will be "Welcome to Telmex McLaren Merecedes" ;)

    Is it too late to join the which hunt, where's my pitch fork?

    Tell me about, she knew even less about F1 than Joey (calm down fella, its a JOKE!!)#

    I thought it was just me.. the fella (you are you not?) is going the other way now, and liking everything, don't change your spots Joey! Don't Joey we (dis)like you just the way you are!

    <ok>

    <ok> Reason I like this forum, one of the best mannered and best informed I've been part of, No ranting please, we're British.. and American... and Aussie, and Kiwi... and European (don't trust those Frenchies though!)

    <ok> Somebody tell him his absence is no longer funny!

    <doh> Shame we couldn't pull it off but well played to the Welsh (now that's enough egg chasing comments)... back to the F1 Studio

    I'd give her slightly more than the benefit of my doubt! (sorry for lowering the tone briefly...) Now, back to the F1 Studio

    After our result, I may give it a wide birth <doh>

    It's Horrendous! If you listen to what he sings "He wants to be the only one that makes it to the line..." bloody ppor show!! wishing ill on the other drivers

    No Meth? OK.. can we still have the porn?

    Then the race began, won't rehash those comments, will add a damn fine start to the 2013 season, made up for Kimi's win, good to see that whilst RBs are quick over one lap, their race pace still needs some work. Ferrari look good and Massa looks like he'll be a more able number 2 from the get go this year, Hamilton looks happy with the car and Rosberg did well in Quali and the Race before his car failed.
    Current midfield leaders are FI, good for them!
    McLaren needs to up its game big time and Suaber need to ensure both cars make it the grid, feel sorry for Hulkenberg.
    Rookies whislt not setting the world alight didn't do anything outragous during the race.
    Would like a nice drive weekend for the Malayasian GP
