    Highlight of the race? The Arnie interview!

    Vettel podium on his debut for Ferrari with a terminator. Bonkers.

    Mine was Arrivabiene interrogating the left rear wheel gun man with an expression on his face that suggested the poor guy will be sleeping with the fishes

    He should have asked Vettel if he'd be back.

    He was a gonner. Might as well get rid. Two similar slow stops, although the traffic light system wasn't his fault.

    It's not necessarily the engine hardware itself that really needs improving (too much), more the software mapping and control systems, all of which the teams have virtual free reign over throughout the year.

    Why are they booing Hamilton? Did he do something bad in the race? Don't understand really. He performed really well all weekend. Great try from Rosberg but I think Hamilton was pacing himself and managing the gap. Great race from Vettel in a new team..although i think Kimi might have had home at the start had not for the crash. Massa was good but he feel off after that pitstop. Nasr....full marks to him..he was my driver of the day. Shame for all those guys who had car problems especially Grosjean... I really feel for him.

    I think they were booing the politician who gave him the trophy, they cheered once he buggered off <laugh>

    So that's whoever designed the traffic light system also in hiding from now on in?

    Arrivabiene terrifies me. Comes across as a nice guy whenever he talks but has the face and phrases of a Mafia henchman.

    And have any of those sacked by Ferrari even been heard from again?......

    There were some boos when he was talking to Arnie too though.

    No. It was quite obvious they were booing Lewis which I think was strange, because he did everything right this weekend.

    Can't please them all! Was just the odd person I heard on my stream once the politician went away.

    Is pretty early though, didn't even notice this:

    I guess they saw the expendables.....

    Everyone on the podium had the unfortunate coincidence of "Not being Dan" too.

    Jebus. Clearly they decided to balance out the loss of front downforce by removing some rear grip and bolting just the one wheel to it....

    Raikkonens pace was actually impressive (even more so missing so much of his front wing). Just got a bit unlucky at the start coming together with Vettel sliding into him then both pit stops got messed up.

    Was really looking forward to Kimi re-establishing himself again.
