Above averagely exciting Australian Grand Prix, largely because of accidents and errors, Rosberg extends his winning streak. But the big story is the Haas team getting a 6th place finish through Grossjean in their first race. Wouldn't surprise me if the yanks teach a few teams a bit of a lesson this season, and spend considerably less money than the average in the process.
Ferrari were in command up to Alonso's crash, Vettel seemed destined to win but the hold-up blew their strategy and Rosberg cashed in. Hopefully this signals a far more competitive championship than last season's boring Mercedes 1-2 even though that was how today ended up. Alonso must have thanked his lucky stars for the safety cell he was in, the rest of the car was wrecked...
I used to like F1 but the last few years I have lost interest. Far too many processions instead of exciting racing. The prices they charge for entry are astronomical and the product is not worth the money they charge.
Think I paid something like 490 euros plus just to see one race. At least you would get half a season of football for the same money.
I've taken to recording the race and watching on fast forward, makes it a bit more interesting! Needless to say I rewound and watched the Alonso crash a few times just to try and figure out how he managed to get himself out seemingly unharmed! Amazing
