How would you rate the 2015 Australian GP?

Just curious to see how people rate the GP, which I am thinking of doing through the season, to see trends and whatnot, along with the usual driver of the day polls that people put up.

I get the feeling any option over 3/5 wont be used much.

What have Renault done? They seemed to be the most up for this new engine regulations, and they seem to not even be standing still, but going backwards. Baffles me.

Just seen post race interview with him, first one I've seen this year personally. Christ he makes me feel old, and I'm not even 30! He couldn't even have a pint to celebrate his record breaking points finish (assuming he does indeed do it)

Re: Kimi Raikkonen's incredibly bad luck

I thought he already pass Vettel in the start but he was outbraked and Vettel moved his car before he got the inside line which meant Kimi was a sitting target for others to crash into. Right, and that's what is being called... racing. Remember, racing is what people want, unless it disadvantages t...

Nasr, Hamilton and Sainz. Given all the Verstappen hype, it was nice to see Sainz demand screen time in quali and the race, putting some moves out there.

Nasr was the man of the day, Hamilton entertained me by putting in a fastest lap anytime Rosberg started to gain.

I disagree, I think double points still makes a huge difference. The points difference as it stands is 17 in Lewis's favour. In Abu Dhabi, if normal points, Lewis would win the WDC no matter what if he finished 6th - 8 points would put him 25 points clear, and even if Rosberg won, he would win the ...

Re: Driver(s) of the Day - Russian Grand Prix

Surely Grosjean must be getting drive of the day? Unfairly penalised for a racing incident (I'd probably even label the blame on Sutil's side if pushed) and still finished ahead of his team mate. Incredible, put the car where it deserved to be, against all the odds.

Re: Verdict on Sochi

The first sector is pretty good, I really enjoyed the first couple of laps and the action throughout around Turns 1-4, but I think the combination of poor TV direction and overly-conservative tyres dulled it a bit too much. Let's see how next year goes.

The only person to make a big mistake was Rosberg, so although he drove a stellar race and proved he can come back through the field, he also put himself at the back of the field.
