Best outcome, once Dan was out of the running.

Three things looked better though - the Giulia QV, Giulia Veloce and 4C on the Alfa stand in the paddock. All Rosso of course! And they attracted quite a crowd.

But man, what a boring race.  Qualifying, great.  First lap, good.  The rest, zzzzzzzz

[lombardi]

Incredibile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrivabene arrived well

[carlo rossi]

I have to admit it was boring
no passing really ,they have to give them less restrictions ,down the tiny straight it was like watching angry mopeds.
thats why i watch motogp
watch it once, and your hooked

[kartone]

ahhhh .... the seventies & eighties ... Villeneuve, Alboreto, Nicky, Senna, Prost !

You're right Carlo, it was a bit dull. Most excitement we had (at corner 11) was when Grosjean's Haas died and rolled to stop as it was passing, and I think it was Alonso's Maclaren that died just in front of us toward the end. Oh, and one of the Haas' also went slightly onto the dirt on the first lap...

But the Supercars were outstanding - what a fantastic racket they made, plus the sight of guys crashing their way through traffic, fantastic automotive biff. I will have to go to Barbagallo Raceway next time the circus is in Perth.

Only boring when il rosso cavallino non e' primo

[Joe Falcone]

bring back v12 please

The FIA narrowed F1 cars 10 < 15 years ago to encourage passing - about the same time as DRS was introduced.  Now the FIA have increased the width of F1cars.  Less passing is the outcome!
Plus cars are now generating an extra G while cornering.  Need to be very brave to pass in a corner now.  All things being equal you will hit the wall with 20% more energy!!!!

I don't blame the drivers for being a bit more cautious.  Still its early yet.  Lets wait and see mid season.

[lombardi]

More downforce now which means when following dirty air and that equals virtually impossible to overtake , unless if u are passing maybe a honda powered mclaren

[carlo rossi]

They are finally destroying F1 thats probably why Bernie sold to the americans
he sees that F1 is not viable in the future and he has probably made enough money out of it
so get out while the goings good
very sad

[Colin Edwards]

Bernie didn't sell to the Americans.  His employers CVC Capital Partners accepted an offer they couldn't refuse.  As a result, BCE finds himself to all intents and purposes out of a job.  Don't underestimate Carey, Bratches and Brawn.  All three have a decent score on the board. 

With regard to Ferrari winning the Melbourne GP, I'm not one of Seb's greatest fans but the tifosi singing Inno di Mameli on the main straight during the trophy presentation brought tears to my eyes!
