Tires will be key early on. He had alot of graining on the soft.

Hopefully it will be Hamilton.

Pace on the mediums will be everything. Those softs will be gone early and that change to mediums will be key. No rain for the race is what is being called now!

DLo · 03-17-2013, 02:43 AM

Rain will throw a massive monkey wrench into this race!

Great race. Kimi was amazing and that car, Lotus is very easy on its tires. The fact that he back'd off then set a fast lap late is bad news for the others.

Nice race! Now... On Sunday.... boring left turn racing...500 laps....snore!!

Actually, I think I've figured out what this silly NASCAR race is the same as... watching rush hour traffic that goes around in circles.

I watched the race yesterday and it was clear the Kimi had an ace up his sleeve, pulled his quckest lap right before the end to open the gap on Fernando who until then had been closing .... a pleasant gesture from one driver to another - a bit like a 1-fingered salute ... Fernando backed off a few 10ths after that.

Poor old Mark Webber simply cannot get the car off the line ......... starts from pitlane after put stop just fine ....

DLo · 03-18-2013, 12:18 AM

Excellent start to the season. Should be interesting!

Someone please explain why Mark cannot start to save his arse. Its let him down and cost him more points/wins than any driver alive. Unreal!

No one was thinking it would be a Kimi win to start the year off!

I'm just upset I fell asleep on lap 10. This weekend I'm going to go to bed around 9pm on Saturday night and wake up at 3am to watch Malaysia.

I had no problem staying up to ~1:30 AM for Australia but a few laps in I was zonked and had to go to bed. Lesson learned.

Nice write up from the BBC and David Coulthard-

BBC Sport - Kimi Raikkonen might be the right man in the right car this season
