Great way to write it up.
Fernando bobbing this side and that, Lewis checking his mirrors as he stood on the brakes for the Turn 14 hairpin, 200mph down to 60mph in just 3s at a peak of 6.4g, Brembo discs glowing orange. And he was still ahead.

Yes, I am happy about Ferrari, Fernando and Masa.

Also I am glad to see that Lewis was not wrong about choosing to go to Mercedes.

I am not sure Kimi would be tolerant with all the Vettel/Marko BS that happens at Red Bull.
I think Lotus have done a good job in giving him enough freedom for Kimi still to be Kimi, that I don't think he would get at RedBull, not to mention, I think Lotus have given him a "good enough" car not to be swayed.

Ferrari are looking good this year - great to have Alonso in a car that wasn't entered in a soap box derby. Even Massa looks competitive!
It will be interesting if Mercedes can improve their race pace, in qualifying, they look as strong as the Red Bulls. Hamilton defiantly looks like he made the right move, Mercedes being quick isn't overly surprising, but McLaren being so slow is...

So. Honda are back with McLaren for 2015.

I hope it will be red and white

Was not a bad race in Canada. Vettel unfortunately couldn't be touched, but some good racing behind him!
