And Marussia is not even in dead last. That is a lot of currency for "0" points through four races which includes:Lotus/Renault, Sauber/Ferrari, Marussia/Ferrari and Caterham/Renault.

I was pleased to see Alonzo wring out his Ferrari to make the podium. It did look like Riccardo may have eaten him up given enough laps. That guy is going to be a champion, sooner or later. He is unflappable and driving skills to match most anyone.
Sad about Kimmi. I hope he is OK, normally he will get 99% out of any car he is driving.
Vettel is not so great unless he is driving a dominant car is seems.

It will be an interesting race. One red car looked good in China, will be interesting if they are more competitive in Spain. I hope so.
I'm not sure if anything will catch Lewis this year though, seems like it will be his championship to lose.

Rossberg? I wouldn't count him out. I know that Lewis is looking good right now but I don't wish him well because he seems [like Vettel] to have a sense of entitlement and sort of a whiney attitude when he loses.
As Tim alluded to, most cars will be coming out with significant updates after the break so that might shake up the field. None of the competitors have been kicking back waiting so we could be in for surprises at every level. Personally I hope that Ferrari has come up with something great. I really hate to see Kimmi so far back, and I would bet that it is not all his fault. He can usually extract whatever performance that his car is capable of, as is his team mate!
The old Ferrari boss quitting is pretty sad. Did he think F1 racing was easy? I hope that it has no negative effect on the team.
