first race finally behind us and I must admit that, despite some shortcomings it was a pretty successful launch of the season. In some respects it seemed as if though experienced a small d Eja vu from Abu Dhabi 2010: winner Vettel, Hamilton second, a bit more reliable trio of Petrov-Webber-Alonso, Massa bit helpless (though still better than in November, but more on that later), Schumi smashing a right at the beginning of the race (this time survived on the track longer, but the checkered flag, and so saw no more than the side) ...

uskutecznianych Despite scuffles here and there, failures and tragedies Bernd Mayländer stayed the whole weekend actually unemployed. The weather also decided to be merciful on Sunday, so were some great surprises. DRS and KERS passed the half, that has enabled DRS in a few moments to catch up with the driver in front, while the KERS allowed to prevent an attempted attack. In a word, the effectiveness of the systems are more or less compensated for each other, which does not mean, however, that there was no fight. Duels were fought and in fact ended in successful attempts to advance, and not necessarily using the most recent news, is another matter. With more visible signs of the effectiveness of the maneuver should be noted DRSu lead by Felipe Massa Jenson Button (the latter - in accordance with the provisions), except that most of the battles was fought using traditional skills in conducting vehicle. And since these are not lacking in F1, so I was in total to look at. In a word, the guys do not have too much bother, and already about the pageantry endeavor. The best way to fight: to throw some of the leading drivers in the fighting mood of the middle rate (which fell on Fernando and Jenson), and just soak up the frantic chase.
But I do know that, and so there will be malcontents, who again looked for a greater number of shares and overtaking in the pit stops than on a track (ok well I hope to fight with Webber and Alonso disappointed up, with Fernando was before Marc by getting stopowi pit), but do not exaggerate - it was worth to get up in the morning.
Also gentlemen acquitted themselves well Pirelli, improving tire, which contrary to the fears withstood more than could be expected after the winter testing. Thus we did not have a lottery.

Now, traditionally - A summary of the five leading teams starts with the award of points for race drivers, a little sake of accuracy statistics, distribution of traditional awards and perhaps even a few words at the end.
Renault
Race: PET 1-0 HEI
Result: 1-0 PET HEI
alone I do not know what was more surprising: awkwardness or poradność Heidfeld Petrov? The fact fact - went the other way around than could be expected. Nick reportedly has problems with KERS - would they have been serious, because it does not look like, Heidfeld is a decent driver, whom the release of the Q1 without some really good explanation for not fitting nohow. The race was not much better, but Nick made his way from place to place 18 in 1912 (after the disqualification of drivers Sauber) is a scored race at least mediocre and colorless. Whatever the reason for this state of affairs (the pressure on Heidfeld, the lack of pressure on Petrova?), The results of Renault, in relation to preseason predictions, were reversed . Anyway - cheers to Vitaly for the perfect race. Indeed, not once was under pressure and no one pressured, so the opportunity to make mistakes was not so much, but last season it is known that Petrov does not need much to land on the bar. Thus, hands down.

If the tendency of drivers such results continues, I very much (but it very much!), Please to replace Nick Bruno Senna. Call me sentimental, but I want to see on the track helmet TEN THIS car.
Petrova After the great result immediately raised the voices Kubica what he would do if the other car was driving the Renault? How to fight the Kubica to win! Maybe true, maybe not (preferably the latter). Kubica, however, unfortunately, no, we all regret. And that gdybanie what would happen if it is not very productive and does not lead to anything, so I I will refrain from it.
Mercedes
Race: ROS 1-0 MSC
Result: 1-0 MSC ROS
first qualified, first race, about anything not to be prejudged. But ... Schumi had a fight, had to be like for his good old years. And I like a fool still naively believe in it. In qualifying, Michael, unfortunately, a little disappointed, a collision on the first lap did not allow see whether the race would be better. Nico in turn drove neatly, but without flash. It is unfortunate that only half the distance courtesy of Rubens. Maybe Rubens wrong cars, because Michael has excelled at? Sam explained should be quite vague. That kind of does not intend to overtake Nico! Location! And this is probably the KERS him there by accident ... turned
Even if we assume that both Mercedes did not arrive to the finish no fault of their own concern remains: the team had to fight for the highest goals, and yet (contrary to previous announcements) definitely lacks speed. In times of economic crisis, when the big companies withdraw from this very expensive and eccentric fun that is the F1 stewards in Stuttgart may eventually lose patience and turn off the spigot of cash. Last season was supposed to be at the end of the sign, preparing to attack next season. Another season has come, and the Mercedes is still more prepared than dazzles. But let's not immediately in czarnowidztwo - improvements sure to come, and even strategic mind of Ross Brawn (when the racing strategies could prove essential) combined with feedbackiem Michael can give positive results.
Red Bull
Race: 1-0 WEB VET
Result: 1-0 VET WEB
Before the race we had a little confusion with redbullowym KERSsem - that is a mini version that loaded only once before the start in the garage and that such a thing is probably not the end of KERS. Later I learned that Red Bull with KERS in general did not benefit, because he had problems with it simply feels like Andrew said, the nature reliability.
O performance is not Vettel Needless to say nothing - deklasacja on Saturday, the total control of the situation on the track on Sunday, accuracy, speed (ahead of Button as a wagon) and (something new) - self-control. Wild shouts and screams replaced the calm and confidence worthy of a champion. I hope that these features will not become in arrogance. Minus is that the finger remained.
Mark, in turn, began the season as the previous ended, or drowsy. Hand probably already healed, and even no one ever heard of Webber's case, any further, so that is free to look for an explanation. Lest there be - I really like Webber, but if he is already after the first race przebąkuje something that does not know why his car is traveling at a second slower than the same car, in theory, Sebastian, I do not know at what arguments will be a few months ... Of course, the immortal is back, the argument that this is only the first race of the season, but Webber has, and it is necessary, find the speed and challenge Vettel. Otherwise there will be pink.
Image of the paddock: Webber zaintrygowaniem watching after qualifying in the car front wing Vettel. Mark ... too early - wings swap does not occur until later in the season ...
As for the car RB7, I have only one request (or, rather, one of two): either let the rest of the bit rate podgoni, or let the car will be just as fragile and prone to breakdowns, which virtually all previous cars designed by Adrian Newey . Maybe I do not drink Red Bull and I do not like something extra for this team, anyway, if they are the fastest for the rest of the season (and it would happen to him), let him win the title. Me as a viewer, it's just emotions, and the best guarantee uniform fight to the finish of the season. So please, any shortcomings of this gem, which should allow competition adjusted to establish the fight, and we - the audience - was saved from boredom and predictability.
McLaren
Race: HAM 1-0 BUT
Score: HAM 1 -0 BUT
McLaren podgonił and beautifully turned out, contrary to expectations, the greatest strength among a strong group chases. Hamilton drove superbly and with his head. Praise him for handing over a broken car to the finish line in second place.
Button? Oh boy was today in zadziornym humor. But it's great - I really liked it! A little, traditionally, ponarzekał after the race that the world is evil, and he felt Ferrari pulling out of spite for Massa pit stop just when he had to give a Brazilian position (after not quite legitimate overtaking) * , but such was his English charm that always has to complain a little. Jenson pokpił matter a bit at the start, giving a gift Pietrowowi and giving no Alonso (And even taking away his opportunity to a good start), then again every bit narozrabiał with Massa, but this advantage is that it rode very aggressively - just do not like it, but it's wrong. We know in the end, that nice guys are not the masters, and even girls, mothers caring for anger, ruffians love the most.

* probably never know how much truth in this, But the fact is that just after passing Massa nieprzepisowym by Jenson: a) Felipe was immediately overtaken by Alonso (by which Button had wanted to step down Massie, he would have to give up and stay ahead of Alonso, which probably was not planned), b) Massa disappeared in the pits (though it is only 2 wheels on when Jenson had just completed confer with the team), so the position there was no one to cast (and all together leaving no choice but stewards Button to send the criminal ride.) Anyway, Massa's tires were then already rather poor, so pit stop however, was necessary. And even if it was deliberate and nasty lick Ferrari, I must admit that it complies with the provisions and for that very clever.
Ferrari
Race: 1-0 MAS ALO
Result: 1-0 MAS ALO
Ferraris today was my biggest disappointment. They had to be a leading force alongside Red Bull, turned out to be at least (as per your standards) average. On Saturday the team had trouble warming up the tires hard, forcing them to use the already soft in Q1, and nearly cost Felipe promotion to Q2. A strategy for three pit stops was probably (in view of the expected excess degradation of tires) a bit possessive and asekurancka, at least in relation to Fernando dictated by circumstances. I do not know how much of a smokescreen and make good faces, and how much truth, but I think it was possible to Marc Gené drove with two changes, but unfortunately the confusion at the first corner that forced Fernando to unplanned and excessive overtaking caused the same time large enough to destroy tires that had to be replaced 3 times. I hope that's true, because the number of kilometers they both drivers in winter testing, would be foolish if it turned out that the gentlemen of the worst work out the Maranello tires and have the car most zżerający them ... But the damage to these pit stops, because even the very best result on Saturday, Fernando (with 2 changes) would have a chance to fight for a third or even second place. Fourth, however, it is not bad - as he himself admits Alonso - has apparently not here in the patent, because in the last 4 years for the third time the race ends at this place.
Fernando started pretty normal, unfortunately, encountered a moment later, Jenson Button. And as we know from last season only, the two have to each other weakness in starts and must always be in some wrangling, sometimes expensive, go into, as soon as they are next to each other (Australia, Italy, Japan, Abu Dhabi). It can therefore be expected that this time they hit it off. As a result, Fernando first came on the roadside, and then to place 10th However, as the frantic races is pretty seasoned (first half of last season bows) So you could count on him. Quickly managed to handle the Kobayashi and Rosberg, then go to Massa, by including a really pleasant and nice aesthetically race (especially considering the position on the first lap). My weakness for the duo Fer-Fer (Fernando-Ferrari) leads me to believe that if the race had a few more laps, Alonso dopadłby and Petrov.

Felipe unfortunately a bit disappointed again and it was only a shadow of his colleague. After considering all the shoulders on Friday and Saturday, Massa, Button, use the gift, on Sunday, scored a very good start and then even fought a great defensive battle with Button, and then ... unfortunately, probably came to the fore this year's excuse Massy (apparently borrowed from last year from Jenson), a lack of adhesion , which contributed to an ever weaker driving a small Felipe.
Massa starts the moment so more or less where it ended a year ago, that is not the best position. Nevertheless, and despite everything, I believe that to improve and collect together into a pile.
Interestingly, I noticed that some people already thought to be any team orders at Ferrari. Finally, Massa was informed that his brakes overheat, and shortly after it overtook Alonso. My theory looks like this - Massa fought with Button, and that where two are fighting the third one, so Alonso used the wool-gathering Massy (after the Brazilian's foul expired Button) and it quickly jumped in front of him. This is the rate at which Alonso was withdrawn from Massy testifies to the fact that Felipe really had problems.
I'm waiting for that for 2 weeks will be better.
Besides did a great rookies - as Paul di Resta and Sergio Pérez (Maldonado had a little more luck.) Until I regret that both cars were disqualified Sauber because of the incompatibility of the rear wing regulations.
Wisdom of Life Andrzej Borowczyk : this weekend with quotes wiekopomnymi was somehow bad, although it should be noted zeal with which Andrew started talking about Nicole S. and Jessica M. in the studio after qualifying (well, at last asked him about something interesting, not just racing, and racing!). In addition, one must also pay attention to the persistence Andrew in confusion some drivers: Massa again, and so was Alonso on the first lap (which is significant, I remember years ago, also in Australia, Andrew was convinced that it is standing back to Massa direction, and Alonso goes through to the front, while it was the exact opposite.) Also, a large inscription Hamilton and yellow helmet on the screen do not help much, when Andrew tells viewers that Jenson is a fine passage, while Hamilton is changing the tire. Maybe he thought about Nicole and paid no attention to such details?
Prize. Rob Smedley to talk radio this week especially not admit to the world simply because it was not candidates (or at least we have not heard). Lewis does not instructed the team, Fernando did not rage, Sebastian is not wkurzał Rob Smedley and even seemed eager to instruct Felipe, how come the corners. In a word drought. I wish I had a problem in Malaysia harvest ;-).
