        Im loving this season so far!

        As much as id love to see a Williams Renault win, it just aint gonna happen! My money will still be on Vettle tonight, The fact he didnt complete a timed lap will allow a greater choice of strategy and tyre choice for the race.

                Congratz to P. Maldonado and the Williams team. This season just may be the best one ever.

                  haha famous last words!

                  So glad to see a Williams Renault winner again, Maldonado drove like a boss all race! Hopefully they can use the momentum from this win for further success this season (thats if their garage doesnt catch fire again)

                    Now we are off to Monaco, where the best drivers traditionally do well regardless of car. It should be very interesting, and difficult for the oddsmakers. I would dearly love to see Williams and Lotus continue to do well whilst Vettel and McLaren struggle, but anyways, this parity is awesome.

                      Great race but tires are playing way to big of a role imho. Also, the ferrari is no dog. Yes alonso is driving well, but it is pretty clear massa is way under performing, rather then the car being bad. Watching alonso his knuckles are pretty damned steady, not like he is fighting the car. Very pissed Schumi went out, even more pissed he got a 5 spot penalty for monanco. Senna clearly flinched left then moved right.... Pastor drove a flawless race and the williams team did a pretty good job, one reasonably slow stop but overall they performed well espc considering the pressure.

                      McLaren wtf. Never seen a team give away so many points....confounding

                        What a great race, and awesome to see Williams on the podium after so long, and to top it off... On Franks 70th b-day. Even sauber is finishing pretty consistently this season. On a lesser note, I have always been a fan of massa, but it's apparent he's done, as said above, the Ferrari has pace, it's Phil who doesn't.

                        Anyone else acquiring a taste for the stepped nose?? Its kind of grown on me.

                          explosion/fire in williams garage, several mechanics hurt. Damn shame to put a cloud over their victory.

                            I would have loved to see 1&2 take a pit stop or fall off at the last second. Kimi and Grosjean both deserve wins with the way they have been performing. Also, Vettel looked strong overall; take away a drive through and a nose change and he would have been in it.

                            And I hate to say it, but Alonso is growing on me. Solid performances, and he keeps a positive attitude outside of the race.

                              I just had to stop in here because I got around to watching Spain today, and I just have to say how fucking happy I am that:

                              1. Williams won (because 9 years is too long).

                              2. McLaren didn't have any 20 second pit stops.
