I got crapped on a few years back on the forum - hence the warning.

Mercedes had the two fastest car of the day and seems like they address the tire wear issue from previous two rounds and they couldve come 1-2. I'm still pissed that the jack-man released Schuey's car early before the wheel guy torque the right front wheel.

I don't follow racing, but anytime a manufacturer dominates the podium it's a really great achievement! Way to go MB and McLaren!

Yeah, the Mercedes powered cars seem to be the fastest (straight line wise) this year. But it looks like it is going to be a very competitive year for many teams.
Very cool for Nico Rosberg! Anyone else see Schumacher smiling and giving the thumbs up at the end when Nico won? That is one of the things that I love about MS, he really takes things in stride and can just be happy for his teammate, even when the race was so disappointing for him. The consummate professional. Of course, I suppose when you are the only 7 time world champ, you can afford to be relaxed, lol.

Yes, Nico Rosberg took first for MB. Second and third were the McLaren Mercedes, which are powered by MB engines. Schumacher had to drop out because the pit crew released it before one of the wheels was tightened properly.

This is sure turning out to be a competitive season. It seems anyone can win this year. Maldinado, Perez, Senna, and Kobiashi are all doing well. Looks like Schumi might even be able to add to his win record. Anyone going to Austin this year?
