Exclamation Great Chinese GP - Don't open if watching delayed.

Mercedes power 1st, 2nd & 3rd in China. Mercedes GP, McLaren, McLaren.

First Mercedes GP win of the modern era - since 1955.

Rosberg, Button, Hamilton.

Hamilton leads the Championship.

Agreed it was a great race! Although I wish it hadn't come down to Button's blown pit stop in the end. But so it goes. Go Mercedes power (though I'm a McLaren fan).

That was a great race. The last 15 laps were incredible.

The 2nd through 10th place cars were all within seconds of each other. Great battles.

As much as I dislike Kimi with his flat brim douchiness, I was still kinda sad to see him plummet from 2nd to 14th when his tires went.

I'm a McLaren/Hamilton fan. Even if Jenson had a 3 second pitstop it's unlikely he would have won.

This is the first year in a longgggg time that I'm actually truly following F1. Too many years of boring races, no passing/fights, etc. This year is going to be a great one, with some real surprises (Grossjean, etc.) along with lots of racing action. Button is my guy, although I must admit seeing Schuey win would be kinda cool from a "old guy still has it" standpoint. Too bad about the wheel nut fiasco or else it would've been interesting.

+1^

What is great is to finally see F1 highly competitive over the top ten placings. Congrats to the Teams, FIA & Pirelli.

Indeed Grosjean & Perez etc. are a revelation.

I was lucky enough to catch it on SPEED because I stayed up for no reason that night.
Anyone know any good source I can watch and re watch races this season? in good quality too maybe
