Absolutley amzazed that Button finshed ahead of Hamilton both driving for the same team :shock: I always thought Lewis was by far the better driver but Jenson showed some true skills yesterday both in terms of decisions and driving ability....

I think Hamilton showed more driving skill in the race. Jensen basically made a brilliant/flukey call right at the start, and drove solidly until the end. Credit to him, but Lewis had to really scrap his way up through the positions, managed to overtake Jensen at the start, and would probably have come second had it not been for a bad call by his team.

Although the race was much more exciting than Bahrain, Hamilton's scenario at the end still doesn't bode well for the rest of the season: he was going nearly two seconds per lap faster than Alonso with his new tyres, but still couldn't get past him. He, his team, and everyone else will have learnt from that, that caution is the name of the game, and that it's very seldom worth making any unnecessary pit-stops.

Exactly how I saw it too. Hamilton stuck behind Alonso despite being almost 2s/lap quicker, and Schumacher behind Alguesauri (sp??) for almost half the race concluded for me that if it wasn't for the rain/damp conditions that the Aus GP would have been just as bad as the Bahrain one...

Because of my working hours I wasn't able to put my updates for Australia in and I'll probably forget for Malaysia too!

What has everyone predicted for the Chinese GP? I've gone for Red Bull dominance again.

No one has I don't think. They also haven't been sending out e-mail reminders for pick selections so not sure what is going on with them :?

Bizzarely, the one week I don't actively pick anything for this is the week I do the best in so far. If only I could do the same every week...

I hope Schumacher gets his position back on appeal, because if he does then I'll have got 9 out of the top 10 right!
