Martin Brundle has just said that RedBull, Ferrari and Mercedes have the same pace.

How can someone with so much experience in F1 not see what is smacking him in the face?

I think Grosjean did very well to sabotage the race and help his dear friend. He could have parked his car at a better place where there is a service road.

So 3 drs zones x 50 laps and what, 2/3 overtakes? That’s even worse stats than Monaco.

The Aussies can have their race but please move it to mount Panorama.

That was a lucky win, because here at Albert Park is very difficult to pass. On a normal track it would have been HAM-VET-RIC, or maybe even HAM-RIC-VET. Ferrari looked very slow on Soft tyres.

Vettel said to the radio something like "Good win, good strategy, we have a lot of work to do"

Yeah i know . Then a few mins later he said "but in clean air he was 7 tenths faster on older tyres"

Thats not the same pace Martin #-o

Was that the condition on which Ferrari sold their last year's car to Haas, that they would come into play whenever Ferrari needs them? Aka... Singapore 2008!!!

Can others join with me and report the obvious troll?
No need really, I think it's worth watching him completely embarrass himself with Ludacris statements.

Well, sure looks like a 'great racemanship' win to Team Ferrari..

Ok now.. so one Haas-Ferrari failing due to a stupid pit stop is odd enough, but two ( & the 2nd, crucially),
is IMO
- suspicious..

Team AMG-Mercedes were caught flatfooted, & failed to respond in kind, a bit like it was 80 years ago..
"Arrogance to the point of stupidity" as a Brit put it, perhaps, not utilizing Bottas/Team India to 'play the game' too..
"Well, we knocked the bastard off!"

(& 1st to do a surface traverse across Antarctica,
in good Kiwi style - riding a Massey Ferguson farm
tractor - with a few extemporised mod's to hack the task).

vettel was lucky but he is also unlucky that he has to qualify and race against a superior package

lewis is the one who cant win the race with a better car, my recommendation is make most of your car and build a 10 second lead

First of all guys Chene is a "she" and not a "he".Not that it makes any difference...Trolls are all the same either male or female! In their world Vettel was the super master today and won on pure pace alone! =D>

This race was a joke.
Haas is a great investment for the Ferrari. Altough they have to give them some wheel nuts

If your in a marathon and the guy in front is faster, would you really be proud if you won by getting in a car for half a mile of the marathon?

That's essentially what happened.
I would be proud because the faster guy was faster because of his prototype Adidas running shoes whereas I am running with something from the Walmart discount section. Major difference in the scenario.
