Rather turned pre season testing on its head, everybody reckoned the Ferrari was on a par with the Merc . . . . unless the Merc engines were set to Morris Minor mode during testing

I know I've only watched the highlights but the coverage doesn't seem as good as previous.

Excellent result for Valteri, steady good drive.

Just watched it on the re run.
Nice to see Valterri getting a win at last after the disappointments of last year.
The extra point for fastest lap is going to mix things up a bit on those last laps

Have to agree with you.

Something was lacking in the race. I woke up to find I'd missed the last 20 laps or so.----------

Me too. Felt as though I was trying to drive faster but it was Celia prodding me at lap 28 with a cup of tea. Yawn. I had read quite a bit pre-race about design improvements that would allow more slip-streaming and faster overtaking. Must have missed that bit.
