On another note, I think/hope that RBR and Horner can calm the hell down now and stop being sorry losers

I heard one of the commentators at NBC had predicted Vettel would won. But given the trend since FP sessions. Ferrari was up there in Malaysia.

Heard Button retirement was due to ERS problems.

Button briefly flirted with the top ten before an Energy Recovery System (ERS) failure ended his race on lap 41. Team-mate Fernando Alonso had been as high as eighth before a similar issue forced him to stop at mid-distance.

Good, now the viewers that whine about Mercedes being too dominate can relax.

Now if only Mercedes has to make an extra pit stop every race, we will get more excitement.

Still would have been exciting, first pit stop was a few laps into the race, during a safety car. Hamilton came out in 6th, it didn't take him to long to get back to 2nd. Kimi had 3 stops and finished forth, even though he fell back towards the end.

I'm curious how well the Mercedes chassis looks after its tires when they are being chased down and actually have to push their car hard.

Tired of Kimi's bad luck

...3rd place was achievable yesterday.

Congrats to Seb and Ferrari, and to us the fans for watching something other than a Mercedes lockout! Here's hoping we get an exciting season
