The little dome just ahead of the halo centre upright is a 360 camera. Be interesting to see what they get from those. I think it'll be post-race though because they've been having trouble getting HD 360 footage to stream in real time from a moving car all round the track.

OMG Haas, what a balls up, gutted for them.
Interesting how the VS works when you pit, it's not the first time some have gained when pitting (F1, GP2/3 & WEC) . If that's the case then I think they need to review how it's implemented. Makes for an interesting race now.

Not sure the Orange & Blue car is that quick, could see he was holding up those behind as Albert Park isn't a good circuit for passing. But still good to see Alonso up the pointy end.

Yep Dan got Fastest lap.

Enjoyed the result of the race even if it was a little boring in terms of the cars being able to fight each other and pass. Was pretty funny to have Hamilton eat his own words from Saturdays post qualy press conference.

Its never a good look when the bloke challenging in 2nd has to say to his team, can I push now?
The engine limits have always sucked but limiting them to 3 is going to be a bane on this years championships.

I was just thinking the same this morning, how stupid does the meca of motorsport look if the guy in 2nd at the first race of the season has to back off cause he needs to preserve a power-plant. :(

Please remember the rules are selected with the thought that they are achievable.

Looking back it would seem as a whole they were correct. Some rules took longer than others to achieve.

Only the cretins in charge of F1 could come up with regulations that produce premium bespoke racing cars that cannot fucking race!
