Good opening laps then a bit boring, probably fault of the track more than anything, glad to see Jenson win and thought Lewis drove a blinder with the equipment he had.

A decent race. Not boring but not a classic either. The opening 3 laps were brilliant though, I don't remember the last time I saw cars three abreast beyond the first corner! The track is just a bit too high speed for a bit too much to allow cars to bunch up close together and allow lots of overtaking.

Nice to see Piquet finish, by the way.

To be expected really from the low countries Come on Jenson & Brawn, got to be at least an 8 complete c**** up by Toyota, BMW 'where's the wood? even; Hamilton a good job done and those B***** Red Cars best place for them; 8 all round. I do agree with comment about the circuit BORING

I thought these new rules were supposed to promote overtaking. What we need is a new push to pass button which when pressed makes the KERS system on the car ahead give its driver an electric shock in the right leg causing him to momentarily lift off !

Interestingly Barrichello was alleged to have a 'boost button' on his Brawn,which kind of makes you wonder how much they were holding back!

The new regs are working well. Bahrain just isn't the best circuit. In fact, in comparison to previous Bahrain GPs I'd go so far as to say this one was action packed"!

Steve Matchett from Speed TV was saying (if I heard him correctly) that Brawn might allow the driver to use slightly higher revs for a certain amount of time during the race giving the impression that they have push to pass..

Brawn's "Push to Pass" is only in the form of their engine rev limiter though. Because Jenson and Rubens had been having cooling problems all weekend they had to have their revs turned down so they didn't explode. But when fighting to overtake people they were allowed to turn the revs up for a few minutes in order to get back that critical bit of power.
