    Kimi Raikkonen wins the first race of the year in Melbourne.

    Although Sebastian Vettel has won the championship 3 straight years and won the starting pole for today's race. Kimi Raikkonen starts 7th and wins the first race easily.

    Thoughts?

    I wish Ferrari would replace Massa with someone better. I don't know why they're so loyal to him. It's been way overdue that Ferrari regains their championship form again.

    I would like Ferrari to try and get someone new. Yeah he got pole 6 times 5 years ago, but barring the 2009 season, he's been mediocre IMO.

    Curious, who's your team?

    I like watching the back and forth battle between Ferrari and Red Bull, but Lewis Hamilton joining Rosberg makes Mercedes fun to watch as well.

    I have to admit though, Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen are my favorite drivers.

    Glad to see kimi and lotus win. This could be an interesting season especially with the tires

    Massa definitely lost it after his wreck but he seemed to be coming back strong at the end of last year and was strong this weekend.

    Are the mclarens that bad? Will sutil and force India be that good?

    Kimi Raikkonen seems to be having good good seasons back to back.

    Ferrari needs to up their defense and double team Raikkonen. Defense wins championships.

    Well McLaren won't be as great this year since Lewis Hamilton left the team for Mercedes to replace Schumacher.

    Sutil is back from a 2 year hiatus and looked great at Australia last week, not sure if he'll keep it up but it would be fun to see if he does. Hoping for a close finish this season just like last season.

    Also Lewis Hamilton screwed over Rosberg for 3rd place.

    F1 team battles are getting good. (Not those Nascar redneck slap fights)

    Lots of drama at the end of that one.

    And that chance taken by Ferrari and Alonso. Crazy.

    So basically a list of everyone who got the shaft in Malaysia:

    1. Fernando Alonso
    2. Mark Webber
    3. Nico Rosberg
    4. Force India
    5. Jenson Button

    TBF, Hamilton now finds himself in the perfect situation with a great mastermind in Ross Brawn and almost unlimited resources to develop a competitive car. Having old friend Rosberg around instead of the scheming Button also helps a lot.
