    I hope he will returns in Ferrari one day! He's a great man and he's also a swindler: two necessary things in F1 today.

    However, I hope Ecclestone will retire soon because every year there is no more competition but only a super-team which slaughters all others.

    Wow what a race that was! Just goes to show how competitive F1 will be in the near future once everyone finally catches the Mercedes. And I'm gutted for Perez (and Massa), had an excellent race but glad they're OK after that crash.

    Massa's accident was strange. And Rosberg's fight with his Mercedes was heroic, managing to steer the car to second place.

    Props to Ricciardo for his first win!

    During the race the Sky F1 coverage had some radio communication from Rosberg (before they hit problems) where he asked what brake bias Hamilton was using - the answer was that Rosberg had the bias set further forward. It may have been that which helped as the rear brakes were 'worked less'.

    It seems that if the energy recovery systems fail it results in less brake peformance from the rear (as the energy is not being recovered and 'helping' the braking). This along with smaller rear brakes than last year (increased energy recovery from the rear) means even more is expected from the rear brakes. A number of teams experienced problems.

    I don't know if it's been explained how it happened but the Mercedes was down about 160bhp but still managed to make it to second place.

    The accident between Massa and Perez was caused by Perez moving around under braking - apparently he was experiencing brake problems and had been for some time. The accident was investigated after the race and Perez will get a grid penalty for the next race. Vettel was very lucky to not be hit by Massa - I think Vettel had to avoid the oncoming Williams.

    Max Chilton was found to be at fault for hitting his team mate and put both cars out. Chilton will also have a grid penalty in the next race although starting from near the back may mean that he has to start from the pit lane.

    It's always special when a driver wins his first race, and to win it in the fashion that he did from 6th on the grid. That pass on Perez for 2nd place was awesome

    What a nasty accident for Jules Bianci

    He went off under yellow flags and hit the side of the recovery vehicle for Adrian Sutil's Sauber.

    The green flag you see in the background is after the accident scene not in front of it.

    He is in a critical but stable condition

    It's less than a month away from the start of the F1 2016 season. I've started to get hyped.

    Shame that Mercedes will walk away with the titles again though.....
