Angry I woke up this morning at 6am and there was no racing

It's on CBS right now. How dumb, why delay it six hours when we already know that Kimi went out on the 10th lap and Alonso won.

Yeah, but I can't believe how MS charged from the middle of the pack to the front. That was totally unexpected. This isn't gonna be easy for Renault.

McLaren needs to sort out their reliability problems. The car is fast, now it just needs to stay fast. OVP musta failed

I'm glad to see the F1 on CBS though, a few of our workers/nascarfans are starting to talk about F1 instead of NASScar on the job sites.

I went looking for the race on the on-screen TV schedule..... never showed up. CBS? 6 hours later? I remember when the Indy 500 and Daytona 500 were tape-delayed.... 30 years ago! Get with the program! Life is not always in primetime!

Looks as if Ferrari is starting to get 'in gear'. Should be an interesting season. The Ferrari was significantly faster than the Renault towards the end. Alonso held off the faster car for at least 8 laps. Needless to say I am a big Ferrari and Mercedes fan.

I saw the race also. I didn't think Alonso could hold off MS for that many laps. Alonso has won his third race and maybe on his way to the championship this season.

Montoya Injury

During the race the announcers were talking about Montoya's injury. I thought I heard he was injured playing tennis while on a motorcycle. This sounds bazaar, I know, but that is what I heard the announcers say.
