It was just a matter of time one can say. Sabastian Vettle should have his 3rd win at this point but after suffering from a spark plug failure and a caliper failure that that robbed him from wins in Bahrain and Austraiala. Qualifying 3rd and jumping into first place in turn one he never looked back with another dominant drive. The rest of the race i will say was great as there was great over takings by Hamilton Massa and Alonso. but on lap 55 Alonso who was already suffering from a down shift issue had his engine let go. This is not a good sign as Both Saubur cars who also had engine failures.

My first visit to your blog...pretty cool. I guess Ferrari is down playing the engine problems even though they did engine swaps in Bahrain before the race after discovering "slight reading abnormalities."
Should be interesting how this progresses.
