So - the poll is always fairly pointless, but a decent conversation gets started so...

For me - everyone was great - seriously - if points are awarded for entertainment, then every driver up and down the field deserves some.

Rosberg - imperious drive - congrats to him and a long time coming.

Button - for me he probably would have been 2nd anyway (without the unfortunate pitstop), but he had to work for it - well done.

Hamilton - some great passing moves and got his car to a very respectable 3rd considering his grid drop.

Webber - nice to see there's still some life in the old dog - still don't think he deserves the Red Bull seat, but perhaps they're coming down to his standard this year.

Vettel - so he got overtaken at the end there, but that's to be expected on his strategy - still a good performance from 11th.

Grosjean through to Perez - these 6 boys were on it! Fantastic racing from everyone - an absolute joy to watch.

Extra - well done to Grosjean and the Williams boys good to see them up there.

Shame Sauber didn't run bettter strategies, but hey, I think they were trying to do something different and for a time it seemed like a good idea.

Shame for Kimi too - but his team mate showed where the Lotus can be.

Extra extra - three races in and we've had three different drivers winning. Not only that, but 3 different teams winning too. Brilliant stuff.

EDIT - and none have been red bulls!

Great race to watch. Rosberg was in a class of his own. I don't think Michael would have been able to compete with him had he stayed in the race, but it would of made the end of the race even more exciting than it already was.

It was good to see that DRS didn't appear to make the overtaking a foregone conclusion as we have seen in many races last season. The drivers still had to work for the pass.

Pirrelli doing a very good job with the tyre choice. No one knows, until the race is underway, which car is going to get the tyres working given the track conditions and the weather. And even then it can change in the blink of an eye.

I thought Vettel did a good race to get himself back into contention after his start. Webber had a blinder as well.

Good fun all round. Now it's on to Bahrain. I already do not like the atmosphere of that race even from this distant location. The track itself is has no history of producing good races, let hope that changes at least. Let's hope there are no casualties or worse that can be attributed to the arrival of the circus and the fact that the race is going ahead. If that is not the case then F1 will have placed itself into and international political storm that could and should have been avoided. Bernie maybe a great salesman and loves making deals, but when it comes to politics he's a complete novice and way out of his depth.

The objective is to win the race.

Rosberg completed the objective.

Everyone else failed.

Voted all of them (yeah, even Massa) except the Force Indias...and that is mostly because I didn't pay attention to them (usually happens, don't know why).

Plus Schumi and Kimi and Vergne. Everybody else flew under my radar.

Curiously enough, one of the most underperforming (compared to the expectations) was Alonso But hey, we expect so much more from him than from Grosjean

My only regret is that the remaining of the season will probably not be as entertaining as this race.

Did I just gave Britney a DoD? I feel so dirty...

Don't be so sure. I remember after an intense night of passion, my wife said I would never be able to match that again. Well, I never did.

But the point is, there will probably be races just as exciting, if not more.

So glad I used that example to not back up my argument.
