Thank god I didn't wake up at 09:30 to watch the race. When I switched on the Telly at 11:30 I was stunned to see that only 23 laps had been completed and that the race was at a stand still. Boredom x 10. At lest Mclaren got some points, but they must be kicking themselves in the foot for the points lost for Melbourne.

I'm getting sick of Brawn GP....

Something can not be right.

Poll position for two races and two wins?

Haha trust me, I'm sick too. With Ferrari and Mclaren at the bottom I have little interest in F1 right now. This weekend was the first time in ages that I didn't care for F1.

I feel the same, there no point in watching it if we know Brawn GP will always have the lead.

Nothing exciting (turns tv channel)

My problem is the lack of excitement in the form of competition. Button is a skilled driver but Rubbens, Trulli and Glock are not good but not great. Right now it feels like I'm watching GP2 or something.

Actually, 31 laps were completed

True, none of the top drivers have any real shot (excluding a freak show) until at least Spain, and that's best case scenario.

I really can't see much changing in Spain. Sure they fiddle with the car here and there and perhaps install a new diffuser but they will still lag behind Brawn, Toyota and Williams in performance. The MP24 and F2009 are very premature compared with Brawn's car which began development in early 2008. Changing the diffuser is a major technical task and affect the entire balance of the car potentially resulting in poorer performance, especially with no in-season testing.

There is no possibilities for the rest of the teams in making giant leaps forward. We can all see how much Ferrari and Mclaren are struggling at the moment. It's really that bad, and not until next year will the order be fully restored. If the current hierarchy remain until the summer, Mclaren and Ferrari might be better off starting work on the 2010 car to regain their positions.
