The first race of the season, thanks to the huge time difference now, is already decided. Were Hamilton and Rosberg (Mercedes), as expected, is indeed 1 second per lap faster than the competition?

And the first win goes to Nico Rosberg! At the start from P3, he picked up the lead and showed the rest of the field far behind. New on the stage is the Australian Daniel Ricciardo, who during the home game strongly codified and immediately the second place, managed to get hold of. Number three ended rookie Kevin Magnussen.

However, the hero of the day was Valtteri Bottas. He hit the wall, with a flat tire as a result, but he did this not from the field store. He fought back hard and came eventually to be the sixth over the finish line.

The new engines have a lot of difficulties. After all, the last time a turbo was used was in 1988; coincidentally, also in Australia. Sebastian Vettel had the race stop due to engine problems, and also Lewis Hamilton held just four rounds of. In addition, save Marcus Ericsson and all the cars of Lotus and Wagered it to the finish. Hopefully it was the GP of Australia, and in the way les and the teething problems for the next race in Malaysia.

Also, the voltage of the first race since the winter break was some too much. The start was one big chaos. Kamui Kobayashi braked too late and pulled Felipe Massa into the gravel. Also Hamilton and Vettel came in a laborious way, but we give their cars the debt.
