To be fair, the trophies looked rubbish. Not a fan of them looking like a sponsors logo.

The trophies for the Australian GP are the best ones.

He'll probably wish he was back at McLaren to get a copy of it that'll probably be of better quality.

He got the whole big golden trophy afterwards...you do know that, right?

Sexy looking thing.

The trophy I mean.

Rohan, stop trying to high-five me.

Interesting what Lauda was saying about not fixing the barrier.

Pretty rich coming from him...

[RevolvingPrawn 1]

That's more like it! That's a real trophy :)

He was saying only the bottom 2 pieces were damaged, when a car hits those it's call decapitation.

[f1since08 60]

Has anyone got a Chilton onboard for the tyre?

Why wasn't the proper trophy just given out on the podium?

Media commitment's finished?

Interesting race you had with Alonso, and beaten by your teammate again ;)

Sponsors?

Ow yeah, before I forget: Lewis with that golden trophy, wouldn't that be a nice avatar for you Seb? :P ;)

Anyone with Sky:

Is it true the Merc engine finally hit the rev limiter?

[Lukedfrt 91]

Funny seeing the Vettel & Alonso interviews after the race, they both had a massive grin when talking about the radio messages. :P

Well yeah, Rosberg failed to upshift before he retired.

Doesn't mean he hit the 15K RPM limit, some teams drop the engines down a bit. The onboard graphic went off before he got stuck in 5th.

The Williams looked mighty, second best car on the grid?

I hope so. Red Bull still look pretty strong but I'd like to think Williams are a little faster than them. Gonna have to wait a few races though and see if they can keep this up before saying for sure.

They have been fast all year, but they have finally gotten over the tyre issues.

Whoever decides Vettel's tyre strategy needs to be fired immediately.

Great race though, the Alonso-Vettel battle without the complaining was good, didn't even realise they'd be complaining until I watched some stuff on Sky. 

The noise the fans made when Hamilton came round the last corner was insane, great atmosphere, and it was nice to see Lewis win, even though I am not his biggest fan.

Interesting you say that about the noise. I've watched the 2008 race and you could hear the noise over the loud V8s, yet this time the crowd could be heard over the V6s just as much. As the V6s are quieter, the crowd weren't as loud :(
