"Formula One 2012 Season"

I've only really had time to create this now, even though we are already 3 races through the season.

But why not start after such a great race on Sunday? China hasn't disappointed us again and provided a fantastic race with plenty of thrills, spills and overtaking.

This is a track where DRS and Kers really come into their own. The corners and straights make perfect racing conditions and a lot of other tracks could learn from the layout.

It's also great to see so much movement at the top after Vettel's domination last year. There is no sign of a pattern or settling down of teams into a certain order (bar the unfortunate HRT team).

Schumacher is one of the key player of he is there on track. He knows & he is one the person which is really plays as a trump card for his team. But still there are many other which are getting experiences day by day.

Hoping Maria de Villota pulls through. Critically injured during an issue when testing the car for Marussia.

Woah.

Ferrari certainly got that strategy wrong, didn't they?

Hamilton just made that well worth watching those last few laps, a fantastic drive there. Such a pain for Button, though. Definitely should be looking at where the car is going wrong for him.

Good to see Perez on the podium too, after 15th!

Really bad timing: Fire broke out at Williams garage 90 mins or so after the race. 31 people treated. Frank Williams and the team were in the garage at the time, but were moved to safety.

Looks like Bruno Senna's car was destroyed (the one hit by Schumacher) and pretty much all the back of the garage.

Hope the team who got caught in the fire and smoke are ok, heard one had to be flown to hospital and rest were treated on site.

It's such a shame for a team who should all be celebrating the victory at the moment.

Schumacher was very ignorant. Senna pointed out that he himself was on old tyres and Schumacher had the ability to brake later on the fresher tyres. Schumacher should've slowed down. As was said at the time, the car behind is responsible if the car in front doesn't do anything unexpected. Senna followed the racing line and engaged the brakes at a suitable moment. Schumacher just carried on at full pelt. Felt sorry for Senna.

After seeming to redeem himself, Schumacher again shows ignorance with what was obviously his fault.

Great present for Frank Williams' 70th Birthday though!

What a great win by Maldonado. Raikkonen was ridiculous in the last laps as well. Schumacher looks like he's going to get penalised for that hit on the first corner. Looked pretty blatent to me.

Felt sorry for Hamilton and the decision sending him to the back, not his fault just a bad team decision in the moment about refuelling after the issue with the fuel rig.

But he's really done well to come back. Alonso is flying though.

pb you're a life saver. Keep intending to watch GP's when they come round and keep missing them!

Spanish GP starts in a few minutes. With the starting grid all over the place it's going to be a great race.
