I think Webber will want to call it quits at the end of the year of he doesn't win (maybe even if he does!) or at least place very close to the eventual winner (from a point perspective). As you say Tommo, RBR may very well want him to stick around... but looking at RIC and VER's quali results today (even though it's early days of course) you'd think that they may feel that one of them will be able to take his place by years end of he wants to call it quits.

I agree we can now see what Ricciardo is made of, I hope that he shines this season! Started of the opening qualy well

Missed qualifying so I don't know all the details (apart from the F1 article) but as above good on Ricciardo for top ten.

Ferrari 12th and 16th....wow.

Well run by Ricciardo. Interviewed well after the race too.

Good race. Lots of significant passing in the pack. Looking forward to round two already.

You can be the best driver but if you cant use your grid position to your advantage then you have a very hard fight on your hands.

You can still win but when your at the front thats where you want to stay... not lose all your hard work in qualifying and have to make up for it the whole race.

Seems there will be about 7/8 of the teams battling for points this year which will be nice

Poor Maldanondo - he would be hating himself right now. Great race, and so so so very happy to see Williams back in the upper midfield.. hopefully the beginning of a comeback to the front.

Points for Dan = awesome

Vettel splitting the Maccas = but still bodes will for the Maccas.

Racing = Win

Very happy to see Dan Ricciardo score some points. It was great to see lots of good racing for a change.

Channel 10 broadcast = fail

Greg Rust is a twat. I hate the way he pronounces Ricciardo as "Ricardo". How hard is it to get it right?

And what was with the morning breakfast couch with some random presenters interviewing washed
Australian idol rejects like Rob Mills?!??! What the fuck did any of that have to do with F1???

When Dave watches the F1, he wants the F1. Period.

How to pronounce Ricciardo: Rik-e-ar-do.
