Keep it Simple

What an awesome GP, was great to see Sergio Perez chasing down Alonso if only he hadn’t run wide, Lewis Hamilton was allot happier with this third place than the one in Melbourne.

Bruno Senna drove a great race to bring the Williams home in 6th place in doing so scored more points for the team in one race than they did all last season, the news also continues to get better for Williams with news that Adam Parr is to leave his role with the team.

Felipe Mass could only mange to get this Ferrari home in 15th place and with Perez in 2nd the pressure will not really be on Massa.

The Chinese GP is now the next on the schedule and look for the teams to start bringing some small updates with a two week gap between GPs before Bahrain the week after before returning to Europe where the serious upgrades will be rolled out for the Spanish GP.
