Well done Nico

What an amazing drive by Nico Rosberg.

A future champion in the making without doubt.

Eary days for Rosberg (Jnr) but he seems to have that bit extra that separates the likes of MS/FA/KR from DC/JB/RS et al.

In the points on his first outing? bloody amazing

[ApexClipper]

Indeed, very impressive!

And he's got what it takes to make moves stick

spot on mate. Williams seem to be level on pace with the top runners.

Well, they got fastest lap.

i'd say if they hadn't gone as long on fuel as they did they could have won just as easily as renault or ferrari.

very impressed by nico, but it seems the williams is back on form also. MW had a good run also.

maybe bmw was holding williams down?

Fantastic race by Nico, certainly be trying to get odds on him winning the championship in the next 5 years.

Good to see Williams making the best of things as well, looks like we will be seeing both Nico and Williams at the front of the pack.

Superb drive by the son of one of my heroes! There was an interesting moment on the grid before the start when Ron Dennis went to shake Nico's hand, and then turned to speak to Keke who I well remember driving for RD, the year after Nico was born! God, I felt old (and I'm only 36...)

makes you wonder if all the fuss by button was to any point.
ok so he is faster car right now, but williams does not appear that much slower.

hats off to williams. must have been good for them to have the bmw go pop on the grass almost in front of their pit as well

Well done Cosworth too! It can't be easy competing against the manufacturer teams and they seem to be doing themselves no harm with performances like that!

I imagine Frank Williams is feely quite pleased with himself,

1) He took £10 million(?) off Button/Honda to buy out his contract.
2) I bet his wage bill is a lot less with Rosberg than Button.
3) Rosberg has huge potential (at least he has had 1 good race).
4) The Cosworth engine looks to be at least as good as the BMW so far.
5) Easily beating both BMW's in the first race.
6) He isn't going to have Button under-performing in his cars all season (waiting to have to eat my words if Button does well...)

I wonder how keen Toyota will be to provide Williams with works engines next season considering the serious possibility of Williams beating Toyota.

I was very impressed!
I followed his racing in GP2 last season and must say he is a bit special.

Just the way his driving techniques as fooling drivers by darting one way then the next is good.

I also saw the bit with Ron Dennis and Keke.

I hope for raikkonen to win the championship this year as he has that level head and smoothness i love to see in a driver.

[sb-1]

He will be a revelation this year I think
