Tokens spent ahead of Australian GP. Ferrari definitely tried the biggest swing in the off-season.

Effing tokens. Bleagh.

Good race, terrible crash. Ferrari flubbed the tire strategy, although similar strategy worked for them last year. I suspect that the yellow and white tires degraded less than they anticipated.

Did I hear Alonso take responsibility in the post-race interview? I can't say I really saw Gutierrez do anything wrong. Just a racing incident I guess.

Not in a straight line but he did not waver from the racing line. It was on Alonso to find a way around.
