Ferrari. Good strategy call(making up for last year's fiasco) and they just seemed to have the faster car under race conditions with Vettel. Good pitstop as well.

Fezzazza - great job from the red team. Kept their heads cool on strategy, delivered a good car and kicked off the year in a very positive way for them and for the sport.

Red Bull for bothering to get Dani Ric back out there and the comment that the fastest lap was too fast to temper young Verstappen.

Ferrari. Easy call, they were reliable, fast, no pit mistakes and got the strategy spot on.
Would have considered Torro Rosso for a close second place if not for the late issue with Kvyat's car. Really liked their pit strategy and the team work between the drivers. |

If Ferrari had such a strong 'team' showing, then surely Kimi should have been on the podium too?
Mercedes messed up strategy. So, for getting two cars in the top ten, I was looking between FI and STR - STR just gets it for me. |

Obv it should be Ferrari but i'm going for Force India
Checo made some risky moves in order to get more points than he probably would have done otherwise with a car that is a long way from where they need it to be so far. Ocon drove a nice stady race to secure the second lot of points for the team. |

Force India, for going out in a pink livery and scoring points with both cars, which is probably more than anyone would have expected of them.
Ferrari won, but Kimi was lacking in my opinion. |

Thought their strategy was poor - second stop was far too late.
