	Just watching the Aussie GP and so glad the BBC are back, opening credits are good and deep joy they've brought back The Chain. The result was pretty good from a Brit point of view too.

	Didn't watch it, but highlights on BBC website were very good and the commentary seemed up to scratch. I was a bit confused/intrigued by the imagery in the F1 adverts before over the week before the race, the presence of the oil rig in one of the shots and the big truck (rig?) are the bbc hinting at something LOL! m0rris

	I was actually quite emotional when Jenson won. I quite surprised myself! My only criticism is that the main commentator is a bit... er... BBC, if you know what I mean. James Allen (sp?) was a bit more enthusiastic IMHO. But lack of adverts = uber-WIN in my book

	Not too sure about the new pit interviewer lady. She came across as a bit wooden and maybe there just as a bit of eye candy. Also agree with the above, lacking enthusiasm. I think the story of how Braun GP came up from literally nothing a month ago to winning the opening GP will be one for the books.

	No ads and The Chain (Tim, I got emotional just hearing that music at the start!) are the best bits, Murray, with all his faults and perhaps faltering health, would be the icing on the cake. Braun is a German (I think) electrical goods manufacturer. Button is driving for Brawn, as in Ross Brawn.

	really really enjoyed it! the red button add another dimension - i got to see all practce sessions, qualifying, race, and the replay is STILL on now! AND WHATS A RESULT FOR JENSON! nice to see someone being rewarded when they've been loyal to the team lets hope Mr Branson (the lucky B*stard ) can put his hand in his pocket so they can keep the team competetive! And the other commentator is hardly new to it - if you listen to radio 5 live he covers loads for them. Athletics, horse racing, F1 etc. I'm not his biggest fan though. For ultimate commentary you need charlie cox and steve parrish who the beeb have to do their motogp coverage

	Aye - became very clear that the commentator was ex-radio - he wouldn't shut up! Better than before though, certainly. The after-show was good - a very relaxing come-down from the excitement of the race. I'll shut up now because frankly, this is about as retro as an i-pod.

	Let's face it, Branson seems to make a success of everything he does, so it looks good for Jenson and Co. Let's not forget Lewis' drive from the back of the grid to 3rd place. Nice to see the Championship become a double-header between Jenson and Lewis!
