Vitali, now all of us very pleased. Long time since I watched the race with such stress, as soon as that ended the Australian Grand Prix. This weekend Vitali was strong in all components, but the best thing he probably failed qualification. Vitali has never failed to qualify so high, especially because Vitaly passed only one fast lap in the final segment of training. Qualification was in the past year's most unfortunate of all racing components in the performance of Petrova. Then followed, a great start in which Petrov could play two positions at once, however brilliant starts succeeded Vitaly and last year. Race itself, performed by Petrov was performed flawlessly, both in terms of piloting, and in terms of tactics, although the latter, there was a moment made me a little nervous, until it finally became clear that both Alonso and Webber are coming more pit stops . The situation with Alonso, who spent most of the race behind Vitali has never been able, eventually, be ahead of Petrova at the finish the race, something very similar to the situation prevailing in the final race of last season, which then cost Alonso the title.
 I can still talk a lot about only just ended at the boundary as the emotions overwhelmed me, but now I want to sincerely happy for Vitali and wish him to spend the season began no less worthy than he began it, let's career Vitali will be even many successful races, podiums, and, of course, victories, and his own career in F1 will be bright and long lasting.
