My review of the first three races of 2011
Two wins for Sebastian Vettel in the flying Red Bull, a superb recovery from pre-season problems for McLaren culminating in a stunning victory for Lewis Hamilton in China, Ferrari struggling, impressive pace from Renault and debutant Paul di Resta, and signs of a resurgence for Mercedes.
Watch my review of the start of the 2011 Formula 1 season.

Another top assessment Murray, just spot-on.
The live show misses you. Any chance of you dropping in on the 5live commentary for a Practice session during one of the European races?

Murray, you earned your retirement and hope you're enjoying every minute, but ten years on, these comments go to show how much you're still loved and missed. The blogs are wonderful, but they're like Chinese food - almost as soon as it's done, you want more! Keep on motoring, Murray!

murray either come back and replace martin brundle as he has done it 2 long now and is boring, 6 off 1 and half a dozen off another. We don't need 2 ex drivers in the comment box and face it both off these failed, nither one won a world championship, or murray go.
