Blog-favorite Sebastian Vettel on pole, and a pretty good performance, leading the race for the first 30 or so laps (of 49) until a broken exhaust header, or something, lost him 3 places in the matter of a few laps due to the loss of power. But, luckily, he didn't lose any more places in the remaining 20 laps, and amaged to finish 4th.
Of the new teams, none of the HRT or the Virgin Racing cars survived anywhere near halfway through the race. Also, both of the incredibly ugly BMW-Sauber Ferraris are both out, but they're technically not a new team. Both of the Lotus cars seem to have survived.
Also, I think I'm going to be rooting for the Renault team this year, due to the intense awesomeness (and the intense yellowness) of their car. And Vitaly Petrov of Renault didn't manage to finish the race either.
And a random massive smoke-screen from the back of Mark Webber's Red Bull at the start, with no apparent ill effects later in the race, except for dropping a few places from 5th down to 8th.
And after 3 years away from F1, seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher has done pretty well for himself, hanging about in 6th place for most of the race.
1-2 finish for Ferrari, making up for their relatively horrid showing in the 2009 season. And a win for Fernando Alonso on his Ferrari debut.
And seemingly a pretty standard first race of the season. With 8 of 24 cars not finishing the race.

You know, DNFs aren't that common in NASCAR.
But Sebastian Vettel doesn't drive in NASCAR.
And neither does Vitaly Petrov.
This is true. You are one hundred percent correct on that.
