No kidding there....

Barrichello had to switch to the T car.. Due to handling problems.... Bad part was the T car was just as bad.... The commentary was that Button had been complaining that Honda keeps firing people on the team... The car itself has lost balence due to a 2 gram gain in downforce... Honda just cant get it right so far this year...

Lewis Hamilton, Unbelieveable head fake in the 4th lap... Put Massa right off the track... Awesome....

Kimi Put on a hell of a show in the last 3 laps.. Even on a suspect engine... Damn near took down Hamilton....

Williams Toyota made a great showing....

Honda who? Barrichello's radio responses could not be broadcast the whole race.... That tells you something...

Renault made much improvement over Melbourne....

Bmw is in the hunt.... Nick Heidfeld made a huge run today.... 4th place

Much more entertaining this week.... Merc/McLarin sent a confidential letter to Bernie letting him know Ferrari has aero issues that need to be remedied... (A moving piece on the undercarriage.... )This made all the difference in the world to make Merc/McLarin as competitive as Ferrari....

Lewis Hamilton was REALLLLLY impressive. The way he held off Kimi AND Massa was outstanding.

I'm sure Kimi would have done better if they had let him run the engine hard for the whole race. Of course, it might have exploded if they had. The run at the end was

Brake pedals getting hung up on steering columns FTW!

Lewis Hamilton has scored more points in his first two races, than schumacher, and senna did in theirs!

As bad as honda did, Barrichello made a decent run, finished 11 places from where he started.

Kimi has been the fastest ****in wank on the track for a while now, it was nice to seem him turn it up a bit in the closing laps and try to catch Lewis.


Next we're off to Bahrain for a red podium, Kimi, Massa, Lewis Hamilton.




Did I just go on record, yes I did, this is going to be a hell of a season.
