GP madness
With only eight finishers this years opener was a car breaker - though actually I think the majority of the retirements were due to the lack of traction control ;). Hamilton won with Kimi a faltering 8th after Barichello’s disqualification, does that means he gets an engine and a point?
Button was out on the first corner, but at least the Honda is faster than Bernie’s motorhome this year. The renault looked a handful but at least Alonso looked like he was back on form - was he ever not…? Piquet didn’t look that class act that I expected him to be though it was a quiet debute. Boudais looked good - as did all the Red Bulls this weekend, though none of them finished (I’m sure that coulthard would have some words to say about that one - most of them to Massa).
The highlights for me were the fight between Kovaleinon (sp?) and Alonso, and Raikkonen. Rosberg getting a well deserved podium and the return to points (second in the table) of Williams. The BMWs were faster than I thought they’d be but still not fast enough. An interesting start to the season anyway - next week will tell us more…
