Ferrari remain at the top
Today was the start of the Formula 1 season with the race at Melbourne.
It was an exciting race. Massa started from the back of the grid and picked his way up to 6th. He was originally slated for 16th(Gearbox problems so he DNFed the Q2) but Ferarri pulled another good strategy out of thin air which saw them replacing his engine and filling him up to the brim which penalised him to 22nd but game him extreme "stamina".
Kimi raced relatively unapposed with a superbly fast car and finished first. Kimi later sported a grin at the podium.
Alonso and Hamilton raced each other for 2nd and 3rd but Alonso used his experience in Formula 1 to put himself in a position to regain 2nd (which Hamilton had stole in the early stages of the race) in the final quarter of the race.
Webber made a daring late-game move (which he would have won had Wurz seen him coming) which saw his car vaulting over Alexander Wurz's Williams at turn 3. The car narrowly missed Wurz's hands and helmet. Both drivers were DNFed.
Super Aguri did quite well in qualifying and at the end of the race, Takuma Sato placed 12th.
Alber's crashed his Spyker in turn 3 and later said that 'his ear plug was hurting his ear and so he missed the braking point'.
And oh yea... Spyker are headed for arbritation over the alleged fact that the last year’s Honda RA106.
It's gonna be a fun season. :D
