2010 F1 Qantas Australia GP, Melbourne

Well, well, well. We didn't have any Ralf Schumacher repeat, but it was definitely an improved 'show' compared to Bahrain. As always, a little rain helps to shake things up quite a bit & although there's no refueling, teams are now trying to limit pitstops which clearly was a factor in the race, resulting in tire degradation. It's understandable why LH was pretty p***-off at McLaren for calling in twice.
In any case, not wanting to sound bias but I really thought FA's successful attempt at holding off LH & MW was excellent! I've no doubt that Massa certainly benefited from that.
Not to mention the out of track shenanigans of Mr.Hamilton prompting the Minister to call him a Dickhead!  How rude! Then again, when you have a Road Safety campaign titled 'Don't be a Dickhead'... I guess it's no bloody surprise. But Mr.Webber was defensive of LH saying the his good ol' OZ state has become 'a bloody nanny state'.

So... what with rain, dickheads & nannies.... hopefully this is a sign that 2010 F1 Season could be shaping up

Enough of my blabbering.... the results as follows :

2010 F1 Gulf Air Bahrain GP, Sakhir

Otherwise also known as 'Boh-rain' GP. Despite the appearance of 4 F1 World Champions & the various rule change, this turned out to be a processional race. We can only hope it'll get better!
