Beginning another F1 Season

Finally, the short mild winter has broken and we can at begin to think about racing again. NASCAR started a few weeks ago in Daytona, fun race, what other series can you cross the finish line upside down and on fire. However, now we start the top class. Melbourne, Australia is the start to the season. Qualifying was uneventful but interesting. Kimi put Ferrari back on the pole - perhaps his car will not fail him this year and the iceman can claim the top seat in more than a few races and get what everyone thinks he should be able to accomplish - world championship. Two time world champ Alonso may have something to say about it, he qualified in P2 and it will likely be a good start to the race. As readers of this site will know, I switched personal brands last year, going from BMW to Benz. I've now got torn allegiances, I've been a BMW fan for quite some time. I'm not really into my car as much as I was my BMWs. I do like Alonso, and now that he's at MB, perhaps I should ally myself there. The BMWs are seated well, sitting well at 3 and 5. MB sitting 2 and 4. Should be an exciting start to the first race. The big 3 are still atop the list - Ferrari, MB and BMW. It cerainly seems like Renault's ride atop the standings were dependent on Alonso, and their slide seems imminent. We go green at 11PM Eastern, less than 12 hours from now!!
