It looks like it’s going to be a memorable F1 season. The Bahrain race had plenty of good overtaking, surprisingly lacklustre performances from Fernando and Kimi and surprisingly excellent performances from their teammates. Hamilton is incredible, although statements from people like Jackie Stewart saying he could win the world championship still seem a little premature.
At the end of the race we have three drivers tied for first place in the championship (Hamilton hasn’t won a race so he’s third but they’re tied on points) with Massa not far behind. We have two constructors fighting for the title with BMW biting at their heels. We just need some of the other teams to pick up their pace a bit and we’ll be in for some wonderful racing.
For a moment in the race it looked like I was in for some big money, as I had a bet on Anthony Davidson to get a points finish, so it was a disappointment to see his engine give way. Massa won me $21 by winning the race though. Some of that is going on David Coulthard for the next race.
