Three races, three different winners, and Sauber-BMW on top of the constructors championship. This season is promising to be a humdinger. After two dismal performances, the new center of the latest F1 political intrigue has shown that he deserves a drive with the Ferrari team. In a action packed race BMW showed its exemplary reliability and Ferrari showed why they are top of the heap. If there was any doubt about
Ferrari has always been the poster boy of F1, may be it is because they are the only surviving team from the start of F1 or may be it is because they have always been halo products. They always had their pick of drivers, even when the reigning champion called his Ferrari a “fast truck” they could pick and choose who drove for them. The latest wannabe Scuderia recruit is Fernando Alonso, who is not so hot at the moment in the Renault.

The prince of F1 also was off color at
Oh the funny thing is that you don’t have to win races to be champion, you just have to be consistent, and both Ferrari and Mclaren have shown an amazing lack of consistency. Its going to be an interesting year.

Let me first apologize for the rant that is coming up.
Nothing personal, I just hate the concept of F1.
It is white people at play. Huge waste of resources, excessive hype and big financial entry-barriers.
The hype is the worst. It is next to impossible for an ordinary bloke to even get a look in for a job as an F1 driver, isn't it?And if he is non-white, he might as well concentrate on the tyre-changing function, right? How, then do you know that Kimi or whoever is the BEST driver in the UNIVERSE? How do you know it is not Ramsingh the auto driver who lives down the road? Why, even Narayan Karthikeyan couldn't get a shot at driving for the only indian team.
No, this is a white people thing and is heartily supported by their aspiring brown cousins, who, with their happening cell phones and happening car stereos and souped up mitsubishi lancers with "Death"and "Ferrari" and such like stickers emblazoned all over the place strut around like they've made some major contribution to the world by driving zipping past a groaning autorickshaw and cursing an old man for not driving in his lane.
