F1 is back again at long last!! :)

Always awful when you have to work at the same time the season starts, but whatever...

And it seems not just Red Bull have tyre issues, Hamilton seriously complained about the tyres 'being destroyed' after a couple of laps already (Hard compound), so... Let's see.

New TV graphics look indeed fantastic.

Other drivers were complaining, not just Ham. Remember, for people who think MSC (why do they still use that rather than SCH?) is slower than ROS, remember who the 09 Practice king was...

missing kimi raikkonen....with him in one of the 4 top teams this would have been best championship from at least 25 30 years.....Schuy, Alonso, Hamilton, Button + Kimi, (as world champion); a near world champion like massa; and the raising start of the most promising young driver on the circuit Vettel...............plus other driver that have some win in their career..............it would have been a fantastic season.....super competitive.....a real World class N* 1 World championship..........we only have to hope that kimi is coming back next year..........
