Well Done Lewis

Due to be being a responsible parent these days, I decided against staying up all night to watch the first GP of the season live from Melbourne. The race was due to be re-run by ITV at 3pm later that day so I had to dodge any programmes that might spoil the result for me.
I had managed to stay in the dark as to the outcome of the race until half an hour before it was due to start. It was at this point during the pre-race build up that my helpful brother walked into the room and said:"it was a piece of piss for Hamilton wasn't it?!"
I won't tell you what I said in response to this but it wasn't nice.
Indeed it was a piece of piss of Mr H, but the race between the rest of the cars was good fare. It was great to see an F1 car sliding through corners again as opposed to being artificially helped. The engines now sound as if they can breathe again thanks to the banning of the oxy-moronic device that is traction control. These are the best drivers in the world racing the best cars, surely TC has no place in the sport.
I was particularly pleased to see Sebastian Bourdais do well as I think he has been deserving of a race seat for quite a while. I last saw him race in Champ Car at Surfers Paradise where he clinched his second title.
Lewis was in a class of his own and hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the season. Kimi looked like a different driver - making mistakes etc - so it will be interesting to how he comes back in the next couple of races.
All in all it was a great way to start the season and I can't wait to watch them go at it in round two next week.
