Good to see F1 back with a bang

Wow. I don't think F1 has been as interesting since, well, ever. The grid is completely mixed up, the Ferraris are pants and Hamilton has a Skoda. Then there is Jenson, a very unlucky driver who has been stuck with countless piss poor cars over the years but finally has one he can win in and win in well. Today was how F1 should be, close competitive racing where you don't know who the winner is until the final lap. Jenson has had a fantastic weekend and hopefully it will continue for him and Brawn GP. Even Lewis showed his class by starting 18th and finishing 4th, although Trulli did an illegal move on him under the safety car so he ended up 3rd. Don't write him off yet. Overall it was a classic and exicting race which will hopefully set the marker for the rest of the season.

Obama and Hamilton

What a week - the first black US president and the first black F1 champion. They both deserve their considerable achievements.

The world has turned a corner...........(hopefully).
