Well the 2008 season started off with tons of excitement. Talk about a race of not many making it to the end. Six to finish out of the 22 that started. Crazy.

From the grid launch collisions in the back of the pack, but it was for the most part all Lewis show up front. Kimi was going to show us how strong Ferrari with moving up from 15th to 8th. It was awesome to see Nico get third place. Boy, Sébastien Bourdais was so, so close until the left bank on the engine let go on lap 55… Still got his 2 points, just a shame since I think he would of ended up higher.

Ferrari was not the engine of the day for sure. Out of the six cars that had Ferrari power, all of them failed to finish.

The one I was really hoping for was Sebastian Vettel, I think he has great promise this year. Too bad he was down from the get go. Still just an awesome race IMO. It was really fun to watch, might of been the off season feeling too long. But honestly it was just great race to watch. Lewis should his normal cool form. McLaren-Mercedes was just really strong.

So the three I watch this season are:

• Lewis (no question, he should be ready for 17 more great races)
• Vettel
• Bourdais

All I know, is oh good times… good times… F1 2008 season is now here!

Let the Australian Grand Prix, Practice begin.  No traction control this year… should see lots of sliding or fishing this year.

Wonder how much the change in the traction control will have impact on the 08 season.

One week and counting… Ah the 2008 F1 season is almost here!

Six days and counting!
