I didn’t get to watch the Spain race this past weekend like I had hoped.

The real news from the weekend (IMHO) was in regards to Takuma Sato and the Super Aguri team. He scored the teams first world championship point on Sunday when he placed eighth. That is pretty cool for a struggling team. I love to see the underdogs down there get there points and get to enjoy the moment. Sato definitely sounded excited from all the quotes I was reading.

All the hard work done by the boys in Leafield on limited resources, and back in Tochigi – the Honda support is enormous and the fans and sponsors. I am proud of them all.

It was another great weekend for Massa and not for Kimi. Sometimes it makes you wonder if Kimi wants to swap Felipe for his Ferrari!

You know the one guy I wish gets in the points each race is good ole Scott Speed. Not because he is from the US, but because he seems like a truly genuine racer that is just trying to get there from here in the STR-Ferrari. Just always seems to have some car issue that lets him down. This weekend being no different with tire issues.

So far it is a McLaren-Mercedes and Ferrari constructors race (no shock there) with Hamilton definitely helping out Alonso this year.

How about Kimi and Lewis at the start!? That was just great!

Hamilton just keeps bringing it to the fans (UK should be proud!).

As the F1 site so perfectly put it:

The fairytale start to Lewis Hamiltons Formula One career continued in Bahrain on Sunday. His second place made him the first driver in history to finish his first three Grands Prix on the podium. Not only that, he also took the joint lead in the drivers championship standings.

Hamilton is on a role and apparently his GP2 days have served him well.

Alonso, what the heck is going on? Someone is off his mark.

Have to give props to Massa for getting things worked out from the last race. Hamilton definitely kept him in his sites and kept Kimi from jumping past him, but Massa earned this one fair an square.

I think Monaco, not Spain should be a screamer for Lewis. He apparently loves the course there from his GP2 days. We will see if he can make the McLaren-Mercedes stick like glue!

Lewis Hamilton is proving to be a great F1 driver with only his 2nd official F1 race in the Malaysian Grand Prix Sunday.

Hamiltons’ performance in Australia 3 weekends ago was great, but Malaysian only proved the guy has great skills even more so.

Masa, what a horrible way to get started early on.

Alonso, great driving we have come to expect from the last couple years, but still not the same as last year yet. But it wasn’t until the end of last year when he really shined!

McClaren did a great job this weekend along with Ferrari as usual. You can’t ignore a Ferrari can ya? :)

Only 6 days to Bahrain! :)

This season is definitely starting out interesting even with Michael being gone. I can only imagine we will be seeing him soon in the Ferrari pits to watch Masa and Kimi.

Hamilton is of course currently the man to watch so far this year. I see great things coming from him, especially if Alonso assists and does not try to stomp.

Renault is definitely not used to Bridgestones’ tires. The aero issues without the Michelin’s anymore seems to become an issue they need to attack. They better get that shuffled around soon!
