Yay, the formula 1 season is back! And what a start … the new qualifying format makes interesting watching. All of last year I did not watch the qualifying because it was a little boring. But I think this format may make sense from a spectator’s standpoint. Of course, there are kinks to be worked out, like a red flag towards the end of the session which will make everyone scramble to create a time. But anyway …

Ferrari seems like they are back! Massa was a pleasant surprise making fast laps and even going ahead of Schumi for a lap or so.

Kimi had yet another bloody mechanical failure, which sucks because he is going to start at the bottom of the pile.
