Well the season opened with a Ferrari taking the win in the shape of Raikkonen who also took the fastest lap of 1:25.235, it was interesting to see which teams look to have got it right and Ferrari look as though they will be the team to beat with McLaren looking like the 2nd strongest team out there.
B.A.R. Honda as they are now called have a wierd paint job but its for a good course, Button did'nt have the best race this time around and failed to get into the top 10 while his team mate Barrichello was looking strong but unfortunatelly he was held up very badly by Button in the opening laps. As soon as Barrichello was able to pass though he disappeared into the distance with lettle problems.
Massa who had a gear box problem durring qualifiying and was pussed to the back of the grid managed to score 3 points for Ferarri.
Hiedfeld looked very good and managed to hold off both McLarens off the start line all the way till his 1st pit stop, so the BMW's look to be fairly strong and a team to keep an eye out for this season although i do expect them to fall away sooner or later.
