Formula 1

So what are we to make of the current F1 season? Things have been really turned upside down haven't they? I would imagine Honda are scratching their heads and wondering why with all their resources they couldn't do what Ross Brawn has done on a shoestring by comparison. And I would think that David Coulthard must be feeling pretty miffed that after several seasons flogging his way round in an underperforming Red Bull car, he has no sooner retired than the car has taken on a new lease of life, and is now up there at the front of the grid. What this season demonstrates - if indeed it needed demonstrating - is that it is the car rather than the driver which matters. Last season's big names are all struggling and a new set of faces are making the headlines. Does the apparent stranglehold of Brawn/Button make the whole thing boring? Not for me it doesn't although I can understand why it might do for other people. Can't imagine that Ferrari and McLaren will not pull something out of the hat before the season is over. No, for me, this is exciting.
