2010 Australian GP

Who says F1 is boring this year?!
Great defending from Alonso (Ferrari), STUPID error from Webber (Red Bull) and Hamilton (McMerc) no where to go.

The entire race was really awesome, but the driver who stood out the most was Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari (not because i am a Ferrari fan). When the 5 red lights went out, Alonso had a really bad start, and lost the place to Massa, who got off to a very good start, and in turn one, Alonso was tagged by Button, which resulted in him spinning out and ending up at the tail end of the field. He pitted once for dry, supersoft tyres, and drove almost 7/8ths of the race on the supersoft Bridgestone tyre. Alonso fought from the back, all the way to fourth, and defended from relentless attacks from Hamilton. That was a real "Schumacher" drive, a determined, head down charge through the field. IMHO, i think Alonso deserved to win that race, if not for being tagged out by the race winner himsef, Jenson Button.

This race really shut up all the critics who, after watching Bahrain, said that this season looks set to be a huge bore to all the fans.
Next race is in Sepang, Malaysia, and i will be making the trip up, as i do every year, to catch the race. I will be fliming, so stay tuned!
