I watched some F1 for the first time this year; actually watching the closing laps of the Bahrain Grand Prix as I write this entry. Like the great masses, I enjoy watching Ferrari run up front; I think it is good for the sport because it gives everyone someone to love or hate (depending on your preference).

Too bad Scott Speed was out on the opening lap. I just wish he had a better car to provide him with a more realistic chance of running up front with the big boys. Hamilton? Running second; no idea where he came from, but he is having a terrific year. A few years ago everyone said Massa too reckless to make an impact. Funny what a good car will do to perceptions. Poor Raikkonen; I bet he thought he was going to be Scuderia’s top dog.

I have not felt compelled to watch F1 this year, but the first two races were too far out of my comfortable viewing zone (i.e. I am too damn old to watch F1 at crazy hours of the night/morning). It used to be an experience for me, but not any more. Maybe I just need to get into some of the new personalities, new rules, and a new video game would do wonders to jump start my interest again.
