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).<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s top dog.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
