Well, this concludes the first episode in the 18-show series called the F1 championship. Well done Lewis Hamilton, this was quite spectacular (gaining a nigh 15-second lead every time the security car left). Too bad for Kovalainen getting caught up after Glock's debut as a fighter pilot and thus losing a surefire second place.
Too bad for Bourdais for having a second-hand Ferrari engine, which blew to smithereens a couple of laps before a grand debut finish.
As a matter of fact, too bad for all 15 drivers not finishing today. Haven't seen so many cars quit since, well, a long long time.

On the entertaining side, though, it's a joy they've cut down all the electronic aids. Finally the cars don't look like they're on rails and controlled by computers, there was actually some sideways action, and a few spins. Looks like the beginnings of an exciting season.

Time for your opinion: what happened and who snapped, when Massa and Coulthard crashed? To me it looked as if Massa was acting as a Kamikaze, the commentator on Estonian TV3 said it was rather Coulthard's fault, since Massa had already creeped up on him. Any ideas?
