Qualifying recap
Not a whole lot happened on Saturday and trust me that's a phrase I could use to describe the entire weekend. Mercedes and Ferrari both showed that their developments from the three week break were what they needed to move them closer to McLaren in the now almost inevitable fight for 2nd. I don't know why Ferrari chose to use Q1 to briefly test updates. They would get more data from a run in the race than from a single flying lap. McLaren or maybe Lewis showed that the biggest thing learned from China was just quickly forgot it in some daft attempt to get on the front row of the grid. You don't get any extra points for starting on pole what matters is how you finish and someone at McLaren forgot the most basic part of motor racing.
Race recap
In more ways than one I'm reminded about 10 years ago. In 2001 a certain German ran off with the Championship and F1 was in a dark period with races being a forgone conclusion and worst of all... boring (dun dun dun). Ross Brawn pointed this out several weeks ago but it bears repeating. Red Bull have found something completely legal that put them streets ahead of the rest of the pack and now the McLarens and Ferraris need to spend millions to just catch up to them.
Speaking of Schumacher its nice to see old habits die hard when he bent his own nose out of shape at the start of the race and never recovered. I figured out why he isn't as good as he used to be. He isn't used to racing other drivers up close and personal. He used to run off with the weekend with pole and a lights to flag lead. Jim Clark had the same problem back in the day only he never played bumper cars with his rivals when they were better than him.
Last year everyone and their dog was talking about Red Bull butting horns. What's interesting is that this year even though it wont be as highly publicised is the fact that a crack has appeared at the team formally known as Renault. Petrov pushed Heidfeld almost into the pits early on and both drivers made feelings clear with shaking of fists across the tarmac.
Next stop for the F1 circus is Spain and Alonso will be in very high spirits as Ferrari have the upper hand as the fight for 2nd place opens up.

China 2011 Recap
That race was exactly what I think all fans want to see with plenty of overtaking excellent wheel to wheel driving and proof that Red Bull aren't perfect. Qualifying gave us no real surprises until Petrov casued a last minute scramble to try and get into Q3. The Toro Rosso cars both came out as the team that benifited from this best.
At the start of the race however they both didn't keep this advantage and both slipped down the pack while Schumacher reminded us of why one of his (many) strengths was a fast start. However all attention was at the front with Vettel being swamped by both McLarens and Rosberg, by the time the Ferraris got close he was matching the speed that all the KERS enabled cars around him had from the beginning.
Red Bull need to address this issue as soon as possible. With all the other front runners being able to use the boost that KERS enables them. While the Newey designed cars are supremely fast as demonstrated in both Oz and Malaysia when they kept other cars behind them with little or no KERS being used. Rumour has it that the design results in the unit overheating with prolonged use. You do wonder who thought that this was a good idea. The only way it could be worse is if it blew up at dramatically convenient moments.
Driver of the day can be split between Hamilton and Webber, Hamilton showed that he learned fro Malaysia by saving a set of tyres for when he need them and no matter what Vettel did he slipped past at the right moment. Webber brought his A game and showed that with the right tactics you can still finish in a respectable third from a qualifying position ahead of only the new teams. Both Hamilton and Webber both seem to have turned qualifiying on its head as they both had one more set of tyres when all their rivals were having to slow down.
Speaking of teams changing tactics Rosberg will not be to happy with Mercedes after qualifying in fourth the thought never crossed anyones mind that he might be amongst the leaders at any point. While we could play what if until the sun sets he had to pull back until Webber just passed him and he had Massa breathing down his neck at the end.
Speaking of Ferrari they will be anything but pleased. 3 races and the best result is a forth place. This is a team that is only satisfied with at least one driver able to be in the top three. They will be playing catch up with upgrades hoping to close the gap. Mass will be pleased however as he has now got two races on the trot in which he finished ahead of his teammate.
At the other end of the pack Williams will also be desperate for better results. Lotus are currently ahead of them in the Constructors with a better finish. No points from a team that has Rubens in the line up is most definitely not where they were expecting to be going to Europe. Frank Williams will be looking to Peter Sauber and wishing that his team on a budget was doing as well.
Last but not at the back of the pack mentions have to go to both di Resta and d'Ambrosio both rookies are doing well di Resta is keeping up with his experienced teammate and d'Ambrosio is beating his... maybe its the small d at the beginning of their surnames?
Next stop is Turkey with Red Bull hoping for anything but a repeat from last year. Although McLaren wouldn't mind a repeat.

2011 Malasian Recap
That... was exactly what F1 needs. A race with a brilliant start and plenty of overtaking in it. Slight problem with a lot of the overtaking coming from the cars needing to constantly changing tyres as these seem to last as long as a Hollywood marriage. The real story at the start of the race was the Renaults and Schumacher tearing up the field and staying up there. After that the Red Bulls both seemed to have problems with the KERS unit and yet they both showed how fast the car can go with an extra 30 kilos on board. Hiedfeld showed what the Renault can do and shut everyone up who were quick to slate him in Melbourne. Hamilton, while showing that he has learned from Button about keeping his tyres in better shape then he did in the past, struggled toward the end with Alonso nearly taking both himself and Hamilton out in a daft move that could have been very simply avoided. I don't see how Lewis' moves against Alonso were deemed as weaving and as a result lost a place. This one move to defend yourself is fair enough if all the way down a straight a much slower car forces a faster one to duck and dodge but between a McLaren and a Ferrari the moves are justified. While they were both punished in the end Hamilton lost more so I ask if Alonso was deemed to have caused an avoidable collision why didn't he lose a place as well? Alonso already finished ahead of Hamilton so why punish him further?

2011 Australian recap
The F1 gods smiled on us by keeping us away from a typical follow the leader race we get every year in Bahrain. Instead we got Melbourne starting the season with a better track and actual overtaking abilities. I'm all for bringing F1 to new places and new people but going to countries that have little to no motorsport heritage and with these circuits charging so much the cameras are told to not show the stands as they are nearly empty. Does that sound like the way you would open a championship? Yet Bernie seems to not really care about losing Australia which sells out year after year and can say the fans are backing Webber and have the Bathurst 1000 to be proud of.
OK rant over onto the recap.
Qualifying
The surprise of Q1 was the loss of Heidfeld but the fact that the Lotus team was still 2 seconds off the pace of the next car was more surprising. You would think that a Mike Gascoigne design would do better then what we saw. In Q2 Schumacher struggled and ultimately fell at the hurdle. In Q1 Petrov showed what the Renault can do with getting ahead of both Rosberg and Massa to take sixth behind Alonso and both Red Bulls and McLaren. Speaking of McLaren they must be breathing a sigh of relief as they can challenge the Red Bulls which is right where they want to be.
The Race
The real highlights came from Button and Massa going nose to gearbox until a questionable move left Jenson on the wrong side of a drive through penalty. Would have been nice to have actually seen the move from either car to let the viewers find out if Button was really ahead as he claimed but we have to submit to the stewards and hope they made the right call. Despite this he still caught back up with Massa and even passed him legitimately to finish behind Webber who matched his best finish way back in 2002 with Minardi. While Mercedes can take the fact that they only lost both cars due to racing incidents they will hope to have both drivers fighting in the top ten in Malaysia. The big stories ultimately are the fact that Petrov stepped up and took his first podium and showed what both he and the car can do. We never saw the incident that made Heidfeld ultimately limp home only beating the one surviving Lotus and both Virgins but he can see that both drivers can very much challenge for wins this year. The other story came from after the race with both Saubers thrown out. If Peter Sauber has one outstanding element to his reputation its that he doesn't cheat. Why did the stewards wait until the very end of the weekend to decide to do this? Did no one measure the wings at any other point after the team took up their position in the pit lane? It stinks of amateur hour and I can only hope that future races actually look at the cars at some point before the race.
Vettel will be on top of the world with a very dominant win as the circus packs up and heads for Malaysia. With Bernie insisting that the only fans that matter are in Europe (a load of codswollop if you ask me) we seem to be certain to get a wet race. This always makes for an interesting race and I can't wait.
OK rant over onto the recap.

Intro, a recap and this years predictions
Firstly a brief history I started commenting on twitter last year about the F1 season and this year thought I would expand to a blog.
Did I lie about it being brief? And now...
The 2010 Recap
Last year Red Bull showed that they are no longer just the fun team with both drivers and constructors Championships. It would have been even sweeter had the house been in order with team favouritism shining through. Although Ferrari have nothing to laugh about themselves with a faster car that could inexplicably not pass the car in front. The other big story was the damp squib comeback of Michael Schumacher who only seemed to create headlines when he nearly forced ex teammate Rubens Barrichello to crash at Hungary. What annoyed me even more than that was the fact that Nico Rosberg was doing exceptionally well getting to 2nd in the Championship before the team reared the development toward Schumacher and as a result the team slipped down the grid. McLaren helped to show Jenson Button was not just lucky with the Brawn and helped him to 2 wins.
The best of the rest had Renault rebuilding from Flavio Briatores era with a strong performance with Kubica pulling in several podiums and Petrov doing well considering he was driving against a more experienced team mate. Williams kept plugging away in the middle of the pack proving that they have a good eye for new talent with Nico Hulkenburg impressing in his debut year and clearly learning from Rubinho. Force India helped Sutil to a near upset by almost beating Schumacher in the Championship with very similar tech with the Mclaren assisted car. Sauber struggled with BMW pulling out at the last minute leaving Peter Sauber to save his team from folding completely. Kobayashi showed his nations 'Banzi' style of driving repaid the faith Peter put in giving him the number one seat after only 2 races the year before. Toro Rosso were unfortunately very disappointing with a car that didn’t really deliver while the sister Red Bulls were gathering all the praise at the front and the Ferrari engine was working better in a Sauber that wasn't even designed for it.
Then the new teams despite Bernie pushing for them and then just as quickly trying to push them out the door. Lotus raised to the challenge and won the newbie race with a strong foundation and two experienced drivers. HRT at times seemed close to farce with a micro budget and driver changes galore replacing fan favourites in order to make it to the end of the season. Virgin only finish dead last thanks to one result from canned Chandock being better than all the performances that Glock and di Grassi pulled in all year and as a result we got Richard Branson in drag. If I ever see that image I will consider that one more nightmare in my head.
2011 Predictions
If trying to guess the world cup I couldn't hope to guess race by race but I'll still try and see team-by-team and also individual drivers. This was meant to go up before first qualifying season but viruses that shut down your computer have no sense of timing.
Red Bull
Very much the team to beat this year starting at the front and seems like they are staying there if testing is anything to go by. As long as they keep the Pro Vettel side of the garage quiet it should be a better season. However Webber needs to step up as he seems to be making rumblings that he wants to leave and he may not get too many more chances to win a championship.
McLaren
They got close last year but close doesn't cut it. Both drivers are more than capable of winning championships and the car now looks like it can deliver with the successful Hail Mary pass paying off after winter testing had them at one second off the pace. Last year the critics were proven wrong with neither side slinging mud unlike the two closet rivals. However last year Jenson was a Championship contender until the last few races and so didn't need to support Hamilton but how long will this harmony last if one of them struggles with the new tyres or any other addition to the cars this year.
Ferrari
After last year Ferrari will be all guns blazing to try and take a championship this year. Alonso joined so that he could remain competitive and with the bitter taste of Abu Dhabi he knows that the team can deliver both on the track and politically off it. Massa climbed back in the car after a horrific incident but seemed to lose some of his edge that made him champion for all of 30 seconds back in 2008. The pro Fernando side seem to want him gone but if he takes the lead in the championship the team will have no choice. Massa and Webber both seem to be in very similar boats coming into this year and past performance shows that Massa will not go down without a fight, he just needs to remember that.
Mercedes
Schumacher is being paid the big bucks and so the team wants to back him. Rosberg doesn't seem to be intimidated by him and so I think if either one will take a win it'll be Nico and that will be the final nail in Schumachers coffin if his team mate takes the first win for the team and beats him again Michael will be gone at the end of the year and either Sutil or Hulkenburg will move up from Force India to take a number two seat alongside Rosberg.
The team formerly know as Renault
*Inhales deeply* I could go on and on about this and I refer to this team as Renault in order to keep things simple on this blog rather than spending a dozen word explaining which Lotus I refer to. All seemed to be going this teams way until Kubica stuck it in a Italian crash barrier. Now while I support and even want to encourage drivers taking part in other forms of motor sport in the off-season this left Renault up the proverbial creek. With Heidfeld there is a steady head in his former teammates seat for the year. Alongside him is Petrov going into a season knowing full well that he came close to losing his seat at the end of last year so he needs to prove that there is talent along with his money to justify his seat.
Williams
Its unfortunate that Williams was left with a large gap in the budget and being forced to take on a pay driver (but don't mention it, I did it once and think I got away with it). Rubens will hope to keep Williams as the best of the midfield and Maldonado being one of four rookies will be eager to learn form the most experienced driver on the grid.
Force India
After coming within one point of taking sixth place Force India will be trying to keep a more consistent season in order to rule the midfield. Di Resta I think will be that best of the newbies but if he can get one over on Sutil remains to be seen and he could put himself on Mercedes radar when they come looking for a new driver to partner Nico.
Sauber
This team is moving back on up the grid with a car that looks to be quick enough to get Q2 with no worries and even breaking into the top ten to be challenging for points if the car is reliable. Kobayashi is going from strength to strength and may even find higher up teams will come knocking should he continue to impress. Perez will be simply looking to keep it on the track but we will have to wait and see with him.
Toro Rosso
The only way is up (apologies if you now have that lousy song stuck in your head) for this team. Although its interesting that before even the first race they are talking about replacing one of the drivers with someone else. Both Buemi and Alguersuari will be out of the traps like... well there seats do depend on it. The team will have to hope to keep up even a little with Seb and Mark this year.
Team Lotus
This team will be looking to take at least on established scalp this year with the same set up as Heidfeld and Petrov. This team may face its biggest challenge in court and not on the track however. Kovalainen will be hoping to lead the team to better things and keep them as the best of the new teams.
Virgin
With this team not really showing up too much in the times at testing the must close the gap at least to Lotus or will not be seen to have accomplished anything this year.
HRT
Oh dear... the car looks like last years with different wings and thanks to them not being able to complete one timed lap at all before qualifying in Melbourne they will not even qualify for race much less finish them. Liuzzi must have been very desperate to sign for this team but if some one moves from Force India then a spot will be open to him so he must be biding his time. After all they are paying him to trundle along at the back this year.
Well that’s how I think the team goals are this year. I'll try to keep this up to date with thoughts after each race and any major stories that brake (he he) over the year.
