Finally got the first two races watched, watching Japan P1 now.

McLaren is looking good so far this season.

Looks like RB made a driver change.

Power outage last night cost me quali this weekend.

Qually had a new track record set and a surprising result.  It was an absolute perfect lap.

In the dessert this weekend or is that desert?  Either way if you didn't have your BETAMAX set already you have missed P1 and 2.

Japan, after race drivers comments "that's all the highlights for this race" pretty much summed it up.

Bahrain was an interesting race, lots of penalties for all kinds of things, some of which were issued very late.

The race itself was full of passes and close racing.

Miami grand parking lot race is this weekend.  Maybe this will be the year they loose a car in the fake marina!

Lots of wheel to wheel (literally) racing.  Interesting race.   I think the glow of being in RED has worn off of Sir Lewis.  Some of his radio comments are great.  Enjoy.

Finally watched it this morning.  Ham may be seeing what a lot of have been seeing.  Team red makes some bad calls and it costs them.

I thought Sky had dumped Danica Mulvaney but I guess not.  Kudos to whoever at Sky told him it was a Toga party and then stole his comb.

Italy has come and gone.   Some interesting racing and some boring follow the leader.   Monaco next week and Spain the week after.

There were some interesting laps, not many but some.

Keep an eye for Monaco Qualifying, it is supposed to be on ESPN Saturday around 10 eastern but not listed by my provider.  Everything else is listed.  The race and pre-race are on ABC

Best part of the entire weekend.  Actual race was a pitstop strategy race.   Almost some excitement near the end.

If you forgot to tape the practices don't worry as you didn't miss anything.  Qualifying was interesting.

Race was a pit stop strategy race mard by a safety car  in the latter section of the race.  The last few laps were quite entertaining.
