Rattling Around

After too long a wait, the Formula 1 season has finally started, with Fernando Alonso taking up where he left off. I have no idea how he managed to avoid Felipe Massa when Massa's Ferrari slid backwards right in front of the Renault! And I was happy that Jacques Villeneuve was able to quickly escape his burning car. What a performance by Kimi Raikkonen, going from last to wind up on the podium. And Michael Schumacher is in the hunt again, after last year's disappointing effort. Scott Speed did respectfully, being the first US F1 driver for too many years. And the new rules seemed to have made the contest much more competitive this year, with a half dozen teams having reasonable chances for a race victory. For race details, visit Pitpass.
