And it’s on the way!

Just watched the first qualifiers for the new Formula One Season. Man, that was awesome!
Who would’ve believed a month ago that Barrichello and Button will take part in the new season, but to be on the front row of the grid with only 7 days of testing????
Now we have a real championship! The teams from the back of the grid are now in front and the “big guns” have to find the antidote… I don’t know what the fuss is all about with the rear diffusers… I say give it to all the teams, make it more challenging… I hope that the shape showed today by Brawn GP, Red Bull and Williams is here to stay and that the championship will be wide open!
I am a Ferrari fan, but if Barrichello takes the championship, I will be even happier!
So, bring it on! “The Circus” is in town and I’ve got tickets in the front row!
