F1, a level playing field this year?

With the 1st race of the season almost upon us, I looked forward to a new and exciting era with all the changes (except the ludicrous scoring system which has now been deferred until 2010) contibuting to closer racing all the way down the field. Last season's politics and Bernie's apparant bias to red cars a distant bad memory.
Until, that is, I read the Daily Mail this evening. In an interview with Jonathan McEvoy, there was a paragraph that raised feelings of unease that Lewis might have to beat not only his fellow drivers but also the FAI who, on the face of it, did their best to defeat him last season by a series of very dubious descisions.
Is Bernie really biased towards Ferrari?, was there any real basis to the rumours? Read on...............
"I used to go to see the old man (Enzo) Ferrari four times a year when he was in his ninties. He didn't speak a word of English and I don't speak Italian, but we got on like a house on fire. He was as bright then as he had ever been, wanting to know what was going on and ready to do a deal with me under the table. That's what got him going - and me"
Hmm, seems Bernie and Ferrari go back a long way !

Hmm - no surprise though really.

First race result will be:

1 Jenson
2 Lewis
3 Some spanish bloke

All in my opinion

1)Raikonen
2)Button
3)Glock

Hamilton midfield after a stop and go penalty for overtaking Massa.

Mass last because it looked a bit cloudy out.

Lewis loses all points, what a surprise. And I was hoping it would be different this year! What's next, a re-run of the race because Ferrari didn't finish? :x

i'm afraid that it doesn't matter who you are what training you have had, your upbringing .etc you will only be poked with a sharp stick for so long then you will say enough is enough and grasp said stick and shove it up somebody's a*** and take your business elsewhere .

Looks like the format is set to continue for this season.

Watch the race, watch the first three finishers enjoy the podium moment.

Wait a couple of days to hear the result. :roll:
