Never in the history of F1 have so many teams, been in such a competitive position to fight for wins. Fernando Alonso believes that a difference of .2 seconds may separate the top 8 runners during qualifying. That is a stunningly close field. I am truly impressed with the initiatives the FIA and FOTA agreed to with the aero regs to keep the field this close. Rarely has the level of interest in testing been so high.
I cannot wait to see what 2009 will bring us!! Drama? Always. Excitement? You bet. Good Racing? It sure looks like it!
I have a few goodies for those that follow this website with any regularity… LOTS of photos from all the tests, the first photos to appear (on this site) of BrawnGP and many many more then previously seen of Lewis Hamilton.
Algarve Testing: 19 Mid/High res Photos
Jerez Testing: 12 Mid/High res Photos
Barcelona Testing: 23 Mid/High res photos
Finally, lets not forget why we all love this sport. It brings, me in particular, so much joy. I love to share my passion for it, and hope you feel the same excitement I do in the days before the Australian GP. I know I will be watching sitting like a kid on christmas as the cars start their engines up for the practice sessions this friday morning (EST).
