Melbourne took on the task of staging the first GP of the 2011 season and did a pretty good job. Sure it&#8217;s a street circuit and doesn&#8217;t show up some of the real pace of the cars, and the new DRS systems couldn&#8217;t be used to their full potential but it was a good, interesting, and lively start to the year. I&#8217;m not sure that Bahrain would have offered the same experience.
So Vettel took his first win of the year and started his title defence in the best way possible, Hamilton showed that he&#8217;s not going to let Vettel get away if he can help it and Alonso showed that he is top dog at Ferrari. Button, Webber and Massa all had weekends that they would rather have gone differently but they all scored points which was important last year so they shouldn&#8217;t be as downhearted as guys like Kobayahsi [...]]]></description>

Korea was always going to be an odd event, the track wasn&#8217;t finished, the teams knew nothing about the surface and it had the specter of rain. What rain it was too, apart from causing the race start to be delayed an hour it meant that no one out there was confident &#8211; apart it seemed from Lewis Hamilton. Webber slipped in the conditions and Vettel&#8217;s car let him down again as Alonso was left to pick up the pieces and take a lead in the drivers championship.
The two McLaren drivers have almost ruled themselves out of the hunt now with fourth and twelfth and given the pace of their car which leaves the title race to Webber, Vettel, and Alonso. With Brazil and Abu Dhabi to come (both won by Red Bull last year) Webber must being feeling confident, though in the past Ferrari have held the upper hand [...]]]></description>

Love him or hate him Fernando Alonso is a great F1 driver, he soaked up tremendous amounts of pressure to secure a back-to-back victory for himself and Ferrari. He needed those points to give himself a hope in the title and now he&#8217;s only 9 points behind Mark Webber, that would be under two in last years system. Button is now 25pts off the pace but that&#8217;s still only a single race victory. With four races to go a DNF would probably be the end of the title chances unless everyone else suffers similarly. With races in Japan, Korea, Brazil and Abu Dhabi on the calendar and with some doubt surrounding the Korean GP there is simply no margin for error. 
The race itself took part under floodlight which is the norm for Singapore, which into it&#8217;s third year didn&#8217;t seem to prove an issue to the drivers as they [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re driving a Ferrari, Monza is the place you want to win, the Tifosi will celebrate you like a King &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t matter who you are, they may have cheered so loudly a few years ago when your engine expired when driving for a rival but all that is forgotten if your Ferrari takes the chequered flag first.
So Alonso gets another of the jewels for any Ferrari driver and it was all down to about 5 metres out of the pit lane, the team won the race not just Alonso, Buttons stop was about half a second slower than Alonso&#8217;s and that made all the difference. That&#8217;s not to say that the Spaniard couldn&#8217;t have overtaken Button on the track but I don&#8217;t see any reason to believe that he&#8217;d have been able to do something he hadn&#8217;t managed for the first two thirds of the race. But [...]]]></description>

With three races completed, Bahrain, Australia and Malaysia there have been three winners so far, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and Sebastien Vettel but it&#8217;s Felipe Massa who leads the Championship. It may be by only 2 points but it seems strange that a points system that was designed to give winning races more emphasis is being led by a driver who hasn&#8217;t won yet.
The table itself is very close with 9pts covering the first 7 drivers:



1. Felipe Massa
Ferrari
39


2. Fernando Alonso
Ferrari
37


3. Sebastian Vettel
Red Bull Racing
37


4. Jenson Button
McLaren
35


5. Nico Rosberg
Mercedes GP
35


6. Lewis  Hamilton
McLaren
31


7. Robert Kubica
Renault
30



Though I doubt this will hold all season it does mean that you can hold onto the people who are winning even if you don&#8217;t manage it yourself. I&#8217;m sure that Felipe Massa will be wanting to win and justify that position at the top but with all the different people who seem to be in with [...]]]></description>

Jenson Button gave a masterclass to the other drivers, he was the bravest man on the tyres and his smooth style meant that he could finish the race on the same tyres that that he drove 4/5ths of the race on. While all the other drivers were fighting and struggling on the worn tyres Jenson Button serenely drove on at the front on his way to his first victory at McLaren.
The race itself was a much better show than in Bahrain and it seems clear that it would have been even if there hadn&#8217;t been the rain at the start. The track lends itself more to overtaking than Bahrain though Michael Schumacher will probably disagree given the amount of time that he spent behind Jaime Alguersuari.
The Red Bulls suffered from mechanical failure again as Sebastien Vettel had a brake failure on his way to retirement and Mark Webber misjudged a [...]]]></description>

The Australian GP is now less than a week away and with all the main teams having had a week to digest what happened in Bahrain what can we expect from the various players? Will the Ferrari&#8217;s run away with the race again? Will the Red Bull have and an answer? Will Michael Schumacher be on the pace? Will the McLaren be fast enough to challenge?
It seems that the Australian GP is a much less predictable track though it does seem to show who&#8217;ll win the championship as over the last ten years only twice has the winner not gone on to clinch the title. It seems unlikely that the Ferrari will romp away with the victory this time out as the other teams may have the pace here. The McLaren&#8217;s rear wing won&#8217;t help them too much but any time counts.
Michael Schumacher should be more on the pace here [...]]]></description>

Sebastien Vettel stormed his way to second place in the World Championship in 2009 and he&#8217;ll want to go one step futher in 2010. The competition this season will be stronger for sure, McLaren and Ferrari won&#8217;t be off the pace and Mercedes will be in close company too so he&#8217;ll have to perform better than last year. 
Red Bull seem quietly confident about their car, it has done well in winter testing but rarely did it grab the headline times &#8211; it did run faster more consistently than some though. It seems that they won&#8217;t miss out on any technical oversights like last year with the double diffuser &#8211; they would probably be world champions if they had used one from the first race in 2009.
To beat Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher to the title Vettel needs to start the season with the same raw [...]]]></description>

Lewis Hamiton enters the 2010 season as one of the two favourites to bring home the title, along with Alonso. Last season he started as the favourite though that was quickly revised after we saw how slow the McLaren was, so it&#8217;s all down the car right? I&#8217;m not so sure.
This years McLaren looks fast, it&#8217;s topped the times at the last two tests though not by much. It seems that a lot of teams are on the pace this year and it&#8217;s not going to be a simple matter of my car is faster than yours. At least four of the teams have quick cars, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull &#8211; Force India and Sauber have also shown themselves to be fast during the tests. This means that we might see more honours shared this year and that you might have to fight for every place, something a [...]]]></description>
