Crash, Bang bang!!!

Crash, Bang bang!!! Thats just how the race began at Albert Park in Melbourne. No sooner had the 5 lights had blinked to herald the begining of the Formula 1 season , the cars at the back of grid bumped into one another and many of them retired even before take off. The Force India team looked more like Air Deccan team rather than the famed Kingfisher. Maybe its because of the Air Deccan takeover, we'll never know.
Lewis started off the race just as he had planned, with no hitches whatsoever. Robert Kubica gave him quite a fight initially, only to lose it towards the 47th lap. This season threw up new faces on the Pdium, joining Lewis there were Nick Heidfeld from BMW and Nico Rosberg Williams.
Ferrari had a poor start to this season with both drivers not completing the race. Kimi started off well, gaining quite a few positions and almost reaching a 2nd position, when an unwanted overtaking manouvere did him in. His engine troubles seemed to palgue him again. Massa too seemed to have some problems, when at the start of the race he plunged into a barrier and had to be rushed to the pits.
Now as I head to the chequered flag in ALbert Park, all roads lead to Sepang cicuit in Malaysia, the season just seems to be getting better!!! So see you all at Malaysia....
