It finally happened. It took long enough, but it certainly makes the 2008 season somewhat more diverse than recent years.
In case you didn't know, Sebastian Vettel took the pole at Monza yesterday. It took most people by surprise, including me. This was the first surprise, only for me to discover Kimi Räikkönen, the reigning world champion, was not even in the top 10. He struggled back in 14th position ahead of the other surprise - Lewis Hamilton in 15th place. Both men have far superior cars underneath them, yet the 'customer car' of Ferrari, the STR beat them all.
It is a welcome change in my opinion. Hamilton is often cited as the fresh change, but when you think about it - he has the best car on the grid. Most of the current drivers could do what he is doing had they been given the same opportunities as that luckly kid. Hence Heikki Kovalainen will start the race in 2nd position. Mark Webber proved his worth once more, and will start the race from 3rd place. However he doesn't push hard enough and lacks 'race agression' which he needs to bring home the podiums.
I doubt anyone will read this, so I may write more later.

Opening Lap
Post One.
This blog is primarily about the all the gilts, glamor, the good and bad of Formula One Grand Prix Racing. This is not my first blog to appear on blogspot. However it will be my first opinionated blog.
I can tell that you already are thinking : "Not another retched opinion!" However, I will not be expressing my own personal opinion on matters concerning F1 for the most part. But what I gather from all over the world, from the fans of the most extravagant motorsport the world has known. If you are curious as to what I used to do, then pelase follow the link to my previous F1 blog. I abandoned this blog after a number of internet complications ealier this year, and the number of readers were falling - it was time for a change.
I will welcome any and all comment, whether it be agreeing to my comments that will be posted in the very near future, or comments of dislike or what have you.
I will start this blog officially at the end of this week (Sunday) and continue it as long as I feel there is something to be said, or something to simply 'put out there'.
In the mean time, please leave your mark on my current Poll. I will review the results on the 16/09/08. A new poll will take its place, so hurry!
I trust you will read and enjoy my thoughts of Formula Rodrrico.
