Formula One is the only sport I follow but I follow it with gusto.
Everything else is, well, just a game.

As a competitive event, it was a snoozer. I was most intrigued by
the team's responses to the new regulations and the battle between
some of the back-markers.

There are going to be lots of new colors on the podium this year.
I like that a lot -- even though I am a devout Ferrari Tofosi.

Agreed. HHF, I am sure, thought little Ruebens would back
down -- as he has in the past. I just wish it had been someone
other than HHF -- which I like quite a lot and want to see in the
points big time.

And both Minardis finished the race!!!

That new car is beautiful! The side pod intakes, viewed from the
front, look like the old NACA ducts that were used on my 308!
I guess air is still air. :-)
Ferrari managed to add 50mm to the front wing and make it
look like that was their intent all along! Beautiful -- especially in white.
