After watching last weekends race in Australia, a few things come to mind. Force India is a legit. Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel are still the bully on the schoolyard. Ferrari and McLaren have switched positions on the season start, when compared to last year; Ferrari looks sharp and has a great car. Massa lead the race for a period of time, seemingly out driving Alonzo much like the end of last year...but as usual Alonzo got the last word. What McLaren was doing during that rain drenched Q2 with Sergio's tires still boggles the mind. Their car is off pace and apparently they've tried to reinvent the wheel instead of evolve the 2012 car. Hams hasn't lost a step and Petronas Mercedes might have the fastest car on the track very soon. The confusing thing is how quickly the Petronas cars drop off the pace after starting/qualifying so well over the past couple years; I hope they can figure that out. Last but not least, Kimi is the man. Malaysia should be another firefight.

In other news, look forward to Indycars in the streets of Florida and solid replays. Enjoy your weekends.
