Round 2 of real racing

So round 1 of the Formula 1 2008 calendar is in the books. To say I’m loving seeing Scuderia Toro Rosso with twice as many points as Ferrari is an understatement. I like an underdog. But lets be realistic. After Rd 2 I’m sure Ferrari will be pummeling STR. Won’t they? I mean, surely the race in Melbourne was just a fluke. Right? I mean, how often does Raikkonen make 2 bonehead errors in a single race? And Massa, what was up with his race? Did he actually think he had position on Coulthard to be “gifted” that ridiculous move on the inside? If it hadn’t been for so many safety car periods McLaren probably would have had a 1-2. Kovi deserved better. So did Bourdais, for that matter. So round 2, Malaysia, is tonight, er, early tomorrow morning here in the East US. I’d like to stay up and watch it live before my proper Easter Sunday schedule begins. Any predictions on this race? Ferrari has a lock on the front row and the McLaren duo have been penalized 5 spots apiece for blocking Heidfeld in Q3. Both Toyotas are in the top 10 but can they last? And what of Rosberg? Will he be able to charge through the field to take another podium? Hope so. I’d love to see Williams fighting at the top again.
