Great F1 Opening

It's a great F1 season opening race in Australia. No doubt the most consistent driver won the race, and there are no short of incidents during the course of race as well.

I deeply feel lucky and unlucky for Kimi Raikkonen. Lucky is that he managed to avoid all the incidents happened during the opening stage, and also he manage to clawed back to 3rd place at one stage of the race, giving the position he started with.

Then unfortunate incident happened to him when he outbrake himself when trying to overtake Heiki Kovoleinen. Since then his race was as good as over, but worse was still to come. He experiencing a suspected mechanical problem, when he retired about 5 laps from chequered flag. Just when he thought he's about to get the last point of the race, he was informed that another retired driver, who manage to drove his scarlet car out to track again just to made that few extra lap.

So same old story for Kimi. Luck just wasn't on your side today, but with a prospective new engine, gearbox and new car available for the next GP in Malaysia, I'm sure you'll be as compatetive as ever, and you'll stand the strongest chance to win because weather in Malaysia is not so kind to those used engine, as I suspected and heard off.

However, we shall all embrace for a great Formula One season to kick start, and let's enjoy the races and have a small prediction of who will win the Malaysian GP next weekend?
