F1

The Formula 1 season started last weekend with the first race in Bahrain (Sakhir circuit).This year many of the rules have
changed which led to a discussion about the rationality of the rules. The most significant rule is that the cars will not fuel during the race. This makes the cars look more stupid than before. The over 200liter tank looks huge combined with a 3meter wheelbase! This year 3 new teams "landed" F1. The teams are Virgin, Lotus, and Hispania Racing Team (HRT). Lotus made a "comeback" after being many years out from F1. The new teams were far from the top teams. This led to a discussion about the safety of F1. The new cars are many seconds slower than the others and you could say that they were racing in a different race. We will see later can the new teams develop their cars faster. Ferrari and Red Bull are the best teams right now and Mercedes GP+ Mclaren are coming a little behind. We will see what the new teams and the rules will bring with them. The next race is in Australia, Melbourne, which results and events my next blog will tell about!
