With no real drive to do anything productive this morning I decided to waste time and poke around one of pages that keeps stats on this blog and see how some people were finding this page. There were a few interesting searches that brought people to this fine Formula One blog.
The favorite search was "jenson button beard" which has led peoples to my page at least 10 times in the past month. Last year the winner was Nick Heidfeld and his beard. This year Jense is storming all aspects of the F1 world!
The only other search that came back multiple times was "lauda jokes" which was searched three different times over the past 4 weeks by at least two people.
Here are some other searches:
"video did not the death of the old devil"
"usa f1 ecclestone"
"usgpe"
"usgpe contacts"
"blogspot superass"
"michael fucking schumacher"
"mclaren's devil horn"
"nicke lauda"
"the wee scot stewart"
"scott speed lashes franz tost"
"nick lauda senna's"
"punishmax"
"sex in nazi camp"
"frank william on myspace"
...and then there is my favorite:
"my big dick"
How about all that?

Ross Brawn may be Jesus Christ...
Brawn said his magic wouldn't take hold until his second year at Honda and boy-howdy did it ever! The man aren't no liar! Just goes to show if you give a mediocre driver a good car they can do good shit with it!
As I am a Barichello fan I was pulling for him to do well and was absolutely appalled at that turd of a start he had to the race. I almost got angry at him, but the old goat proved he still has some fight in him as well as proved the Brawn GP car could take a lickin' and keep on tickin' as he got into quite a handful of melees during the race!
I was also impressed with the pace of the Red Balls car, Vettel holding down the fort till the end of the race when he got over protective and took himself and the Koob out. As much as I pull for Vettel, I can't say I wasn't clapping my hands and talking shit to him/the TV after he fouled up. I've got the hand the kid some credit for him immediately getting onto the radio and taking full blame for the incident, though he need not call himself an idiot. He's just a passionate young racer... but I wasn't heartbroken as the Vettel/Koob incident brought my old friend Rubens back into P2 and I was secretly hoping for that.
Until his run in with Vettel I was also very impressed with Kubica's performance. The guy did a good race and proved that he is in fact a great racer. Heidfeld and his beard are worthless and the only reason he's still with BMW is the fact that he's a Kraut.
Hamilton did a hell of a job too, hanging in there and charging up to 4'th place.
As a Toyota owner I was happy to see Truli slot into P3 due to perseverance and good luck (my Toyota is named Jarno, after Truli). When picking my Fantasy F1 guys I almost went with Truli but decided to go with less likely choices. Only Heidfeld proved me wrong, though that wasn't a surprise to me.
The Ferrari's came off as plain pathetic. That's it.
Overall I must give props to Brawn GP, the Toyota drivers whom both started from pit lane and finished P3 & P5, as well as old Lewis Hamilton who started from the dead end of the grid.
I was right... this year's race was better than the last and for the exact right reasons. I'm surprised the FIA pulled these rule changes off with out having them hamper the race and flopping all over the floor making the sport look bad and boring.
Good job to all!

Brawny & The Killer B's
I have a feeling this season is going to be even better than last season. I'd like to say that this upcoming race is going to be better than last seasons, but I doubt that in the sense of all the failure and unpredictability of the previous season opener. I'm still wowed by the massive amount of failure and epic destructiveness of that race. It would be quite pleasant if this race was as exciting but for different reasons.
It was VERY nice to see the two Brawn GP cars qualify 1 & 2 today. I was hoping old Barrichello would win pole, but maybe there's a tiny chance he can win the race. I'd like to see that old dog win 1 more race before he retires.
Either way, I hope the Brawns score a 1-2 tomorrow as on Monday I decided just for the hell of it to set my Fantasy F1 choices as the two Brawn cars (and Nick Heidfeld for further giggles) and Brawn as the constructor for winners.
As always the first GP of the year is always a doozy but this year it might not be just because people are driving wild.
I wonder how the guys in the board room at Honda feel about this, as they paid for this car but no longer have the branding.
For some reason I almost felt bad for Ferrari and McLaren. I don't know why, but I did. I'm glad they are lagging behind, but still, I sort of feel for them though they will bounce back soon enough to their "rightful" places I assume.
Not that these thoughts to follow are of much news or surprise to any F1 fan but I was amazed at the lack of performance from McLaren & Ferrari. I had a feeling they weren't going to be on the first two rows, but I did not foresee the Ferrari's in P7 & P9 and was really flabbergasted to see the McLaren's in P14 & P15.
While it was said Hamilton's car suffered a problem, the way the SpeedTV team announced it was that "He lost all drive" as the reason he didn't even go out in Q2. While I knew they didn't mean in the metaphorical sense, it still made me laugh, thinking if he had "lost all drive" and decided the weekend was a throw away.
I'm not happy about the race starting so late for a few reasons: A) Even as a TV spectator all the shadows suck. I can only imagine how lame it must be for the drivers. B) They moved the race to a later time to help the European TV viewers out yet now for me to be able to watch it live, the damn race won't even start till 2am. This isn't really a problem for me as it is 553am as I write this and I've yet to go to sleep, but the principal of it all irks me. I liked it better when it started at 11pm or midnight or whenever it did last year.
Some other things that caught me by surprise were the semi-lack of performance from Williams and Toyota (the other "rogue diffuser" teams). After all the hubub I figured at least one driver from each team would be in P3 & P4. However we have a Red Bull & a BMW. Interestingly none of the guys in P1 thru P4 are running KERS on their car which I also found curious.
Anyhow, as with last year's Melbourne grid, this year's grid is fantastic and even better than the 2008 grid!!! I do look forward to the madness that will ensue!

Super Brawn GP & USGPE
How about that... Ross Brawn now is a stakeholder of the old Honda F1 team and now has a F1 team named after him. In all honesty, I didn't see that one actually panning out. I figured for sure a large company of some sort or a Richard Branson would end up buying the team. Good for Brawn and company. Now they just have to make it work!
Another thing that I didn't expect was to see the mighty Rubens Barrichello back in a F1 car either. How fun. While I think Rubens might as well throw in the towel, it is nice to see him back for another season in some way. Not that I'm against Bruno Senna being in F1, but it does make sense for Rubens and Button to team together since they are the most experienced couple on the grid (according to grandprix.com)
I find it funny that when the USF1 team was announced a few weeks back it was mentioned Bernie Ecclestone was all about the idea, yet he then made them change the name to USGPE standing for US GP Engineering. That just irks me since FOM doesn't even own the F1 name. Way to help out the little guy Bernie. The team had to tack on "engineering" to the name since Tony George is thought to own the rights to USGP, even though he doesn't currently have a USGP to run.
Gah!
