2011 F1 Preview

A nice analysis of the likely hierarchy before the first race in Australia. The big headline is that Red Bull is still quicker than Ferrari (~0.4 sec/lap), while Mclaren appear to be struggling.

Figured this would be a good place to put this. I transcribed the intro from the 2010 Season Review.

They exist in a world beyond ours
where man and machine become one
60 years since the odyssey has started
and the age of the racing machine had begun.
Decades followed of emotions
pushed to limits in the pursuit of the acclaimed number One.
But it takes only the link of the eye
for the perfect drive to become undone.

In the beginning their fame was only whispered
by those who stole a glimpse of the chosen.
But now their fame is embraced by millions
as they watch the screens every day of the sun.
In life there is nothing beyond them
their spirit will endure til kingdom come.

Their feats remain on the lips of the followers
as they whisper this is formula 1.
