F1 Bahrain

The first dry, incident free race of the season gave us a chance to judge true comparative pace of the the front runners. Brawn GP is obviously still the leader but Red Bull and Toyota put on a good show to give us three different teams on the podium. It is the unpredictability that is making this season so enjoyable.

McLaren is definitely improving and might be back on the podium soon. Ferrari finally scored some points. I'll bet there must be some relief to get that monkey off their back. There was some good wheel banging action several times during the race, and yet not a single incident which took any cars out the race. The reliability was also quite astonishing, with only one retirement given the extreme heat.
