FORMULA 1 2009: ALONSO FINISHES 6TH IN MELBOURNE















The Formula 1 season kicked off in Melbourne AUSTRALIA (see the photo of
the 2009 drivers above
), the result & the message of the race were that there
is a “new sheriff” in town, the F1 town. The Ross Brawn team (the phoenix that
rises from the Honda ashes) has a technological advantage (KERS?) that has
literally left the rest of the F1 teams smelling their fumes. Lastly, speaking of
teams, Toyota will be giving a serious fight as they too have done their
homework.

(Winner - Jenson Button)


















The Brawn team got off to a dream start doing the “double”; finishing first
& second, that is, Jenson Button & Ruben Barrichello. The rest memorized the
backend of the controversial Brawn cars, they where Hamilton (McLaren) who
finished third & put in a superb Champions race - quiet incredible, & T.Glock
who ended fourth place.

(Near miss!)














Spanish two times World Champ FERNANDO ALONSO pulled out of 10th
place on pole, survived a near crash in the first lap & made good work to
eventually finish in 5th place. The Renault team has some work to do still as the
good times in the off season practice was encouraging but not “real”.

Next race – Malaysia – Sepang: 03/04/2009
