Be warned, if you’re not into the Formula 1 then you may want to skip this post!! I’ve been writing this post over both Saturday and Sunday so may be lengthy!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For most people it’s a new era of Formula 1 because of the regulation changes. The engines are now turbo V6 instead of regular V8 – the cars now less noisy which is a shame. The main reason it’s a new era for me is because my main man Mark Webber<\/a> is no longer racing.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new season of F1 kicked off with the practice sessions on Friday. I must admit that I’m not hardcore enough to watch the practice sessions so for me the action starts with qualifying on Saturday.<\/p>\n

First destination this year is Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia. Because I’m in the UK there’s a significant the difference so quali show was starting at 5am. Even though Little Miss did wake at 4am we didn’t get up to watch if live which meant I had to avoid Facebook etc until after i had seen the show. When we did get up at 8am, disaster! – the show hadn’t recorded! Thank god we have Sky+!!<\/p>\n

My man Webber<\/a> (an Aussie) retired last year but his seat in the Red Bull was taken over by another Aussie by the name of Daniel Ricciardo<\/a>. Before quali I’m undecided who I’ll support (other than Alonso of course). I like Massa<\/a>. I have a soft spot for Massa<\/a> because he had a bit of a raw deal at Ferrari always having to play second fiddle to Alonso – especially since Massa<\/a> was there before him. Also he won the 2008 championship for 5 seconds and then Hamilton gained one position on the last corner and snatched the championship away from him. There’s a photo of him crying when he finds out. It wrenches at your heart!<\/p>\n

Anyway I digress. We watched quali after getting up and if you know me at all you will know that I can’t stand Vettel (because of the “Multi-21” incident in Malasyia last year). So when he failed to make it into q3 I got rather excited! Even more so was the fact that his team mate – Ricciardo<\/a> – qualified in 2nd place! So I believe that I may be supporting Danny Ricciardo<\/a> this year! He may not be Mark Webber but he’s still an Aussie!<\/p>\n

So quali results were Hamilton on pole, Ricciardo<\/a> in 2nd and Rosberg in 3rd. Alonso qualified in 5th and like I said Vettel in 13th! It wash a setup for a very interesting race!<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n

The race show was starting at 5am and Little Miss was up for a feed at 4.30am. The hubby wanted to get up and watch the race live but I didn’t want to disrupt Little Miss’s routine. So I stayed in bed and he went to watch it. Little Miss and I slept until 7am and hubby came up to help me get her ready for the day. He came into the bedroom saying “keep smile off face” which meant I knew something interesting had happened in the race! Before even getting downstairs I’d found out that Vettel had a DNF!<\/p>\n

We sat down to watch the race and it was a good one! My favourite moment of course was Vettel’s DNF! Someone said to me once that I had a nasty streak in taking pleasure from other people’s misfortune but it’s only when it comes to Vettel! I even took a photo showing it just for record!<\/p>\n

\nPoor Massa was taken out at the very first corner on the start. Kobyashi missed his braking point and ran into the back of him. I was so disappointed because I would have loved to see where he would have ended up in the Williams<\/a>. Especially since Bottas in the second Williams<\/a> managed to finish 6th. He might have ended up higher up if he hadn’t smashed his wheel into the wall and had to pit!<\/p>\n

Williams<\/a> are looking good this year! And I am so glad that things are looking good for them because last year was an awful season for them! Williams<\/a> team has been around for donkey’s years and in its time was a championship winning team. I would love to see them getting back into the top teams. I think a part of the appeal of Williams is that there’s a lot of respect for Sir Frank Williams<\/a>. It’s a family team with his daughter Claire one being the team principal.<\/p>\n

Even better though was the fact that Ricciardo finished in 2nd place! The first Australian to be on the podium at the Australian Grand Prix. So I think I’m decided on supporting him for the rest of the season! Also it means I can still wear my Red Bull gear!<\/p>\n
