Lewis Hamilton - Post Race Interview - Bahrain Grand Prix

The 2010 Formula 1 season started today with the Bahrain Grand Prix this morning.

Fernando Alonso won after Sebastian Vettel's car started having some mechanical issues midway through the race. Felipe Massa finished second and my favorite Lewis Hamilton finished third. Yay!

I think it's going to be tough for McLaren again this year -- once again they were penalized for some design issue with the car which they had to remove. Ferrari looked really strong, and Mercedes GP (now with Michael Schumacher) were also solid.

The big rule change this year is no refueling in the pitstops -- which in theory will have slower times in the beginning, then a race to the finish if your tires are still holding up. Also, there are new teams this year: Lotus and Virgin -- and their cars suck. It looks like they are going to be lapped every single race this season.

Go Lewis!
