Red Bull Constructors Champion

I do not follow F1 as much as I used to, but this season has been very close and more interesting than usual.

So Red Bull win the constructors championship today, and of course in an Adrian Newey designed car. Ever since he left McLaren I thought he would not ever win with another team - just in pure budget terms. But Red Bull have risen into a top team and I am glad they have broken the monopoly of recent years, the sport desperately needed it.

Also in a season where Michael Schumacher returned but was unimpressive in the now midfield Brawn.

Formula 1 - Bahrain

The season starts in Bahrain. Alonso an easy winner, from Massa and a Ferrari 1-2. All became clear after Vettel's reliability problem. Mclaren a little disappointing, Schumacher beaten by his team mate.

Also the return of the world's quickest bet, first lap leader - pretty consistently the guy who has qualified on pole.

Looks like the rule changes on refueling could make for an interesting season.
