So I watched the first F1 GP of the season on tape(it was shown live here at 10:00 PM -- I had something else to do though and watched it a couple of hours later).
Boring.
Michael Schumacher (who I must admit grudgingly is clearly the best driver in F1) running in the what is clearly the best car in the field lapped everybody up to 6th place or so and might have even have lapped farther up if he hadn't let up in the last 4 or 5 laps.
All I can hope is that some miracle happens so that by the German GP some competition exists. It doesn't look promising though.
