Just watched my first F1 session of the year. Ferrari may have won a fortnight ago but, over a single lap, the Mercedes cars still seem in a league of their own. It was also good to see how quickly the McLarens are catching up. Perhaps by Suzuka, they can challenge for victories!

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
