Countdown...

No not that one! There is less than a week to go until the 2009 Formula 1 season is underway and to be honest, the wait has been tedious.  A lot of changes have been made since the last season, from the shape of the cars themselves, to the safety car rules to KERS, which I will not explain. I was filled with relief to find out that the 'winner takes all' scoring system had been scrapped after the amount of uproar it had caused! Honda are no more and have been replaced with Brawn, who are doing surprisingly well in testing for the amount of experience they don't have.  Reports say that McLaren aren't doing as well as expected and are having a hard time with their car, although they haven't unveiled all the parts of their new car as of yet so time will tell what happens with that. 

The BBC will be broadcasting for the first time in years. I actually cant wait to watch the race without the interruption of ITV's adverts. Ahh I can hear the theme tune already..
