F1 2013 Part One - how was it for you?

[Life Saab Itch]

Spot on. Nothing more to be said really.

especially agree about Bottas and Vergne.

Those two showed such promise and Bottas was quicker than Maldonado in every practice session he did last year.

Generic Vergne has been less noticed by the media than Ricciardo, but seems to gather.just as many, if not more points

A super summary there, Gaz. You've left little to debate!

I would add that my overall impression is "Better than expected".
I was falling out of love with F1, but increasingly I'm finding myself tuning in "just to see the start" and remaining gripped for the whole race.

There have been some cracking races this season, and some edge of the seat moments with close passes and real racing on the track. You can almost forget the contrived nature of KERS, DRS and the fail-o-matic tyres when it generates racing as good as we have seen.

^ This, all this.

Sums up my experience perfectly so far

A great summary Gaz, it's nice to read a well put together, thoughtful post for once on here without subtle fanboi snipes.

Fantastic summary Gaz - completely agree with everything you have written, a very good overview of the season so far.

This comment made me chuckle,
"Van Der Garde. This chap always seems to be in the way when the blue flags are waived, though if he didn't he probably wouldn't get a mention by the commentary."

Struggling to find anything to disagree with in that summary.

I`ve thoroughly enjoyed the season so far, some great races with a couple of dull ones thrown in to keep the moaners happy...

I`m really looking forward to the second half of the season.
