It's been an even season for F1 this year. Multiple winners and the top three separated by not many has been good to see. If Vettel was harboring thoughts of running away with the title a third time, he may have to hold his bulls. Bernie's efforts to standardize technology has shifted the focus from the cars to the men at the wheel quite significantly and one hears less grudges about car pace and downforce. Only if they could make over taking a tad easier. Though the top contenders may have come close, the tailenders are grouped together too. Looks like Red Bull, Lotus, Ferrari and McLaren are still in a different league. I haven't been able to catch a lot of live races this time around but strategies do seem to be playing a bigger role. Pit stops and fuel levels have made and marred and few wins and that is welcome as an additional dimension to the sport which can get dreary at times. I wonder what Schumacher gets out of running these days. He is an absolute legend with achievements unparalleled and it seems all that is getting besmirched by his also ran showings. May be he wants to take Mercdes to the heights he took Ferrari. Easier said than done. He may yet be the phoenix but I wouldn't bet for it. Would be interesting to see who revs it up this season to emerge victorious. Till then let's savor the fight.
