All bets are in and the season officially started today. I don’t have cable anymore so I had to figure out how to watch the race on the Internet. The live stream started in the nick of time…just as the light turned green. I watched the whole race in Polish…didn’t understand much except when Robert Kubica pitted…announcers got all excited.

The starting grid changed little except Alonso overtook Massa on the second turn. Massa could have easily blocked him but it would have been too undiplomatic for the first race as teammates.

No refueling rules are making this interesting to watch. Pit stops are incredibly quick and in Polish TV the on screen timer starts when the cars enter pit lane and stop when they exit…much more valuable info in my opinion.

17 laps in… Vettel is still ahead and pitted followed by Massa. Looks like Vettel will win this thing. Nico Rosberg is holding Schumacher back quite well.

My two other Brazilian hopefuls are out… Di Grassi and Senna… very disappointing start for their F1 careers…would have been nice if they had at least finished the race.

Hamilton flew past Barrichello on the straightaway…sign that the Cosworth engine is still not up to snuff…at least in my opinion.

Hamilton is holding Rosberg back…I’m impressed with Rosberg right now. Massa keeps setting fastest lap but still behind Alonso.

Lap 23 and a very nice fight for 9th place between Barrichello and a Toro Rosso car… I don’t understand Polish!

Jenson Button is faster than Schumacher and is gaining on him.

Will post this and continue later..
