Papa didn’t let me stay up all night to watch the Australian Grand Prix so I had to watch the rerun on RTL this morning. I also managed to watch it again this afternoon at Papa’s parents house on ITV.

I was very happy for a change. Last season wasn’t that good but this one looks promising. I of course was very pleased to see Lewis Hamilton do so well in his first race. I wish him all the luck for the rest of the season.

To be honest, my first year of supporting McLaren in Formula 1 hasn’t been that exciting, given it’s been the first season we haven’t won a race in over a decade. However, with Lewis Hamilton coming to McLaren as probably the best British driver in a generation (my papa told me that) and the sheer joy to see my namesake and the man whom I was named after doing some testing and development work with the team, it’s really looking up.

Oh, and that Spanish guy is driving for us who is apparently quite good too. Sorry, not too keen on him, so come on Lewis.

Well, finally the Formula 1 season has finished with a rather good race in terms of driving if not the result. I’m already waiting for the next season to start - I’m afraid it’s going to be a very long wait. Hopefully McLaren will have some better results next year and Lewis Hamilton will be driving because I’m not too keen on the other guy who needs to shave his eyebrows.

Oh well, I guess it was coming but it’s sad to see Kimi leave McLaren for Ferrari. On a plus note, Lewis Hamilton is going to test an F1 car soon so perhaps he will be stepping up. Hopefully in the McLaren and not some lower end team. Would be good to see someone really challenge Alonso next year.
