It's F1 weekend folks. For those of you who haven't been following me on Twitter that long this is the time when my tweet stream turns into mostly F1 related tweets! (But only on race weekends!)

This weekend's race is in Bahrain and as it's the first race of the season it cannot be missed! Plus we're already getting into controversy with McLarens new rear wing. If you're not following there is basically an air duct in the car which directs air through the rear wing, decreasing drag and bettering the cars straight line speed; all operated by the drivers knee.

Thoughts on the McLaren Rear Wing

As a relative newb to F1 I don't want to comment to heavily on this, but I want to say my piece on the matter. A number of teams have stressed that this is illegal and should be removed from the McLaren, even though McLaren liased with the FIA throughout the build process. In the eyes of the FIA, it's legal. I think the other teams are having a bitch-fit because they didn't think of it first.

I am very excited for the new F1 season, it's good to have Michael Schumacher back, great to have a "British" team and great to have something decent to watch on the TV now!
