62 days to go!!!!!!

Justin: Thats right. The BBC have a countdown timer showing how long we have to wait until first practice at Bahrain. It's just 62 days.....2 months essentially, give or take a week. Fantastic.

My co-blogger has been unusually quiet lately. Me thinks he needs to dump a fresh one out.

My 2010 season review DVD arrived yesterday and since then I have been looking back over what has to be the best championship ever! Watching the highlights over again reminded me of some of our best blogs of the year too.

A couple of fun points I noted from the DVD, which gave interviews some of us might have missed, or they may not have been shown at all when originally broadcast.

1) After Silverstone quali, where Vettel broke his new front wing and Red Bull plonked Webber's wing onto Vettel's car....Vettel grabbed pole.....in the press conference after quali Mark Webber was visibly furious. They were both asked "whats the deal on favouritism in the team given the wing situation?".....Vettel gestured to Webber to answer it first.....Webber said "The team got the result they wanted"......cue smirking from the little shit Vettel and Webber pouring a drink and slamming it down on the table....blimey.

2) After the team order fiasco in Germany, the driver press conference was possibly the most awkward I have ever seen. Massa first answered the question of team orders at Ferrari, Alonso then kept his head down and said "yep, same as Felipe"......blimey!

Elsewhere, there is plenty to discuss in the BBC F1 rumour column...so much so that I shall be quite lazy this time and just paste the link for our readers http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9344147.stm.

Now, to watch the special features on my F1 DVD.....which I will of course report upon soon!
