Jensen buttons up the GP opener

Lewis catches up on 'Days Of Our Lives'
The long awaited season opener has been run and won by two time Aussie GP winner Jensen of the Buttons. So that's three wins at Albert Park for Jensen. I just love his 'steady as she goes' driving style, it's seems so.. so British and reminds me of Damon Hill's fast but very cool style behind the wheel. The straight line speed advantage of the Mercedes didn't work out for them which took some spice out of the race. Australia's Mark Webber forgot to top up the KERS before he left the garage but did manage the next best thing to a podium, fourth. Seb out-smarted Lewis and split the McLaren's. Maldonado bullied his way through the field taking out Grojean on his way. This guy is dangerous. Unfortunately Kimi had some melting moments in qualifying that started him back on the grid but he did get the old Renault fired up picking up quite a few places. I think the Renault/Lotus will be in there within a couple more races. Apart from Shuey and Nico having the DSR advantage if they all can keep the back wheels on the ground we should be in for a good season.
