Formula1 Spanish GP Recap

Short recap of today's race. It was a fairly exciting race. Well, except for any overtaking at the front of the field.

• Alonso has huge balls. He laid it all on the line going into the first corner to get past Massa, but instead ended up in the gravel trap and fourth place.
  
• Kimi has the worst luck. He always seems to get caught by mechanical failure. I still think he's faster than Massa, but maybe I'll have to start rethinking it.
• Scott Speed is in trouble. Speed still doesn't have that signature race where he does better than expected and finds a way into the points. It looked like he had a chance to beat expectations today until a spectacular tire failure.
  
• Pit problems are good TV. Today we had two exciting problems in the pits: Massa's fire and Heidfeld's wheel nut. It's those unexpected surprises that make F1 so enjoyable.
• Hamilton leads the points. But not for long if Massa keeps on this tear. Massa's poor performance in Australia under pressure from Hamilton seems like ages ago.

So it's off to Monaco with a tight championship race. I guess all things considered, that's a good season so far. I'd just like to see more overtaking (as I'm sure everyone would), but that's not likely at Monaco.
