"School of Brains and Brawn" - from the "Irresponsible Captain Tylor Ova" soundtrack, 2001

What a thrill today to see the newly-formed Brawn Racing Team F1 cars win first and second in today's first F1 race of the season, after starting in exactly the same positions in the first row of the grid! And Lewis Hamilton eventually managed to be declared the third-place finisher, despite not knowing that in time to appear with Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello on the podium immediately after the race.

Here's a link to the BBC's online F1 coverage.

What a fabulous start for a racing team that's risen out of the ashes of the former Honda F1 team. And they are our neighbors too, as they are based in nearby Brackley.

We just can't wait to see what the rest of this F1 season will bring!

And I was glad to see F1 television coverage return to the BBC. But did why oh why did they have to bring Martin Brundle over from ITV? Argh...
