Not since November has the sporting calendar looked so good. Nay, great! Hot on the heels of the IPL kicking off this weekend, it will also be F1 time. I’m so happy!

Not having kept abreast of all developments over the last couple of months, I must admit, my focus is not that good at present. However, I will still hazard some predictions.

“It must feel so strange to have the teacher’s pet standing above you while you are trying to get on with your own new programme. Suffocation or what?”

Hm. So do you think it will be Kimi driving this season or it will be Schumi ‘ghost driving’?
