Will the new season be All Hearts 'N Kisses for
Kimi Raikkonen, or when will the Honeymoon be Over with Alfa Romeo racing.

And I'm actually excited about the racing, Not so
much the Sport's leadership or the Derth 'O "Democratic" Countries on
the Schedule...
Aye Mateys', it's time to G-O Racin' again
Down Under in Bloody OZ', as the formula 1 Circus invades Melbourne, Australia
this weekend.
And although I'm actually pretty excited
about the start of another F1 season, ARSE-Sumedly this is largely due to Hope
Springing Eternally that we'll actually see some New Faces on the F1 Podium,
and more specifically, a Different F1 World Champion!
As the two Drivers
I absolutely Despise on the Grid are Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel!
Arguably the Sports two largest ARSEHOLES!
Yet that being said, I'm just really Hoping
that Anybody other than "golden Child," aka Lewis Hamilton wins the
title this year, even if the most likely culprit is 'lil Sid Viddle', nee Seb
Vettel, Eh?
Whilst at the very least I'm hoping la
Scuderia can stop the Silver Arrows crushing the Competizione yearly in thou
vaunted Constructors Championship, and keep 'em from tying Ferrari's streak of
six consecutive titles, a la Scuderia Ferrari's run between 1999-2004. Y'all
know when that Michael Schumacher Chap was Wide eye 'N Bushy-tail behind the
wheel.
Nope instead I'm more intrigued over how long
it'll take for Honda in the back of the Red Bull to claim its first victory in
ages for the mighty Japanese Automaker. Along with seeing how Danny Ric' and le
Reggie', nee Renault prosper. As I'll expect Renault to score a minimum of one podium
somewheres along the way.
While I'm pretty sure I've already covered the two
F1 Constructors changing names in the previous No Fenders rant...
And Thars' a total of four Rookies on the
Grid this year, All being graduates of the FIA Formula 2 Feeder Series, most
notably the Top 3 finishers from last year. Led by reigning F2 Champion George
Russell at the lowly Team Willy', nee Williams.
Followed by F2 Runner-up Lando Norris at
McLaren and third place finisher Alexander Alvin, the Sport's first Formula 1
Driver from Thailand Debuting at Scuderia; Err, Uhm Red bull Toro Rosso Honda.
Which isn't that a "double Negative?" Oh Never Mind!
With the fourth Rookie on the F1 Grid being
the only one of this Quartet who's already raced previously. As former GP2
Pilote' Antonio Giovinazzi, whom finished runner-up to that year's GP2
Series Champion Pierre Gasley, Deputized for Pascal Wehrlein at
Sauber at Melbourne and China in 2017, when the German was recovering from a
back injury.
Whilst many eyes will be focused upon the
return of whom I Oh So Cleverly nicknamed "the Krakow Kid," aka
Robert Kubica's return to the F1 Grid this year after an eight year absence.
Although I must say I have mixed emotions
over this. Being happy for Kubica's return to thou Pinnacle 'O Motor Racing,
nee Formula 1. I fear his time has come 'N gone, and it'll be very Sad to see
him trundlin' round the grid as Tail-gunner Charlie in the woeful Team Willy'
cars.
Meanwhile, per Tipicali, the freshest breath
on the F1 Circus is the always understated Monosyllabic "Iceman," aka
Kimi Raikkonen, now the Sport's Elder Statesman.
As Kimi in his usual
Finnish siloquy muttered We'll See when We Go Racing Where We Really Are!
As I couldn't have
said or typed it any better, Kimi. Since we're All ah-waitin' on Pins and
Needles the lights turning Green in Melbourne and seeing how the first race of
the new season Shakes Out...
