It was announced on Monday that the Bahrain Grand Prix was to be postponed following the instability of the country at present. Melbourne will now host the race, taking fans back to when it was the ‘one and only’ season opener.
A blessing in disguise could be one way to describe the situation – it causes a two week delay before the first race but does promise to provide one of the most exciting season openings of the modern era.
Bahrain failed to excite last year, despite changes to the circuit, causing many to doubt the entertainment value of rule changes in 2010. However, Melbourne proved that F1 hadn’t become boring and lifeless, paving the way for a fabulous year of racing.
To many, myself included, the chance to watch the drivers battle it around Albert Park is exciting. Fingers-crossed it will give the 2011 season the start it deserves after a thrilling end to 2010.
