Read what you may (can) of the fact that Formula One currently uses four-stroke V8, naturally aspirated reciprocating engines and that that piece of information overrides all other considerations, human, which is why it is almost impossible to fathom a global TV audience of more than half a billion, especially when you consider that the 'sport' (hereafter referred to as sport), once stripped of grotesque details about engines and tyres, has a simple man in a highly complicated car navigating simple routes according to highly complicated rules, over and over again.

Nobody said it was going to be easy. When Mizzou joined the SEC, they knew it wasn't going to be easy. But they never imagined they'd still be looking for their first SEC win after three games into the conference schedule. Especially coming off of a game six matchup against conference cellar dweller Vanderbilt. So this week the Tigers strap it up again and hope to get that elusive first SEC win. Just one problem. There's a crimson colored runaway train heading down the tracks that just happens to be making its next stop in Columbus, MO.

The Malaysian downpour

What a race for Ferrari and Alonso.

No one really believed the car could be competitive, but Alonso made sure he stayed ahead of the pack in the rain soaked Malaysian Grand Prix. The inability of the car was visible by judging Massa's dismal 15th finish. Although Ferrari scripted a dream win here, utilizing the conditions well, they will have to make massive improvements to the F2012 to get anywhere close to the pace setters.

Australian Grand Prix : Looking back at Race

dhanraj.kotian — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:05:30 GMT

The first race of the season is always exciting.

Mclaren came out the best of the pack at Albert Park with a flawless display. All this while during the winter testing, they were the team without much fanfare about the new car. But good to see the Woking based team to win. Button and Hamilton seem like a good team as we really do not want an Alonso - Hamilton kind of rivalry between drivers, that just spoils the work of an entire team.

Moving on to Ferrari...
