The Drivers points table really is a lot different then anyone could have imagined.
When was the last time Michael Schumacher was sitting 11th in the points? I also can't stop thinking about how well Red Bull racing is doing this year! Ford much be kicking themselves that they gave up so soon and sold the team off! I'm sure the new qualy rules are to blame but you can't dispute the results! Schumacher should be able to come from the rear of that pack and finish well. He's shown that so many times before!
Toyota is quite a story this year as well. No one would have expected that either! Williams and BMW still have a lot of work to do to catch from last year. the only thing I can say is that now that many of the teams are owned by big auto corporations, there is a lot more money being pushed around. This will no doubt make for some serious competition this year. One that we haven't seen in many, many, years!

I am a bit letdown with McLaren though...I thought they'd be able to get podium finishes on both races, but didn't happen yet. Congrats to Renault and Toyota that had a great start so far aswell.
