The 2011 Catalunyian GP will probably go down in history as the best ever held at the circuit. Whilst I will admit that it was a good race by usual standards, I can’t help but feel continually short changed by the changes the 2011 season has brought.

The two top teams are simply too fast for anyone else. Whilst this has been true of nearly every season, I think the addition of DRS, KERS, and these stupid degrading tyres has made the gap so large that I can’t see anyone slower able to hold off the might of McLaren and Red Bull.

Does nobody else think it’s supremely troubling that Fernando Alonso stated after the race that he was simply out of position after a great start? Basically, driver skill was never going to be enough to beat Red Bull or McLaren.

I don’t know, I’m finding it difficult to get to grips with all the changes, and I do think it’s difficult to report on a sport you are passionate about when you don’t really care for the two teams on top. Today’s race was better than many past Spanish GPs and I can see why Red Bull and McLaren fans will be very happy at the moment.

The start was one of the best I have seen for a long time.

It all looked pretty tidy (and I must say extremely slow) from the initial camera angle. However, as Lewis Hamilton tried to move up the outside, and the Red Bulls squabbled with each other (Sebastien Vettel was the winner of that fight), Fernando Alonso expertly darted into tiny pockets of space to take and hold a phenomenal first place going into turn one.

Alonso had done extremely well coming from the dirty side of the track and this coupled with the huge reaction from the crowd really helped build a fantastic first lap atmosphere.

Further back, Michael Schumacher had also had a skilful start, but Jenson Button had struggled and conceded places.

The positions after one lap were as follows:
