I know what you're saying. I spent the whole race waiting for Kimi to attack, but McLaren simply had the fastest car out there today :wtf: |

Hamilton is amazing. Ron Dennis needs to give him a medal or something because he made it happen. If Hamilton didn't pass Massa in the 2nd corner, Alonso's win would have been uncertain.
I'm really suprised at Ferrari their tactics without the presence of Ross Brawn. Ferrari used to be so good with pitstops. I figured Massa would easily pass Heidfeld during the pitstops considering the speed advantage he has, but nope. Ferrari is not the same team as they used to be. :confused: ( Does anyone remember the brilliant move of Ross Brawn were he completely changed the stragety of MS into a 4 stop stragety during the race which gave MS the win over Alonso at the 2004 french GP? )
Kimi said he needed to compromise too many things ( engine problems? ) and he lost too much speed because of those things, he didn’t have as much speed as Massa. So it's going to be interesting when Kimi has got a Ferrari that's 100% working to see where the Mclaren's really are compared to Ferrari. |

I must admit the McLarens did a very good job, however I think we have yet to see Ferrari at 100%. Indeed, Ross Brawn and Schumacher have taken a chunk out of the team but nevertheless they can still do the job to win.
If Massa didn't have the very very poor start (so dissapointed) the race would've been very different and I think Ferrari would've come out on top. Last 8 laps or so Kimi closed a 5+ sec gap down to 0.5s on Hamilton, the Ferrari's were better under braking and in straight line speed which made Kimi make up ground while Massa had an awful drive.
This season is going to be a cracker..good old Ferrari vs McLaren, tbh the other teams look nowhere near them! |

The best part of this season, is the fact that we have four racers at the front of the grid.
It is in fact nice to see McL vs Fer. The two most successful F1 teams, back at the top, and willing to fight. |

Hamilton's pass on the two Ferrari's in the first corner was awesome.
His non-move on Massa a few laps later that tricked him into outbraking himself was even better. That's veteran racecraft there.
It's too bad Kimi's motor wasn't 100%. 3rd was a good result for him, regardless of what Massa did. I was surprised Massa couldn't get back to 4th though. |

grr, wish I saw the race
Watched the live timing but obviously you don't see these things. The replay was at the same time as the cricket that night so I didn't get to see it.:( |

They'll get 5th place for sure unless the Williams are really strong, the question is if they'll be able to challenge the Ferraris and Macs. I don't think so.. yet. Maybe in a couple races. |

| BMW is the only team that can sort of compete with Ferrari and McLaren by the looks of things so far. From Renault being 2 time world constructors its poor to see their name drop down the list. |
