Therefore they never instructed drivers to change the mixture and the engines finally broke done.

As good as it sounds that's what you or your newspaper are saying. And as far as Ferrari ufficial info are concerned, I have not seen such detailed information coming from their PR's office. And since you don't work for them I have to take what you are saying with due precaution. Also, I think you are still trying to say that Ferrari's engineeres don't know what they are doing. However, since they won the world chmpionship, and according to you they don't know what they are doing, their victory makes those who lost (including McLaren) look even worse. Eh, eh,eh...

It is that, newspaper speculation, to be taken with a grain of salt, just like the pr you get from teams themselves, if anything teams have more to gain by not telling the truth. Unless the car is missing a wheel or has left hundreds of meters long trail of engine parts and oil behind it, it's hard to know why a car breaks down.

OK back on topic.
If this is a clean race between Ferrari and McLaren up front. And,
if McLaren can hold off Ferrari I would say they really have the measure
of the boys from Marrenello. Both Mclarens are on their second race,
after the torture of Oz'
Both Ferrari on new engines, and should be able to push harder!

I'm going out on a limb and saying that McLaren will be the constructors champions this year.

They need comunication lines between the garage and the pit wall?! And when these do not function they are to lazy to walk 10 meters and speak to each other???

This is starting to look like Ronspeak for "we were so dumb that we missed to tell him that he didn't have enough fuel for one more lap".

They never had such weather conditions during winter tests so it's very much possible that this functionality was not tested prior Melbourne in their GP simulations. Does this then mean Ferrari's engineer are not as good as other's, I don't know nor have I opinions of that matter where as for you it seems to be a sensitive case for some reason?
