Do not wonder, Kimi's is no match for Romain right now. Maybe he'll come up to speed again later in the season.

Well, one good thing about today is that people aren't going to make a fuss of the Maccas not having a stepped nose anymore.

For you guys to write off ferrari, and put predictions like 10th on the grid, or lower, is just lack of objectivity, or wishful thinking.

ioan, if Kimi is not a match for Romain now, when will he? It's not like Romain is a driver with tons of experience - he's only driven in 7 Grand Prix, and that was three years ago!

It's not that Kimi is slow. Perhaps he'll need time to settle, but today's performance was merely pathetic. He's a F1 World Champion and he's not meant to be beaten by Grosjean, let alone being humiliated by him, as has been the case today. How long before the motivation whispers are heard all over the place again?

Now, now, gloomy. Be nice to our Ferrari expert. ;) He's having a tough enough time already. :D :p :

I'm just glad that the prettiest car on the grid is also the fastest.

Well Felipe did beat Kimi, so why wouldn't Romain do it too? He might not have as many F1 GPs behind him, but he's got tons of racing experience, and besides being crashy he was also very fast last time in F1, if he matured enough he can do well now.
And BTW I am not a Grosjean fan, but he did great today.

He made a mistake, simple as that when pushing hard. As did mr.0,6 tenths Alonso. Unless you are mentally retarded (are you?), you should not view that as lacking motivation.
In fact, the only ones talking about motivation issues are those people who should be isolated from society.

Can I just say that it was really enjoyable to watch Ferrari today, I really hope it only gets worse for them and luca di montezumas (revenge) will break many TV-sets
