Dunno about that. The OzGP weekend was 35 degrees celcius + all weekend, when Ferrari mystifyingly forgot to turn up.

I hope we don't have another race where the polesitter wins again.

It was so hot at Albert Park that people were collapsing from the heat and had to be treated. I turned up the aircon and watched it on the telly.

Cooler weather maybe to Ferrari's engine benefit being it's second race
while Mac is on first race engine!

i bet that Kimi will pit after those 3 ahead of him.. he will clean the mclarens on the 1st pits but not massa.. he will have a safe distance

McLaren are better placed since Melbourne??? I thought that the BEST place is FIRST not second nor THIRD. Are these people thinking that the guy in first position is the guy is not who wins?

I think you misunderstood that sentence. IMHO the writer wanted to say that McLaren had more chance to beat Ferrari than they did at Sepang, Bahrain and Barcelona, the three races since Lewis's win at Melbourne. Of course, I am not a native English speaker so I could easily be wrong.
