3 blown engines in 1 weekend.
What gives?
Alonso had a nice run going too. I was itching to see him pounce Bunsen. Sauber must have been peeved knowing that his team's day way over after ten laps.
Alonso and Petrov were the drivers of the race.
The reason why Alonso's engine went is because he was overriding the gearbox problems through managing the gears with the engine revs.
This is a really gifted individual and unfortunately for him the engine lasted until two laps from the end.
It is early days in the championship and I still reckon he is going to win the 2010 title.
Jenson and him had a good dice. He had his gearbox problem and Button had to chage tyres too early and was around 2 seconds off the pace of those ahead, including his teammate Hamilton.
3 blown engines (and a poor strategy in the Qualy) but still on top in both championships, and Alonso once again proved what a great driver he is. I am quite confident that Ferrari it's going to win a lot this year :DQuote:

The problems with strategy are still there as well, it's just that it's more difficult to get things wrong when the strategy options are far more limited.
I think so as well, but I am a bit disappointed with the weekend. It seems that Ferrari still need an improvement in reliability and strategy and the fact that McLaren also messed up Saturday is little consolation.Quote:

But.
I don´t think he will do better than Kimi in his first year with Ferrari.
If he does just as well as kimi in his first I'm satisfied.Quote:

Without the appeals in the end of the season, hopefully ;)Quote:

Is it the engine or the chassis design (cooling?) since the engines are frozen, they should be the same as last year.Quote:

I wonder, when will Alonso get fed up of watching the sight of Massa's rear wing. He has done it for two races in a row and shame Massa left the door open in Bahrain or it would have been three. Sure Alonso has had some disadvantages in races and he seems to be taking it quite calmly at the moment with potential thoughts like "well I might be behind him today, but over a full season I'll beat him anyway", but can such laid-back attitude last forever? :p :
Yes, jens, he has nowhere to go. He can't screw his relationship with another team...
Italian cars are never bulletproof. Beautiful and fast, but certainly not bulletproof :D .Quote:

Things can change quickly. Development pace will be most important and I wouldn't bet against McLaren to win it, either.Quote:
