Honestly I don't know. I can only hope that I would do the same.Quote:

I guess we will find out when and if something happens.
Sorry for that one. I take it back.Quote:

massa did not start the race from pole position. He was fourth.Quote:

It was interesting that when Heikki passed Alonso it was when Alonso ran onto the kerb/grasscrete and you could hear the engine scream as the tyres spun. Methinks last year that pass would not have happened as Alonso would not have lost traction, and Kimi would not have had his spin as he would have had engine braking.Quote:

Pace good, tactics need maybe an overhaul in the decision-making department, but I think it's too early to suggest major problems yet owing to their good pace and tyre usage.
Its obvious that Ferrari has a good racepace. But problem is same than last year, qualifying and reliability. And reliability is the biggest issue, because for example had Kimi not had reliability problems in quali and race, the outcome would have been completely different. So, whatever is causing that reliability problem, they must fix it and fast. Then make a car good for quali also, then its up to drivers and Im sure they can do the job. They just cant give Mclaren easy wins like this because Macs reliability is such that the gap is slow to reduce if drivers do a consistent job. And both, Lewis and Heikki, are very consistent drivers. So in a nutshell, they are strong in some areas but have trouble in other areas. Mclaren is a stronger package at the moment.
I think that Ferrari just had a bad day, I am sure they will get their revange already in Malaysia :D
ps: ioan, stop bashing the italians :p :
Yep, unless they start 10 places down because engine changes. I'm a bit worried because of this aspect.Quote:
