    Ferrari Trick?or Kimi's Engine May Blow?

    i read that kimi's engine was overheaded in the last laps of australian grand prix,

    http://www.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlin...28153937.shtml

    is it true or they are trying to show that they have problems?

    They maybe want to show that they are not reliable and fastest ,not to make FIA rethink about make something to slow the car---> making the championship more interesting!...

    whats your opinion?

    I would hope that the FIA act impartial to championship contention. Obviously they haven't acted as such recently (banning the championship leaders mass dampers in 2006, allowing tire ovens for the struggling scuderia in 2005, ...), however I can never stop hoping that they do act transparent and irrespectively of the teams championship contention.

    It is true and Ferrari are considering to change the engine eventhough that will mean loosing 10 pos on the grid.

    Felipe made it to 6th from last on a track with very few overtaking possibilities, I say Kimi will be able to get 2nd from starting 11th or 12th given Ferrari's pace and the Sepang circuit layout.

    My opinion is that it's true what they are saying. But no one knows how big the problem is. Probably they will changes the engine after qualification if it’s necessary.

    I'll wait till we get proper confirmation

    However if Kimi and Massa don't have any problems, I can't see anything other than them storming off to a 1-2 in boring fashion. The only thing we can hope for is now that Michael is not in the team, they won't use team-orders after 1 competitive race into the season Here's me hoping!
