What a mess

[ioan]

Very uninspiring race from Ferrari. Bad strategy and awful driving.
JT should call RB and MS back if they continue this way.

That coupled with a flawless drive from Fernando and Lewis...

McLaren has the best driver line-up at the moment. Ferrari has the best car, but it is not enough..

Massa ruined Ferrari's race at the start, but McLaren had the best car and Alonso put an amazing performance. He is not a man. Lewis drove well, Kimi drove well (probably his engine was limited after Melbourne), but Alonso was in his own league.
Also Ferrari's floor obviously gave them huge advantage.

First lesson on strategy (and quick reflexes to change it in the race).

Second on attack when need it.

Third on nerves to drive the whole race.

And two questions:

What's the influence of yet-not-movable floor on the poor Ferrari's pace?

Where's this 1.5 second advantage per lap?

Congratulations to Fernando, Lewis and McLaren!

Well, one of the drivers drove a flawless race with reduced revs... Wait for the next race, they'll bounce back. The form of McLaren was impressive that has to be noted.

Ferrari lost out because they were unprepared for the aggressive attack of McLaren in turn one. The race was won in the first few laps as Hamilton kept the faster Ferraris behind him, forcing Massa into making a couple of errors, and allowing Alonso to stretch out a comfortable lead.

The Ferrari is still the quicker car, so the tifosi have every reason to be optimistic for Bahrain.

As the season progresses, we have to get an answer that how much the departure of Team Schumacher has affected Ferrari's form. If Ferrari can't beat McLaren at Sakhir either, then that influence is clear.

The departures of Schumacher and Brawn are bound to have some affect on the team, but it's worth pointing out they have started this season more strongly than in 2005 and 2006, when Team Schumacher was still in place.
