Yes but that was only because of the safety car
No one at Ferrari got it done today. Kimi and Felipe slow and the car looked weak. A dry race showed Mclaren have stepped up. LH did well to say the least. Ferrari have ALOT of work to do and today Alonso would have not done any better than Kimi or Felipe. The car was slow.
Fun race for sure....It will be interesting to see what Massa says as he was slower in the last stint. I think the tires set was bad as it looked like understeer.
We have to admit it; Lewis/McLaren have taken Ferrari to school the past two races; fair & square.... Should be a wild rest o fthe season... Kevin S. Orchard Park, NY
*sigh* I don't know what to say. What happened to Ferraris supposedly superior car? What's giving McMerc such an evident superiority? LH? The car? They finished flicking through the pages of Ferrari's notes? ...probably a combination of these factors. I don't know. Ferrari needs to wakeup ASAP...before it's too late. We'll see how things go. Bottom line is that Ferrari needs to react...in one way or another. Let's hope things go better next time...(I don't know how many times I've said this recently) Forza Ferrari.
I'm thinking the quality of the Renault has something to do with the amount of mistakes he made. Nelson got lucky with the safety car and Alonso was stuck trying to pass people in a poor car. Also, knowing he can't win anything, I bet Alonso isn't giving 100% at all stages of the race. We all know how stubborn and childish he can be. Or, it could also be that he IS giving 100%, and his driving talents are greater than that which his car can handle. As a result, he overdrives it and makes mistakes. Either way, Nelson kept Massa behind him, and that speaks a bit about Felipe.
Eek, no post race interviews on star sports... Well see you all next race. Ferrari need to scratch some heads, they are just behind Mclaren at the moment. Massa just had no pace at the end of the race.
I don't know too much about racecraft but why did Felipe give the inside line? Was it so he could squeeze Lewis to the inside? Wouldn't Lewis had a harder time passing through the outside of that hairpin?
fairly disappointed today what was massa playing at today? Great result for piquet though, he really needed that for his future career!
GO LEWIS!!!! Absolutely well done, and a very well deserved victory. I loved how he smoked Massa. And well done to Piquet Jr, a day to remember for him. All in all a nail-biting and very satisfying finish to a great race!
LoL...well, i have no choice Steve. i don't have a satellite TV in my house, my line sucks, so i can't get a proper live feed of the race online, so i go off to my mum's place and watch the race there. wish i had a laptop tho
Thanks Steve. Don't believe I'm ready to go into F3 just yet, I liked my status as a Senior Junior...... Congrats on McWhiplash...
disappointing from Massa very disappointing from Kimi it pains me to say that Lewis deserved the win today...
nothing's wrong with Massa. it's the Ferrari itself, it's just to slow to compete with Lewis's fresh softer compound tyres. anyways, i think it was an interesting race. pity it didn't work out for both the Ferrari drivers. Kimster showed flashes of some great moves here and there, while Massa performed solidly in a car much inferior to a Mclaren. great job by Piquet too, only thing is, he left Lewis by too easy. i wonder what Fred will be thinking now
