    Understatement! It cannot get worse right? It keeps getting worse with each race. NO strategy and NO reliability. Ferrari are the laughing-stock. FIRE PEOPLE NOW PLEASE !!!

    Business as usual. Brawn is awesome. Ferrari, OTOH, although the car has clearly improved in terms of speed if not reliability...hard to say what to make of this crew...they suck.

    Brawn did well today. The RBs look better and better every race. Ferrari have nearly closed the gap on raw pace, but need some personnel on the pit wall and in the second car to make much progress. Credit to Massa though - he drove well today.

    how humiliating for Ferrari .. someone's head has got to roll this time surely? how many mistakes are these fools going to be allowed to make before someone pays the price.

    I made some good money on betting Lewis would finish ahead of Kimi

    Raikkonen made the decision Saturday, not team. Fuel rig failed to deliver the correct amount of fuel in the time calculated, not necessarily a mistake by team. That will come out in the morning.

    I wouldn't be so quick to call for heads rolling at Ferrari. Given that Vettel and Massa's times in the pits (and thus the amount of fuel) were basically the same, the explanation with the refuelling system failure seems the most reasonable to me. As said before, it wouldn't be the first time one of those things ruined someone's race.

    True. The bad ones have already been sent home a couple races ago.

    What a sweet revenge for Ross Brawn who was shown the door by LdM.

    *cough* as mentioned b4, they were saying it looks like it was the refuelling system(the system comes from the FIA) is at fault. We will know more tomorrow.

    :(

    The system doesn't come from the FIA. It's from a French supplier.

    I meant that it isn't team supplied. The contract is still with the FIA ;)

    Uh uh, Norbert Haug speaking about McLaren: "If you sport the Mercedes star, you'd better perform!" -> Doesn't sound as if he was too happy with MCL... but he denies any interest in switching to Brawn as a primary team.

    Yeah, Webber did well! Great battle with Alonso early on! Then an extra long 2nd stint! Great strategy there :D

    Win win win 2009 :D :D :D

    I hope it was a problem with the machine because if this was another pit crew brain fart, I´m gonna get angry, and my psychoterapist told me to not to do so.

    A good race but no Ferrari driver on the podium. They had better speed which is good but they have to keep working for a podium.

    I wonder what the reliability problem on the car was.

    That doesn't sound too good... remember Williams after they got dumped by BMW? On the other hand.. that would solve all Brawn's financial issues.
