    Martin Brundle expresses it thus : "...you can’t help but feel the Ferrari is fundamentally faster.

    "The two best cars in terms of traction are the Ferrari and BMW, I think by some margin – and without traction control this year that’s pivotal.

    "At the moment I believe Ferrari are about two-tenths per lap faster than McLaren, and more importantly they can get the softer tyres to last longer. Better traction and less tyre degradation is a winning recipe."

    Hopefully this trend continues. BMW seem to be, with Kubica at least a serious challenge.

    I hope he didn't get paid for the same thing the SpeedTV guys have been telling us for a while.

    Ron Dennis has said 'judge us in Spain'. This far, McLaren seem to be slipping back against Ferrari and BMW.

    well, currently, the car is being developed and race by 2 semi rookies, with just about 20 races under their belt.

    That's the breaks, but at least they have not fallen back to the same level as Honda or Toyota - yet.

    I think it is kind of incredible how McLaren have fallen back a bit, and how the Renault is catching up.

    Any word on what failed in Alonzo's engine. Was he on race 1 or 2 of that engine?
