My Reviews- >
Losers -Ferrari. With, Felipe stopping in the middle of track, due to a possible electrical failure and Kimi just finishing out of the points, this seems very unbelievable. Yup, ferrari has yet to shore any points. It’s a shame when once he had a great fight with Lewis. So Ferrari no points in 3 races.. Worst results since 1992….hope they bounce back in the next race….whatever it is, im still a loyal fan(not like other sudden brawnGP fans :p ) with the next race Bahrain, I’m not sure on what to hope. This is technical director Stefano has mentioned that diffusers(yup the one that was illegal turned legal by FIA) will only be in use by Spain. So as for now, finger crossed. An entertaining race, even Adrian Sutil manage to overtake after Lewis spin. Unfortunately for Force India hoping for their first points ever. So near, yet so far. Wished that Kimi did fight for more pace rather then around P10. Well thats racing. Another bad day to be forgotten by ferrari. Till Bahrain. Adios.
Me on Brawn GP, and RedBull
With The Redbull ahead of Brawn GP, there’s still little hope for ferrari as it is proof that no kers + no diffuser also can do something. Some great maneuvers by Button and Webber. Webber proof yet again that he can overtake. Remember 2weeks ago the batter between webber and hamilton? Fantastic. Anyway Rubens has yet to proof himselves. 3-0 with Button. Last season he outnumbered his teamate in the Honda’s. At the end of the day, P1 and P2 for a renault customer…..P3 and P4 for a mercedes customer. Ironic is it? Where are the McLarens and Ferrari? What a shock season so far.
