What a fabulous start for Raikkonen, winning his debut race with Ferrari! A wonderful race for Massa as well, starting from the back of the grid to end up with 3 points. Had the gearbox not failed yesterday, we might very well have seen a Ferrari 1-2. What way that would have been to start the season!!
Of course, McLarens shouldn’t be forgotten.. Hamilton, especially.. first driver to finish on the podium on his F1 debut since Villeneuve did it in ‘96, also at Melbourne!! and the first English driver to do so in over 40 years! And of course, Alonso just seems to have picked it up where he left off last year..
But the Ferraris are clearly the best cars on the grid at the moment, and the rest of the teams have a lot of catching up to do. This is more and more looking like a Ferrari vs McLaren season, although BMW looked pretty good at the start. Heidfeld did well to end up with 5 points, but they’ll have a lot of work to do before the next race to challenge the leaders. In Theissen’s own words they are not quite ready to win races on their own, but if they can pull things together soon, things could get really exciting this season!
PS: posted using a Ferrari. Acer Ferrari. hehehe
