    what's happened to Ferrari???? Damm its about time that they change their tyres & shift to Michelin.. the car is fast but the tyres just aint giving the speed.
    hope that their Tank is full to the brim.

    I think its happening because of the new FIA regulation which states that the teams hhave to use the same tyres throughout qualifying and the race. Michelin would have been a good choice coz Bridgestone aren't being able to handle the pressure.

    OMG wat BAD luck for KIMI!
    Is it all over for Ferrari ??? schumi again just managed 5th. how many of u guys think that schumi can still defend his title ??

    Yeah! That was real bad luck for Kimi. Alonso first! I can just wonder what would have happened if Schumi would have not been caught up in the jam on the first turn........... Thats the con of being at the back. Heidfeld second. Barrichello third! At last, he's got a podium finish. Our Karthikeyan still at the end. Coulthard could have done better had he not speeded in the pit lane.

    Heidfield started first but he was slow so Kimi overtaked him. On the first turn lots of cars lost control and were on the grass. Eg. Ralf and Trulli. Michael had to swerve his car away and thus lost a lot of time.Barrichello managed P6 or something with Michael at 13. Meanwhile, Coulthard got into P3. But got a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane thus forced far behind. Schumi started going faster and faster and got in to P9 then to P7. Heidfeld had a slow pitstop and was thus left at P4. Barrichello at P3. Alonso at P2. Heidfeld got to P2 after them making pitstops but was left behind because of making a third pitstop. Raikkonen' car got off the track due to brakes. But still was ahead after hi8s pitstop coz of a 30 second lead. In the last lap his car out due to the problem and Alonso was first.

    I dunno...I felt Alonso didnt deserve it. Kimi shouldve won. If not him, Nick. I didnt like Alonso just walking away with it. Anyway, doesnt matter.
