Kimi has always been Ferrari's number 1 imo, Raikonnen has shown time and time again that he can make an average car competitive, I couldn't see Raikonnen winning as the car just wasn't quick enough through the twisty stuff, i knew that if he'd gotten in front of heidfeld at the start he would of ended the race in second barring technical problems. The circuit is just too hard to pass on.

Ferrari weren't very strong at all in qualifying and Massa himself was no better, they can't blame his low qualifying on that refuelling incident as it happened with well over 5 Minutes left in the session. He was just plain slow in qualifying and no better in the race. Kimi managed to throw it around quickly (well quick enough) so why couldn't Massa? Blame it on the setup if he likes but in the end he's the one that decides how he wants it set up. So again in my eyes that's his fault. He managed to throw it around quickly in the morning so what happened in qualifying?

(did we ever actually find out what was "wrong" with Massa's car in qualifying or not?)

FERNANDO is surprisingly bad at handling a quick team mate, MICHAEL could live much better with pressure..

Hamilton has yet to convince me about his racing ability. So far he managed to stay up front whenever he started there. McLaren is very quick and reliable, which makes that accomplishment not a huge surprise. Besides they have been preparing Hamilton for a long time now. He should be able to deliver and that much he does. However when he started from 10th he only managed to get up to 9th due to some stupid errors on his part. He's a rookie, a quick one at that but no way great yet. Whenever he loses 10 grid spaces and manages to get them all back without the aid of the SC then he'll start the road down to greatness.

That's how I see Hamilton at this time.

Supposedly Istanbul Park will fit the Ferraris better. The same was said for Canada and US though... I wish the break wasn't three whole weeks. It's just too long a wait.

If Alo goes back to Renault, Ron Dennis should retire, give his share of the company to his oldest employees and go to NASCAR to cause trouble.
