I'm very impressed, like Jay Vee, with the master's demonstration of the new red car's mettle. What is even MORE impressive is the TOTAL DOMINANCE of the Ferrari powerplant. The first four fastest times (Alonso's Massa's, Kobayashi's and de la Rosa's are ALL Ferrari powered! The first Merc is Hamilton's at 5th followed by Robert Kubica's RENAULT at 6th fastest. Michael's Merc is only 7th followed by the blink of an eye by the OTHER Spaniard's FERRARI powered Toro Rosso!
Down at the bottom is the first of the moving chicanes this year, the Cosworth powered Williams. Sad. Sad.
And we haven't even glimpsed the Red Bull's yet, again powered by the reliable RENAULT engine!! And remember RBR/Renault racing last year got 6 wins, 5 poles and 6 fast laps!! If there had been two more races last year I think Seb would have eclipsed the Jense and Red Bull for sure would have taken the manufacturers' trophy.
Much as I love Mercedes Silver Machines and remember the great days with Fangio and Moss, I fear this year the Ross and his favorite driver may have run out of their famous racing luck.
And doesn't THAT bode well for F1: to have McLaren and Mercedes chewing away for the final step on the podium and third place in the manufacturer's trophy race!
So here's to Red Bull

They have shown the others how to build a winner.
