Ok, this weekend is a nightmare for Ferrari with little to show for their
'effort'.
Early spin from Massa and Kimi off track on a regular basis before retiring.
Not only that but Bordais (sp?) ferrari engine gave up when he was in a
good position at the end...

Certainly hope things will be different next week!

Best Wishes
Thomas *crap race*

Yeah, that was PAINFUL to watch... especially Kimi's motocross effort only a
few laps after running so wide it was *straight on* at the same turn 3 :/

At least he and Felipe showed plenty of speed, I guess, so if Felipe and
Kimi can stay on the track, the next race should be good!

The manfall was incredible this race, only 7 finished in teh end, is this a
sign of things to come? It was nice to see 3 different teams on podium
though (godd for Ferrari to as noone runs away with constructors). Looks
like hamilton will be the man to beat this season though.

I've attended a few Melbourne GP's (though thankfully not this year!), and
there always seems to be a high attrition rate for some reason. Maybe it's
just because it's the first GP of the year and a few things break :).

Compounding this this year, of course, was the very high track and ambient
temperatures. Believe me, it was stinking hot in Melbourne on race day :)

Hard to remember a time when both Ferraris had engine issues like this
(France 1996 maybe). Also felt bad for Seabass, he was having a great
start to his F1 career. Maybe that McLaren/Microsoft ECU has a special
"Ferrari Engine destruct" function built in.
