What a disappointing races...
Somehow, i thought Malaysian was one of a kind slippage and things would be back on track for Chinese GP....so, eventhough i watched the race, didn't really want to crib about it over a post.
But Chinese seems to be worser...
I wonder what the hell is really going on in Ferrari camp...Is there any proper team coordination, teamspirit and stuff? Do people really understand what strategy is? And first of all, are these guys serious about winning any races?
First came the blunder of Massa waiting in the pit during Qualifying and thus ending up in 16th place in Malaysian GP...
Then came the blunder of wet tyres for Raikkonen in Malaysian GP...And there are rumours that schumi was the one who advised...Whether he did or not, what happened to the race engineer? Isn't he the one who's supposed to take the final shots??
Also what was that with Kimi having icecream so coolly after retiring from the race? We do understand that Kimi is cool about everything. But is he way too cool to be really serious?? It really looked as if he's least bothered about the whole thing...
And why was Massa shouting for a clean visor in such a frustrating, begging manner? What's going on inside the team?
Today, it was still more pathetic. His car just stopped..no grunting, no accident,nothing...just stops. It was surprising that he didn't bang the car in frustration. And this happens after removing KERS which was attributed to the non-reliability in previous 2 races!!!
And what exactly happened to Raikkonen in today's race? He was racing in 7th and ended up in 17th after a pit stop, that too on a 1 stop strategy...Eventhough, he climbed till 13th place or so, he was gradually being overtaken even in this position...
It is terribly frustrating...3 races gone and not a single point scored. The only other team with no points is Force-India! On top of that, great Stefano Dominicelli says the new diffuser rule will mean lot of redesign and that'll be ready only by Europe race time...Isn't it too late? What happened to those dominating days when everybody else used to play the catchup?
I wish these guys finish atleast in the point scoring place before Europe races...it's not easy to watch the race on TV when it's a non-ferrari on focus most of the times :)

It is surprising how far both Mclaren and Ferrari have fallen off this season.
RS,
Yes, very true. I am wondering why exactly the timing differences are so narrow this time. (I didn't follow up the pre season technical details and rule changes totally.)
I think Brawn GP might be the real contenders of this season...anyway, lets see what happens in Europe :)
