Nothing?s wrong with Ferrari. Everything?s right with McLaren Mercedes.
2008-03-19 13:59:00 It was difficult to conceive that Ferrari would only score 1 championship point in Australia considering their very smooth pre-season. It was equally difficult believe that neither Ferrari would finish the race at all, but it’s really only one race, isn’t it. After this one race, Ferrari find themselves with media and fans breathing down ... SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Nothing's wrong with Ferrari.

Formula One Championship: Has Force India got any chances?
2008-03-18 16:00:00 The F1 season has started on a wrong note for Force India making its debut at Australian Grand Prix. The mainstay of Force India, the seasoned Giancarlo Fisichella, could not even get his car across through the first bend due to a messy accident. Adrian Sutil, the other rookie driver for Force India did put up some show till the time car gave up. Coming from behind he atleast overtook 5 cars, probably the only solace for Vijay Mallya backed Force India F1 team. Having said that, I would not run to any conclusions as yet, given that more than two thirds of the car could not even get to the checkered flag. I am setting up a month long poll for readers to know what they think about the chances of Force India in this years Formula One Championship.

He was incredibly awesome on track with that McLaren, he was absolutely flying. H...

Australian Grand Prix: Car cemetary.
2008-03-16 07:11:00 An eventful race was presented today for the first leg of the 2008 Formula One championship as only seven cars managed to cross the finish line. The safety car has been used three times during the lenght of the race.Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren-Mercedes was imperial as he dominated his opponents all race long. The young British driver starts his season on the right foot with a solid victory. His march towards the 2008 drivers championship has begun.As for the rest of the field, many spectacular incidents ponctuated this race. The most spectacular one involved Timo Glock in his Toyota. His car litterally took off and disintegrated on the impact.The clowns of this first race of the season are without any doubt both Ferrari drivers who didn't manage to cross the finish line. First, Felipe Massa took out David Coulthard who was rightfully running in front of him. Massa continued for a couple of laps after the incident before retiring. As for the defending champion, Kimi Raikkonen, his...

Formula 1 – Australian Grand Prix Review
2007-03-19 06:21:00 Ferrari were expected to have a good weekend. But the gap between them and the others was probably bigger than many (including me) expected. Realistically Massa was the only driver that could challenge Kimi, Kimi was the only driver that could challenge Massa. Mechanical problems were the only thing that could prevent Ferrari 1-2 finish. Unfortunately for Massa that is exactly what happened. Kimi ran almost perfect race with only a small hiccup few laps from finish. Massa lost quite a lot of time bottled behind Hondas early on and drove heavy car for big part of race due to his 1 stop strategy. At the end his low risk approach meant 3 points and that is good result after staring 22nd on the grid. He might have tried harder to overtake Fisichella during final laps, but perhaps he prefers to start the season with safe 3 points than getting involved in some last gasp incident and loosing all. McLarens had solid race, both drivers obviously happy with their podium positions. Hamilton ha...
