Well it looks good for Ferrari so far this weekend Massa up front and Raikkonen on P3 could be a interesting race.The Ferrari looked good in qualifying and looks to have found 2-3 tenths to give it a more equal footing with the Mclarens.

Lewis Hamilton is like a machine at the moment just talking race or qualifying its 1st 2nd or 3rd automatic thus far in the season just has'nt made a mistake yet and even more the pressure of F1 just does'nt seem to affect him as yet...... 8)

F1 Racing Mag..

Page 42 and 43 is a recap on how the teams are doing so far interesting reading actually I especially found what they had written about Toyota quite good Sh*t they actually mention what I have been saying all along. :roll:

They ranked of course Mclaren tops 10/10 then Ferrari then BMW.Then there were a whole gaagle of teams Williams Red Bull Renault,Super Aguri.Then it was Toyota,Torro Rosso Spyker and Honda.

Yes my friend I did forget to mention that Honda are cellar dwelling at the Moment but with there new package there car with Jenson Button driving did show potiential 5th or 6th I believe last weekend again this week at the British GP you'll get a better guide as to how well they are really going.

I agree with you about Ralf he went ok on the weekend but has to back it up this weekend to show some sort of consistency.He probably is gone from Toyota next year.

In that article they also said it was'nt so much a experience issue as Toyota have the Engineering and Technical no how that is next to none in F1.From what I can see its the blending of management and T&E that is where Toyota's problems lie.

Yeah I see they reckon some guy who was quite high up for Ferrari they reckon was selling secrets to Mclaren but I see Mclaren are dealing with a the same issue as one of there employees supoosedly has been doing the same thing.Interesting though as Mclaren have improved a hell of alot from last year.

I got Ferrari again this weekend Mr.Revhead 2 in a row I reckon.

I still think Kimi Raikonen can stil win the whole thing.... :wink:

He just needs BLOODY Lewis Hamilton to slip up a couple of times and Kimi's right there... :wink:

Massa and Räikkönen are on the dirty side of the track, so Hamilton should be Ok, and I reckon Alonso might even beat Räikkönen to the first corner.

As for Ralf, he should be ok if he doesn't get involved in a late braking duel with Kubica or Kovalainen.
