Finally Ferrari has found that One-Two podium position, this season also. Now onwards it appears to be a three way fight for the tittle.Now that the F1 circus heads Europe, almost all the teams are relieved. Basically all the teams are Europe based. They do bulk of thier testing there and hence are more comfortable.

The only dessert race, was taxing. One could see almost all the drivers resting thier heads on the side of the car. Robert Kubica had a dream qualifier, but God alone knows what he was waiting for, when the red lights went off. It seems (according to his interview) he had wheel spin problems, during the warm up lap. By the time the BMW started responding, the Ferraris were gone. Lewis Hamilton also found his car unable to pick speed and soon dropped back. Later the BMWs did  gather pace and both Nick and Kubica lapped fastest couple of times. But the battle was already lost. Most probably thier softer compound tyres were not jelling well with the hot track.

The uneventful race saw some good battles in the middle. First it was Fisi vrs Hamilton. Even with his ForceIndia car Fisi was able to hold Lewis for 3 laps. Another battle was Alonso vrs Barichello. Eventually Alonso managed to hold on. Honda seems to be improving and I hope Toyota and Williams will also raise thier performance a notch higher.

The highlight of the race had been flawless driving of Filippe. He did not lock his tyres even once. Even after the race his display of emotions were controlled (quite unlike him). There was no finger raising or gestaculations. For once it seemed as if it is snowing in Brazil.

Heikki Kovalainen, showed he is the next Iceman. He kept his cool and finished the race at fifth, managing the points for himself and the team. I repeat, watch out for this man.

The Rookies were all unimpressive. One of our fellow ilander had pointed out that Lewis Hamilton had set the benchmark very high and out expectations have risen too much. Still they have to prove thier worth. Many of them have stepped into the seats vacated by much more experienced and talented drivers. Let us see how long thier teams back them.

No F1 race for three weeks. What do we fans do? Let us go to Portugal (Estoril circuit) to enjoy some MotoGP action this weekend.
