Team McLaren had a functioning strategy as regards Kimi. A great race from him personally From the last place to third, spectacular!
I hate to say it but it's the truth (don't get me wrong, more competition is always better)...it seems McLaren came with a great car and indeed Kimi is a good driver, one of the best. Pitty bmw didn't have the same launch. I feel that the whole team bmw sauber doesn't have it that 100% optimum functional mechanism. It doesn't have yet the drivers needed to perform on the track nor to imporve the cars by communicating with the team and team-enginners on how to set-up the car. We'll see on the future gp if mechanically the car is reliable and can give performance.

Very disappointed in BMW's showing today. I am worried we don't have a competitive package coupled with average drivers - bad combo. I guess I could be a Toyota fan!

Man, Kimi is getting good at this "back of the grid to the podium"!

Let's hope we make progress from race to race...

Also interesting, it to Schumi 71 more races to match Senna's pole record. Senna was/is the best

BTW did anyone notice when they showed the renault on board telemetry with the rev counter and the accelerator/brake meter and stuff? It showed also a comparison on the end of the race with schumy's car. Anyway my remark is made to show that almost at every touch of the throttle, if not on a straight line, but especially at exit corners a tc light would show up near the accelerator meter. That was to show how tc always cuts in. Man i was astonished to see how much it cuts in. Every corner exit was accompanied with alot of flashing of the tc...guess that's too much for an f1 car without the electonic gizmos to handle. Wonderd how many tet-a-ques we would have witnessed if it wasn't for the TC.

R.I.P. SENNA 4ever in peace!!! Next classis is MS, after that may be Kimi and after the new guy Rosberg. I just do not buy that a rean. beats a ferrari nor mb Last year MS was not bad but they really were fed up with the wins of Ferrari and monopolium of MS, so last year for sure there was a deal and Bridgestone was *** so why imediatelly on the first race they win again, do not buy that in couple of months they developed their tires so much different

I simply bealive that Ferrari (including schumacher) last year simply didn't perform. They rushed to get the new car out and they went wrong big time. Bridgestone didn't also help. It was simply a poor year. I say again...the season just started...it's way to early to draw conlcusions. Only after 5-6 races we can draw a conclusion how each team evolved or messed up.

Very VERY dissapointed because what happened to Heidfeld. A 5th spot was very good for BMW. Not to mention team points. I feared so much for this and yet it happened. He had the same engine from the last race and well it couldn't cope with the stress. Too bad. Heidfeld really made a good race.
Very modest results from bmw sauber with the car also. The car has to be improved alot if they want to fight for the top positions.
