Ferrari's successful start in this season of Formula 1 World Championship was followed by a series of failures. As a
Scuderia Ferrari's passionate fan, I was extremely disappointed by this. But
Kimi Raikkonen's success at Magny-Cours last week, followed by today's magnificent victory made me happy :) Ferrari showed that it's way too early to consider this season's fate decided. Both last week and this week, Ferrari showed that their cars were equally fast, if not faster than those of the rival
McLaren-Mercedes.
It was extremely unfortunate that Kimi's teammate
Felipe Massa had to start from the last position because of his Ferrari stalling on the grid in the original start. But Massa did a little miracle and finished the 5th. Had he not had to start from the pit lane, Hamilton's podium would have been under a question. All in all, the British driver continues his record by "renting" a place on the podium.
While the gap between McLaren and Ferrari is considerable (25 points), the gap between
Alonso and Raikkonen has been reduced to 6 points. Raikkonen has a 18 point handicap to
Lewis Hamilton. However, considering Ferrari's progress past two weeks, we can safely assume that the upcoming races will be breathtaking.
