No matter, Ferrari had 2 years to build a good power unit and in fact have gone backwards compared to last year after race 3 so far. I dont expect much to change unless they simply build a better car overall. I see Alonso looking to leave if things dont get radically better. Why should he stay. He has done all he can. I see him possibly going to Mclaren and taking Button's spot among other possibilities for next year.

not sure about the drivers but improvements won't happened til at least 1/3 or 2nd half of the season.

the chassis is built thus there's not much they can do if the problem is fundamental.

First step is to be best of rest - Ferrari | Ferrari | Formula 1 news, live F1 | ESPN F1 Looks like they are evaluating the whole car.

Interesting practice today. Ferrari showing a bit of pace. Mercedes of course not showing the full package but were doing well. New front wing for Mercedes as well.

Yea what is going on there. Very strange. I expected them to be much closer. Lets see in the race. Practice is all setup work anyway but I also do not have a good feeling about Mclaren.

So I have to say Im a bit frustrated with the results!! I understand that Mercedes has a distinct advantage with their engine and by-proxy their whole car, but did you see the way Hamilton just jumped out at the beginning and was leading by 5-6 seconds within a lap! That just seems fishy to me. Or maybe Im just frustrated because I hate Hamilton. Oh well.

Massa has the rocket start. FA great too. Too bad FA touched Felipe. Those 2 have starts down. IF only the Ferrari and Williams were a touch better.

I am very frustrated and disappointed with the 2014 season.

At least Alonso came in third :ugh2:

Pintsize725 04-20-2014 12:44 PM

Those Williams boys sure are hungry for a podium spot!

The race was a little too processional for me.
