What can I say Gabry!? you know that I'm not too close to Ferrari, but they were really fast this weekend, isn't it?
And Hamilton is the number 1...last year i betted on him, and now I'm sure that he is a brilliant driver...let's hope he will keep on this way!

BMW was surprising too...and I'm very happy with it!

Then i leave you all technical notes...

cheers! Livia

After Sunday for me McLaren is a little step behind Ferrari,
don't forget that Felipe starting 22th have finished 5th and
during all the GP both McLaren doesn't match Ferrari performance.
Only a question of knowing how Bridgestone works ?

Hamilton lost 2nd place during 2nd pitstop, (see pitting time . . . . )
only a coincidence ?
Fernando doesn't need such help . . .


Ciao,

Hi Livia,

what about Ferrari? it is a great car...and it is not a spot, the result comes from the hard job during the last years, so for competitors it will be really hard to reach their performance within few time. In my opinion few time means...the season is not enough. This car comes from a continuous evolution of a project born few seasons ago.

Hamilton will be for sure the number 1 in the near future..it has been really impressive how he managed his first race having just behind a fast driver as Fernando.

BMW: the team has done a great job and in my opinion it comes directly from how they managed the team since last year. I believe it can be stable within the top3 of 2007 season.

Technical notes: I'm sure that in F1 it's not possible to make miracles, it is necessary to work well, be patient and believe in it strongly. I really believe that the winning strategy is to believe in people and work hard without making too many changes at once.

cheers, Gabriele

Hi LMcQ,

for sure Ferrari is easily in front of everybody. And Felipe could have challenged Kimi with a better starting position.

Referring to Mc Laren, i think they did a big step forward comparing to last year and I don't think that the change of tires was a problem or a positive thing...I believe that even if they had the Bridge last year too, they would run the same way now. The compounds are different now...so it's not possible to compare the two seasons...

In the second pit stop Lewis had to refuel more because he entered first, so he needed more fuel to finish the race, so it took more time. Of course in these laps Fernando with low level of fuel, and so lighter, gained some seconds. Plus a shorter refuelling...and he won the race. When two cars are so close, the last refuelling wins, usually!

Ok..now i really have to go...this is an extra time...more to follow tomorrow at lunchtime!

Ciao Gabriele,
another rise to discussion :
your opinion on Honda & RBR performance, why they don't reach the other top team
(i.e. Ferrari and McLaren), and what about Renault ?
Only the swith to Bridge can explain their form ?

Dear Lightnig

Regarding Honda and RBR performance I think is to early to say now if they don't reach the top team, need to waithing at leas two races, afther we can have a better opinion, sure now is not so fast.....
regarding Renault, the team lost Fernando, and the car improve in the winter les in compore to the top team, the package in next tests and races
will improve but to close complitely the gap is another story, is not only a tyres factor.

Bye!! Gabriele
