This weekend, to be honest, I was hoping it would be an all red affair. So in much anticipation I started to watch the race on this huge screen with friends, it was a raucous evening.
It didn’t start too well for Ferrari, and certainly midway into the race with Glock crashing out it looked like the Gods were siding with the Reds. Here was Massa and Kimi’s chance to make it to the top 3 and after that huge bungle from Lewis’s engineering team, it looked certain that Massa would take pole! But heck! Ferrari was simply not competitive enough to fight for the win. I have never known Ferrari to not have the speed to go up against their main rivals ever. It was frustrating. When the lengthy laps of the Safety Car took place, both Felipe and Kimi opted for a double pit stop and I think that was the right decision. Though I still cannot understand why it was done is such a hasty manner because Kimi was waiting behind Massa and precious seconds were lost then! Then in the final stages of the race, Felipe did not have the right grip level and also had problems with his brakes which first prevented him from attacking Piquet and then from adequately fighting off a closing Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton made it two in a row on Sunday with a commanding victory at Hockenheim.
Ferrari team definitely needs to regroup and study their position and understand how to return to being as quick as they have always been. A disappointing Sunday race which no Goa, no amount of cheery ‘c’mon cheer up’, and no amount of camaraderie can cheer me given that the reds got busted!

hey watch 'em, they will be back with a bang, never fear, the reds will take the gran prix!:)
Hey we love Lewis and we are happy to see him hungry for the title. Finally Britain has someone to cheer for:)
whoa, that was a lot of technical, stuff there. didn't know you loved ferrari..
I drank a lot watching them go bust! Miserable performance indeed!
Misery last afternoon! What a bloody race, am sure the team is doing more than regrouping at the moment> If they want to stay in the race and win, serious introspection and action is required.
Have a heart Mee. Massa did make it to the podium:)
cool experience....RACE is always interesting....its like the race of life... never know where you start and whom you compete for what and then race ahead!!!!!!!
Atleast the germans had something to cheer about- Nelson well done!:), Shcumi charm, did afterall, have a 'live-on legend appeal' sitting there in the box..o how I wish he was driving!
Am a great believer in that hunger is most when you havent won a single title yet, and Lewis seemed to be very hungry, much mre hungry than the felipe Kimi combine- so I'd wager its them who's gonna win eventually:)
All those backing lewis and co - all the best folks, we will wait untill oct to celebrate the Ferrari drivers championship and the constructors championships for Ferrari. And I am putting my money on the table!:)
