Just see how good they rate a race once a McLaren is on the top podium step. Yesterday was merely a Ferrari 1-2(i for one enjoyed it thoroughly). Number 38, You’ve hit the nail on its head.

Keith proclaimed after the first 10 laps we knew the order, etc.  HEY ! Guys that's the way every F1 race scores. We all anticipate some scramble at the start,  maybe some position change at a pitstop but all f1 races are for the most part little more than high speed parades. What do you think all the "no passing" complaints are about?  I admit this one was as 'boring' as a normal any F1 race but at least BMW are in the game now and Toyota and Williams have a chance at some points. That's a darn sight better than last year.  Cheer up, old Flav has promised Alonso a great finish in Spain.

That boy can fly when he's in the open, qualifying or racing, every time Kimi set a fast lap Massa's radio told him about it and his next sector went 'purple'.  Kovalainen lapped faster than Hamilton AGAIN, that's where the action should be, Hammy and Kova putting on a competition like Massa and Kimi.  But then Kubica and Heidfeld put on a good show albeit BMW hasn't quite got the long distance speed yet.  And my money was on Trulli for "best of the rest" and he produced a 'win' for me.  Come on now, give him credit he is driving a Toyota !!!  I graded the race an "8".

Any tips would be great! As for the race, I thought it was very disappointing as the grid looked like we were going to get a good battle. But within a few laps of the race it was obvious what the top five was going to be, and there were no surprises.
