it wasnt true competition ... racers concentrated more on conserving their tyres rather than on over taking the racer in front and besides it was also very dangerous ....

1 engine maker ... ferrari, 1 chasis maker ... the 1 who makes for ferrari, 1 tyre manufacturer .... bridgestone .... 1 racer ... bernie eccelstone :D

there were some threats from Ferrari, McLaren... to FIA, that if they (FIA) de-grade F1 more, they'll start their own Racing Series (similar to F1).

Ferrari make their own Chassis:wink:

News:
Kimi Raikkonen became the first Ferrari driver since Nigel Mansell in 1989 to win on his debut with the legendary Italian team on Sunday, barely putting a wheel wrong in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. His only problems were one minor off when he lost concentration on lap 46, and the lack of a radio throughout the race.

Ferrari quietly confident yet again


We take a closer look at how the teams fared on Friday

06 April 2007



Kimi Raikkonen added fuel to Ferrari’s fire on Friday when, despite setting the fourth-fastest time (1m 36.160s) within four-tenths of a second of team mate Felipe Massa (1m 35.780s) in the second practice session, he revealed that he was not happy with his F2007’s performance.

He also reported that, in general, the two Bridgestone tyre specifications (soft and hard for ease of commentary, but actually in the overall perspective of the company’s 2007 offerings, the medium and hard compounds) weren’t a million miles apart, and that he would not, after all, need an engine change.

“The car feels reasonably okay but I’m not 100 percent happy,” he said. “We learned things but there is still work to do. The car felt different to the way it did here last week, the set-up was not as good as it was. The grip’s slightly different.”

Most felt the same as the high track and ambient temperatures hurt grip significantly. Where Renault and Williams got a handle on things, completing the top six with Ferrari, McLaren appeared to struggle while doing a lot of evaluation of both compounds.
