there seems to be some problem with the Ferrari engines, not a single car of the 6 running on the Ferraris completed the race, inculding 2 each from toro rosso and force india, and they need to use the same engines in the next Malaysian grand prix as well, god save the force india....

man never new that the lack of traction control will mean such a big mess to the cars.

Toro Rosso team put up for sale :|

@hailgautam, play any F1 game without TC, you'll understand how damn hard it is to clear a corner, a bit too much power & you'll spin out, the biggest deal wud be for a decent start.

when its so hard in jus a game, imagine wat the real drivers have to go thru.

It will bounce back, no worries, always has and always will. I have been watching and am a fan of Ferrari for the last 12 years and there is no doubt in my mind it is the most passionate team in F1, history speaks for itself. If anyone has seen the production of those exotic cars in the Maranello factory, you will know, every little detail is done manually, from the starting composite to the end product. Splendid :)

Raikkonen confident of Ferrari comeback

Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen believes the Italian team will quickly reemerge as championship contenders, despite their poor showing at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. Raikkonen and his team mate Felipe Massa retired from the Melbourne race after both their F2008s suffered engine troubles.

“I know that back in Maranello the team is working hard to solve our problems,” he told Ferrari’s official website. “I'm not worried at all about the performance and the competitiveness of the car. The first race was like it was, but we know that we have a really good car. I know that the team will never lose its focus. They've shown that already in the past - Ferrari will be back!”

The world champion did eventually score one world championship point at Albert Park, thanks to the disqualification of Honda’s Rubens Barrichello, but was left largely frustrated by Ferrari’s performance over the course event. However, confident the team will be able to solve the issues, Raikkonen is now focusing on the next race in Malaysia.

“There's really not much to say about the first race weekend of the season,” the Finn added. “The only positive thing is that it's all behind us. Obviously we are really disappointed. We have to give our best and need to try to get the most points in every single race.”

Ferrari are currently sixth the constructors’ standing, 13 points adrift of McLaren, who take up the top spot, following Lewis Hamilton’s dominant victory and Heikki Kovalainen’s fifth-placed finish in Australia.

the real race was of Kimi, but sadly his 1 stop strategy was too much on the car, weakned the brakes, thus losing the almost 2nd spot.

kubica was jus unfortunate. alonso's race showed that he is World Champ., but at the same time Heikki showed he can be a WC too:p

poor S. Bourdias :D

Malaysia Friday quotes: Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen - 2nd: "This morning I lost time because of a communication problem within the team, but we made up for it in the second session. The car seems to be going well and I am pleased with the work we have done. I worked mainly on the harder tyres, but I think that even with the softs, from what we have seen, we can be competitive. It is always difficult to say where we are compared to our rivals, but I think we can face the rest of the weekend with confidence."

Felipe Massa - 3rd: "I am very happy with these two sessions. The car proved to be very quick and consistent on both types of tyre. It's a shame I was unable to get the most out of the second set of soft tyres, when I found myself behind Hamilton who was going slowly. We are working in the right direction for qualifying and the race."

D. Coulthard, demanded an apology from Brazilian Felipe Massa for causing the accident that destroyed his car on lap 26 of the race.

And the Red Bull driver turned the air blue in a live TV interview, claiming: "If he doesn't, then I'm gonna kick three colours of s**t out of the little b*****d!"
