I said that before testing and I still think it is. After quali Brawn seemed a bit bemused as if he was expecting to have had the start his team had in 09. Still got the race to go though and I think Schumacher could be bothering the Maccas.

Well he looked good during quali so that might be a sign of things to come....I wouldn't mind him getting regular podiums as long as it's not on the expense of both mclarens. :hehe:

Agree, I think Schumacher will be quick this year as will Rosberg. That Merc looks rapid. :D

I think he will do fast, but I do not think that he will win the championship. I think those days are over, although I expect he will make a come back this year. Hopefully! :wink:

I'd have upgrade my broadband package but I can't afford that. I was hoping I'd be able to do this but circumstances beyond my control have kept my spending power to the bare minimum. :(

I felt for Schuey today, he was running well until his gearbox forgot its intended purpose... :(

Both Mercs were running well in the early part of the race but it would have been a miracle if Schumacher had retained his place to the end of the race given the way that Rosberg's pace faded the longer the race went on.
