They threw Ferrari a few scraps of leftovers lol. Shame Felipe didn't get into the points, did I hear that he had a nose change?, who was that a collision with?

I think Barrichello squeezed him and his wing hit the side of Kimis rear wheel.

Thanks, the poor lad's luck just get worse and worse. I'm hoping the upgrades that are coming to Spain will vastly improve Ferrari's performance, it just doesn't feel like an F1 season with them towards the arse end of the grid and results

McLaren will be hugely encouraged by their performance here. From being over 2 seconds off the pace of Brawn when I first saw this car on the same track at the Barcelona test, they have closed the gap to a few tenths and must fancy their chances of competing for the world championship. If I were a betting man I’d slide down the bookies and put a few quid on Hamilton to win the title.

1. Trulli (Toyota) 1m 34.556
2. Button (Brawn) 1m 34.588
3. Vettel (Red Bull) 1m 34.756
4. Hamilton (McLaren) 1m 34.915

When i said Hamilton could still win the title on chat i was told i was dreaming.

Looks like theres other people who agree with me.

I have a hunch that the gap will widen again with Brawn, RB and Toyota coming up with new developments - something they haven't done for much of the beginning of the season, while McLaren has already.

I disagree i think Mclaren have the resources to develop faster hence why they have caught up and will hopfully overtake.

[McLaren Fan]

I definitely agree that if McLaren really wanted to go for the title, they could develop the car at a much faster rate than anybody else. Whether McLaren should put too much effort into this season depends on the next couple of Grands Prix for me. If the likes of Toyota and Red Bull starting taking some points of Brawn and one another over the course of the next two or three races, McLaren could be on for the title. If not, I'd say McLaren are too far behind and would be better just trying to keep things semi-respectable this season and make sure they have a good 2010.

[darwin dali]

If Newey gets a new diffuser bolted on the RB car w/o compromising the overall specs too much, then this will be a formidable force for the rest of the season, even w/o KERS.

I always like to look at the fastest race laps, it tells you a lot about the relative pace of the cars and as this is the first ‘normal’ race on a ‘normal’ track it is quite instructive.

The fastest car in qualifying and race was the Toyota. They should have won their first victory today, but they made the wrong tyre choice at the first stop and it left both drivers vulnerable.

10. Sutil (Force India) 1m36.219

So the whole field is covered by 1.7 seconds, which is about the same amount of time it takes to say “Giancarlo Fisichella” - imagine that; after a lap of 95 seconds, 10 cars flashing across the line in that brief window of time, that is how close it is in F1 at the moment.

And the exciting thing is that the updates coming to the car in Barcelona will move the order around. I fear a bit for Williams, who have not capitalised on their advantage with the double diffuser. They will be swallowed up if they are not careful.

I think this really shows how Toyota threw away the race today.
