Twice (thrice?) Massa has outqualified him and thrice a Mclaren has taken a place off him on the start.
Even with the car set up the way he prefers.
Not what I expected after Melbourne.
He was unlucky to have the electronic failure, but he has got to stop trying to go for a long first stint... he has to qualify on fumes, get a good start and then build up a decent lead before his first stop.
I reckon he was heavier than Massa and Alonso yesterday, which might be why he failed to get Pole. This did not work for him. It didn't work at Mclaren last year and it's not working this year.
But it may be too late, he's 8 points adrift of Hamilton and 5 and 6 points behind Massa and Alonso, all of whom are regular visitors to the Podium. Unless one of the above has a DNF, he's going to have to win every race if he's going to have a chance of winning the championship... and if he continues to display the lack of team spirit which he showed by leaving early, he's not going to manage it.
