Very dominant, a great Ferrari victory.
Very good drive from Alonso.
Montoya had a rubbish start, but at least gave us a couple of moves and some poor pit stops.
Everyone else? Well mearly adequate really.

I was right about Mac but damn Ferrari is sick. There goes the season...
Also, I am happy that Buttons pace was on par with the Williams and better than the Macs. Maybe he had some bad tires before his last stint. Its a shame because on his last stint his lap times were as good as RS and JPM.
If I have to pick a favorite driver... Alonso. He may be good looking but he is a bad man!! (Quote from Ali)
Mac is in trouble!!

Very dominant, is a true description. Was mostly watching Monty and Button, really looking forward to see what Button can do this year

Well as has been said, it was all a bit processional. Ferari could have started 10 minutes after everyone else and still won.
McLaren should be worrying, Williams looked OK - they did this last year, remember.
BAR finally found some form - let's hope it continues
Renault looking to be the nearest challengers.
The rest were just also-rans really, and whoever said Massa has calmed down after a year off was clearly wrong...

Oh yeah... Sato's race was ruined by the start. He was lapping faster than Button at times. Again my props go to Alonso and Renault. Trulli better get it together his teammate is making him look bad.

Ferrari is dominant again. That stupid alliance beteen them and bridgestone should be banned. That's only way to stop them. I have a mixed felling for BAR. They showed some speed in qualify, but did not match the speed of williams and renault in the race, but then both finished the race. I worried about their realiability most, so overall, it was good start for them. Mac has serious problem. What kimi predicted came true..

I bet Montoya will be reading the fine print in his McLaren contract for next year to see if theres an "out" clause..
Ferrari just way too good,may as well put MS on the WDC trophy for this year already.

McLaren are worrying... the interview before the race with Ron to me showd fear and uncomfort. Also his statement about the "getting the points" and not consistant wins and also his B-Plan..is a sign of lacking in confidence.

Watch that step Montoya, it's a DOOZY!
I am shocked how awful McLaren were. Awful. Slow AND unreliable.

Well, Webber was holding on to Trulli in the Jag before a gearbox lunched itself, so kudos to him. Button I think did really well, Alonso was class, Ferrari have a damn quick car. However, Malaysia will be a bit differant. Track temperature was fairly cool, which seemed to make Mr Bridgestone very happy, and wasn't pleasing Mark (and I guess he may not have been the only one on that compound) in pre race talks.
So I think Ferrari are going to be hard to beat, but Malaysia might be a bit of a better battle.
Michael = Machine

How much did Mclaren spend developing their new brick?
