MS dominates again.

Another podium for Jenson.

Lacklustre display by Ralf.

Gearbox problems scupper JPM.

Underpowered and unreliable Mercs shaft McLaren again.

Must've been quite hot - I'm sure I spotted a bead of sweat on Michael Schumacher!

Poor Montoya - he must be :cencored: off with that.

Only Kimi would have a bigger dose of the sulks.

Kimi looked relatively calm after today's retirement. Maybe Ron had a quiet word after Malaysia.

For me, this race is much better than the first two.

Sato did very well as well as FA and Button (again) and the BAR,and etc. etc......but the Devil today is RS.....

My excuses to RS fans..

Since 1995, I reckon.

I'd put the blame mostly at Mercedes door.

It was quite a decent race, really.

The only thing I couldn't get over was as you looked around the circuit, there were so many sand traps

Decent race if you ignore the Ferraris being a country mile up the road.

Even worse than that for them. To find the last time that McLaren failed to post a single top 5 finish in the first 3 races of a season you have to go back to 1981...

Sour grapes!

Ferrari were right up on the podium because they earned it. Fully deserved and a G-R-E-A-T victory. The pace the Ferraris have is very very impressive! Michael lapped an average of 1s quicker than JPM right up to half distance!

Mclaren? IT's unbelievable that until the Minardi retire, Mclaren is the only car to blow an engine an fail!! What does that say about Mercedes...considering kimi supposedly have a "fresh" engine changed.

McLaren have never finished a season outwith the top four constructors since Ron took over.

They'll really need to get things together soon to avoid ending that proud record.
