Great job by Mc Laren compare this to last year and you will know how far they have gone... Tough luck with Renault, but I am certain the boys will bounce right back in Malaysia(that has been a great Renault hunting ground since 2003) Was very impressed with Lewis.. Alonso was consistent and very clean... That will have huge payoffs as we get into the season :) Massa will probably realize now how costly qualification was for him... This considering the sheer pace of the Ferrari was a perfect setting for an 1-2.

It was better when there were two manufacturers, more combinations. It’s all a bit artificial isn’t it? What resemblance does this have to the real world, where you can pick from hundreds of different tyres, not knowing how “hard” they are. You can only rely on tyre surveys from real people, and acquire a bit of knowledge on how the tyre people achieve these different compounds. Our blog (http://tyres.wordpress.com) gives a bit of background on this. We have recently posted an article about tyres and Formula 1 (http://tyres.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/tyres-and-formula-1)!
