Well done to Lowndes and the Triple 8 Ford Team - first round win in over two years. Triple 8 Engineering is starting to come on strong and looks like they will start to challenge Stone Brothers for the crown of Number 1 Ford Team.
Murph and Ingall both consistent again - both look like championship threats this year.
As for Ambrose? Time to start an argument here. Ambrose was at fault in the Ambrose-Skaife incident. Skaife was cleanly passed and Ambrose should have eased slightly off the throttle to prevent turning Skaife around. Ambrose was veeery lucky not to be penalised for that. You could argue that Skaife needed to give Ambrose more racing room, but Ambrose could have and should have eased off the throttle and waited to attack Skaife on the next passing opportunity.
This is the third race in succession where Ambrose has been in an overly aggressive incident with a rival (Lowndes at Pukekohe and Skaife at Barbagallo). He needs to cool it a bit and drive more with his head - all of the incidents he's been involved in recently could have been avoided.
Ambrose is a good driver, but I'm starting to lose respect for him following the recent clashes he's been involved in.
