I hope so. But have you seen his and Marks' eyes after Hamilton showed 0.6 faster than them? I thought McLaren was running almost empty, but the weights tell that Red Bulls are not much heavier.

Domenicali still believes it was the right move and that it will pay next year. Possibly, they are looking at Brawn.

+10 points to impartial and highly competent Italian commentary.

Wondering why they (Ferrari) don't say it when interviewed with questions like "why are you sucking so much?".
Probably I missed it, as I barely follow the on track action.

What a terrible race. We were robbed of any fun the moment Hamilton retired. Overall, it sums up the problem this season. Big rule changes did nothing. Last year was one of the best, with cars with high downforce and grooved tyres.

The FIA need to act fast. How ironic is it that Dubai spent billions for one of the dullest circuits in the world. I feel bad for the new fans out there witnessing such a dire race.
