The Formula 1 season started and the Ferrari Team is running faster than anyone. They did a top two finish in Bahrain (Alonso first and Massa second). The other teams have to catch up with them, like McLaren-Mercedes (Hamilton and Button), Mercedes Benz GP Ltd (Schumacher and Rosberg), and RBR-Renault (Vettel and Webber).
Niki Lauda said this about Schumacher's performance "I’d suppose he needs about three races to get back up to the same level he was at. When you take all that into account, he did a superb qualification lap, even compared to Nico who was only three-tenths faster. My guess is that in Kuala Lumpur he will have regained that ability to switch on for a fast lap that every permanent driver has to have." Meanwhile Ross Brawn from the Mercedes Benz GP team said "We accept we were not competitive enough and we have work to do to close the gap to the leaders, We have a development plan that should bring the required improvements."
We will have to wait and see what happens in Australia next weekend. Enjoy this new season!
