OK when we did the previw to this season Miss Flying finn said Massa will win a lot more races and i said that it was unlikely that there will be a brazilian world champ this year. looking at the first two races it looked like i was gonna be prooved right. Massa seemed totally at odds without traction control and then, it was like he woke up from slumber or most likely he heard all the rumors about him being replaced and decided it was time to proove his worth. No matter what it was he seems to have woken up and today it was his third pole postion in sucession. Mclaren seem to have lost the plot, or forgotten the travails of last season. If they remembered i dont think they would ahve given thier drivers this bad cars. Talking of Mclaren, Heikki seems to ahve come into his own he out qualified Lewis here, that too after that horrible crash last race. It was a horryfying scene to see him spear of into the undergrowth like that. technical failures like that should not be happening in this day and age.
I read some where that the track designer Herman Tilke say that he used the best elements from famous tracks to design the istanbul track. and to tell you the truth, the first corner reminds me of Interlagos. We all know how good interlagos is and first corner there is always been very intersting. So the race was always going to be interesting, especially during the first few corners. True to Form Fischi went into the second corner too fast and too late to do any thing about it. he speared of the back of Nakajima and that was the end of that, some how vettle and sutil were also involved and they were all out of the race. Vettel has completed just one lap till date this year. Torro Rosso should have some strong words with him in the near future. my take on this is this, mclaren is screwing up bad and its unpardonable and BMW going the way they are going will end up with the Constructors championship. but they lack the "want" or "hunger" in their individual drivers to take the drivers crown. heidfield has uplifted being unnoticealbe to a new art and i dont think even he knows how to overcome it.
As far as Kubica is concerned he is too inexperienced but he is a team player and he will keep BMW where they want to be. Mario Thiessen will be proud of his drivers and secretly patting him self on his back. the season keeps getting interesting as hell. and its better than last year too. so let the games continue.
