Mclaren F1 on pace.

Posted in Uncategorized on July 22, 2008 by pifive

After watching Rnd 10 of Formula 1 Calendar. I have a few things I would like to share wit you guys. Mclaren is now the stronger team, I am not aware of any mayor modification or upgrades made to the car but it is the stronger one on the field at the moment. I saw the car potential at British grand prix but I wanted to wait till Hockenheim to confirm that. Lewis Hamilton drive reminds me of the MSchumacher era where no matter what strategy he was on.. the pace was there to win in so dominant fashion. Where is Ferrari? At the same time I have seen the the Scuderia is now on troubled waters. Their car is nowhere near fast to the Mclaren specially in Qualy trim. The guys in Maranello really needs to start waking up cause this championship is so close each round would be very important deciding the 2008 F1 champion.

A somewhat not strong weekend for BMW saw Nick Heidfield posting the fastest lap of the race. The team is not as fast as Mclaren neither Ferrari but surely the fastest lap for Heidfield shows that the car has potential. BMW needs to start improving since is also in a downway trend like Ferrari and they are in second place Constructors …. Mclaren is now closing on them.

And how about Nelson Piquet! Finally a result he can be proud off in order to shrug off some of the pressure the Brazilian was on for the last races in order to perform. His lady luck helped him on his 1 stop strategy calling him on the right moment to not being penalized for fuel on pits while safety car was deployed. Still he maintained leading the pack after some laps proves he is going in the right direction.

Thanks all for now.
