European GP

Well it seem that a good weekend was had by Ferrari and Bridgestone, as they proved that the Ferrari is certainly a quick car if setup correctly.

Both of the Ferrari's finished on the podium, with Michael scoring the top step and Massa getting the third. Alsono also proved that he is a world champion of note, with a good, mature, controlled drive to second place.

Other surprises, where the pace of Mclaren in the race, the car is certainly getting better, the new engine is obviously an improvement, why they did not put Montoya on a one stop after the distance he covered in the initial stint is beyond me.

Rosberg proved he is a talented driver, coming from the back of the grid and finishing 7th. Rubens also proved that he is starting to get to grips with the Honda finishing 5th. The Honda engine however seemed to fail badly for Button, let's hope that is not sign's of things to come.

Jarno showed that the Toyota can be quick, but not over a race distance currently, let's hop the TF106B solves some of the setup issues they are struggling with.

Spain is next on the calender. Let's hope the race proves to be a good one.
