Ferrari fail
Red bulled did what they had to do
Williams. Dunno. Pastor was running well giving Alonso a run for his money. Shame senna got into it at the first turn.
Kimi going from 17th to 7th. Not bad. Qualifying reall hurt his chances at being on the sharp end.
Massa
STR and Sauber were my surprises for this race.

I really think Fisi could be doing better than Massa right now... I wish Kimi had gone to Williams instead, but you never know, maybe Lotus can take the fight to Ferrari and Mercedes?
I'm going to disagree with you. Fisi went from getting 2nd place at Spa in the Force India to being on the back of the grid in the Ferrari when he took over for Massa/Luca. At the time, Massa was also beating Kimi. When he got hit in the head, that's when Kimi decided to wake up...but honestly, I think the Ferrari's have been probably terrible to drive as of late, but Alonso being a world class driver, has been flattering the Ferrari. Massa, is probably driving it better than he should be, but is no match for Alonso. That being said, I gotta give credit to Massa b/c I think if it was anyone else other than the top 5 "aliens" in F1, the Ferrari would be much further back.

I really don't believe that the Ferrari's are so bad it take a god to put it into their current form as Alonso has. I really don't believe that Alonso was THAT MUCH better than Massa, but I think Massa is now at his worst form, like Jenson was when he was with Honda.
Remember Jenson when he first came on the scene, had lots of potential, then he went to Renault showed even more potential, then Bar, even better. But when Honda bought out the team and they switch to the earth cars, Jenson's talents died with those 2 cars. He was doomed had it not been for the Brawnda (Brawn-Honda) car. And when he switch to Macca, he was finally able to shine again because he consistently had a car that was competitive.
Massa needs a good car to bring him back up to his heights again. I guarantee if he switched to a win capable car, then he can have a revival. Questions is, who is willing to give him that chance? The only places where he can rebuild his career are not available to him, so yeah he is done in F1 unless he wants to do a Rubens.

The Earth Hondas were some of the worst cars on the grid, you can't blame Jenson for their faults. I mean, the 06 Honda cars as Super Aguris were beating the 07 Honda Earth cars... a year old design shouldn't take it to the factory works' new ride. That thing was hugely flawed from the outset, and it never got fixed. Hence the total season off in '08 and the '09 car's dominance.Remember Jenson when he first came on the scene, had lots of potential, then he went to Renault showed even more potential, then Bar, even better.

No no, def not blaming Jenson for the cars failures. Am saying that the car killed Jenson's skills somewhat, and even driver like him could not get that car to go anywhere. It def killed his motivation, and his eagerness to come to work everyday. I forget where I read this, but he was considering retiring after those two shitty earth cars coz of how bad things were and Ross Brawn talked him into 1 more season which was what turned his whole career around. And I think a true mark of a champion, they need a full package of more than just raw skill, they need a bit of luck, absolute determination and a lot of the intangibles. Jenson is showing he's got it all.
The Jenson we saw last weekend in Oz, is prob the best Jenson we have seen in his whole career. The guy is motivated like never before, he's on top of his craft, he's fitter than most people in the field (and that's saying a lot comparing him to all F1 drivers), he's having the best time of his life, and he could not be happier except if he won another championship.
But the point I was making, is that if Massa was given a Brawnesque car this season it could turn him around into a top flight driver like he has shown in the past. However since he is not gonna get that, his career as a top level F1 driver is prob more than likely over. And given all the bad air surrounding him, Fisi could prob come in, with less pressure and do a better job. I think is their best days, Massa in better than Fisi, but it would be interesting to compare the Massa now to the Jenson in those earth car years.
