Today Räikkönen demonstrated a virtually flawless driving. His car looked extremely stable and highly competitive. His finishing 19.5 seconds ahead Robert Kubica talks a lot.

It's a pity that Felipe Massa was not able to finish the race. Moreover, the Brazilian driver was quite ahead of BMW's Kubica when Massa made a mistake, which cost the Brazilian to retire from the race altogether. If not this unfortunate fact, the race would have been perfect for Ferrari. But, nothing is perfect in this world and I only hope that Ferrari will improve from the race to the race.

Getting back to Kubica, the young driver has demonstrated the great skill of driving. It must also be mentioned that BMW has fantastically improved their cars and I will dare to say that the Formula 1 cars of BMW are on a par with those of Ferrari and McLaren-Mercedes. I believe we will see more podiums from the BMW drivers during this season.

Overall, the race was not very successful for the British-German team, but it was not that bad either. After all, Heikki Kovalainen finished on the podium and Hamilton managed to finish 5th. Of course, this is not what the Briton expected and hoped for, but the outcome could have been worse, especially if we take into consideration the poor starting positions of both Kovalainen and Hamilton.

Today was an excellent day for Toyota's Jarno Trulli. Toyota's Italian driver managed to finish the 4th. Despite the attacks from Hamilton by the end of the race, Trulli managed to retain his position. Overall, Toyota has made considerable progress. It looks like that the recent changes in the management of the team are giving results.

Unfortunately, Sebastien Bourdais did not manage to finish the race. If in the opening race the Frenchman dropped out by the end of the race, today Bourdais dropped out right in the opening of the race. I think it will take some more time for the Champ Car guru to get accustomed to the Royal Racing sport.
