Ferrari win

[Spiddy]

Ferrari have finally won a race in this year's F1calendar What's that all about

[narfire]

I'm not following the F1 with too much detail, but I have noticed most of the constructors have either won or been close to the pole in the races to date. Does this mean the teams are becomming a bit more even? No more Maclaren/ Ferrari domination? I think the Indian team had the pole at todays race in Belgum.
Whos in the lead in the constructors catagory?

The teams are indeed becoming more even, making the season a lot more enjoyable. Force India had pole today driven by Fissicela and would have won had it not been for the safety car after the first lap. As the safety car went in, the Ferrari using KERS got into the lead. However, Fissicela (I wish I could spell Fissicela) stuck to the Ferrari like glue and ultimately was the faster car - but just couldn't get by.

Leading the Constructors is Brawn, and Jenson Button (Brawn) is still leading the Drivers Championship. Unfortunately, he was caught up in the pile-up on the first lap and retired.

You're right of course Craig, but Fisi has a bit of a predicament. The problem is, his current team (Force India) has the faster car and it has every chance of winning races. And surely, winning is what it's all about - that and collecting trophies. Plus, he knows the car. He doesn't know the Ferrari and the rules wont allow him to practice. So he'll be in the same boat as Badoa and wont stand a chance of even a podium finish.

On the other hand, the chance to proove yourself in a Ferrari in front of the home crowd........... What would you do?

Ken,
The announcers on our F1 broadcast said that Fisi made a statement earlier in his career,that he would 'quit driving for whatever team he was employed by and get in a Ferrari' if the opportunity arose.Welll....we will see if he is a man of his word.You are correct,as usual,that the Force India is the better car right now(God...I cant believe I just said that ).It will be interesting to see what transpires.

Announced today: Fisi is driving for Ferrari untill the end of the season. Apparently, Force India are very happy with the deal struck between themselves and Ferrari. Mucho dinero

Thank you for the info,Spiddy! It will be fun to see how well(or poorly)he does in a completely unfamiliar car.I am happy for him that his lifelong dream has been realized.
