Last weekend was one of the best races of this season. Yes! , its just because Ferrari won the race and the strategy and drivers working really hard to get on top! :)
For me, this was the only race which reminded me of Schumi... Both kimi and Massa showed a stint of what Schumi would've done if he was in that position...
Kimi, starting from 2nd kept on pushing and he did so well that he could easily overtake Hami in the first pit stops.. and for the second time around.. he pushed so hard before he pitted that he almost ran till the last drop of the fuel. This is exactly what Schumi would've done.. or rather Ferrari/Schumi teaming would've done. I'm so glad that Ferrari strategy and kimi driving is all coming into place to take on the competition.
For Massa , with the bad luck of the ferrari getting stalled at the beginning of the race and had to start from back of the grid.. Again, what Ferrari/Schumi would've done? Switch to one pit stop startegy and keep pushing.. the way he overtook the slow and compartively fast cars was really good... he could make up 8 positions within 10 laps of the race... May be if Schumi was in place of Massa.. we would've seen him on the podium inspite of starting from the back! ;)
Nevertheless, its not going to be a cakewalk for McLaren, 8 more races to go and I'm sure 25 points is not a unbeatable gap!
