I'm sure it's just the new car design helping airflow into the engine which has increased the power The engine freeze is the single dumbest rule I can ever remember in f1 and there have been lots of them.

So once again, the McLarens seem very strong. In the previous GP we saw the same pattern, however McLaren then proceeded to get caught out in the rain. Lets hope this time around they don't mess up.
It will be interesting to see if RedBull can dominate qualifying again, if McLaren do manage to make it to final qualifying.
Also, the Mercedes are looking competitive, with Rosberg once again outperforming MS.

It's RedBull's qualifying pace which is beating the Ferrari/McLarens.
How the hell have RedBull managed to get their car so low to the ground in low fuel configuration? Surely, they must be breaking some rules - but given that their car has passed inspections for 3 races - they obviously aren't.

Maybe they make the drivers eat loads of pies and they sweat off the extra weight during the race? Or it would be ice cream if Kimi was racing
I'm in the same position - my Dissertation is handed in on Monday so it looks like I won't get chance to see the race
I'll undoubtedly find out the results before watching it too
The tethers came off with the wheels. The entire front assembly seems to have fallen apart.
Yeah, only 1st and 2nd in the WDC and 1st in the WCC, must be crap them lot
Only by utter fluke, under normal circumstance they would be well behind red bull and mclaren in the tables.
Red Bull perhaps..
If's and but's...
You can come up with reasons why Ferrari are leading the championships; the fact remains that they are leading both and are in a great position.
...until you look in the engine cupboard...
The engine that blew up today was one of the ones changed during the first weekend in Bahrain and according to Ferrari there was no problem with it and it was just a precaution. Refitted it and 6 laps in - poof! I'm guessing that they're not going to risk doing the same with Massa's car which also had the engine changed in Bahrain.

Can't get near it, it's full of smoke
The engine situation is definitely a worry, but its not a championship loser (unless the engines keep breaking during the races and DNF's become common place). If Ferrari need to use extra engines, they can simply take grid penalties and race with new engines. Alonso is capable enough to be able to get good points totals, even when starting the race in the middle of the grid.
I can see what you are saying though - going through so many engines so early in the season means extra pressure is placed on the team/drivers.
