With the limits on testing it is going to be more difficult than in past seasons to move the cars forward significantly. Having said this the other teams, especially Ferrari and McLaren have some very talented people... We will see.. personally I see Button for the championship..

I think this is the best observation I've read this season. And I couldn't agree more. I guess time will show. I'm kinda interested to see what happens with McLaren now, especially after that public apology. Hope Renault pull their horses together soon. We need it. “One thing is clear from the Chinese GP – as soon as the “top” teams sort out their new diffusers completely, Brawn GP won’t be a championship contender.”

I just fear that when the "top" teams sort out their diffusers we won't have as many surprise winners. <strong>Jason</strong> - It's interesting that McLaren are still running KERS. They seem to believe in it. I can't believe so many teams invested so heavily into it only to abandon their program. But I guess the only thing that matters is the lap time at the end of the day :) In regard to all the scandal with McLaren it's a real shame. I think lying is a serious issue, but on the other hand it's been seriously blown out of proportion. Can you imagine if McLaren was the only team running the double-decker diffuser - it'd be banned within a single race :) The other thing is McLaren is gearing up to produce a whole series of road cars which look like they'll be magnificent. The last thing they need is all this bad PR. <strong>Caitlin</strong> - Kimi selling hot dogs... LOL! :D Well at least you have Vettel to cheer about while Ferrari get their act together :) Deep down I have to wonder how badly do Ferrari need someone like Alonso to develop the car? <strong>YNA</strong> - Ferrari seem to have the potential, they just keep missing a piece or 2 in each race. Once they put it all together they should be ok. I just hope it's not too late :( <strong>Agata</strong> - I think BMW is just as disappointing as Ferrari and McLaren this season. I guess it serves them right for creating such an ugly car... just kidding ;) Funny to think Vettel could have been in the BMW camp but ended up in the "secondary" Red Bull Racing yet now he's looking very good in the championship :) Susan – The difference the new diffuser made for Lewis seemed pretty clear didn’t it?

We have been going from one scandal/drama to the next for the past few seasons...now that's embarassing ;) It has become so common that I don't think the lie-gate has even been discussed here. I am not suggesting it should be...I would rather discuss the actual racing any day. :) ….besides how do you think us McLaren fans feel?

I love Sebastian Vettel! I think he's so underrated too. Nobody else seems to appreciate him as much as I do. Except Germans. God. Is it bad that I'm kind of embarassed to be a Ferrari fan right now? I even had a dream the other night that Kimi was selling hot dogs at a Grand Prix.
