its okay actually

At least they are improving from melbourne. At least Kimi can go beyond 10 laps, hehehehe. at least he qualified 5th not 10th, and Coulthard got 3 points instead of 1 in melbourne. So, if you compare the result from melbourne, they are improving, and it will take time to bring the team to match the ferrari.
It was quite an interesting race seeing Juan P. Montoya chasing Schumacher until Ruben blocked him then he has to backed off, and he was very pissed off with him and mentioned ruben's attitude in the press conference.

Raikkennen's no Hakennen (sp)( yet/possibly) and Coulthard IMHO was always a "nearly man" no matter what he drove. He should retire and let someone else have a go.

I think they are trying too hard with the car and engine like Ferrari in the late 80's early 90's and reliability is going to haunt them.
