Yeah
McLaren Mercedes is in a serious and deep trouble. Double engine failures in one race? and no more excuses. The package is just a failure..so far. Come on!, the B.A.R. HONDA is faster and way better in any department. It looks like another Ferrari year. Juan in BMW failed to score as well as his transmission and brake failed. But, hey at least the BMW guy still on track, not like the Mercedes. Hopefully, they can improve a little bit on the next race. just hoping....

I am supremely disappointed in McLaren right now. They have had TWO YEARS to develop this car, given that they never released MP4-18 (remember, Kimi ran in 17D last year as well).
Suffice to say, heads will be rolling. I think Ron Dennis alluded to the fact that certain personelle changes will be made. What's most frustrating / amazing is that they aren't even fully sure of what the problems are, exactly.
I've always been a Tifosi, no question, but I was at least hoping that Kimi and maybe Montoya could make it interestingly challenging this season. I think all hope is lost now for McLaren.

Pushing the limits too hard, like Ferrari in the days of Senna. I feel for you!

Time to dust off the MP-17's (and old-spec engines) yet again. At least those cars can make it to the end ahead of the Minardis & Jordans.

haha and they had a shot to kimi pushing off the staff at last round... i almost forget he is 22 years old only, still in bad temper range...
i'm super disappointed as well...
just totally day and night compared last year.
i even brought a David Courtland/Kimi Raikkinen's Mclear's Hand ready to support them this year...

On the other hand, it's nice to see BAR doing so well. While I love the Ferrari boys, it's nice to see a little bit of competition for the number two and three top teams.

Yeah...Right now Ron Dennis may be wishing he was back with Honda engines!
Great battles though between Sato and Ralf (what a goofball!)
Webber and Alonso...
What a great track! though...wide...fast...3 to 4 good passing zones...big runnoff areas....etc...would be really fun to see something like a Champ car race there where the cars are more evenly matched
Analysists kept talking about passing zones at the hairpins but some of the best action was through the esses.
