Interessting mid season, I can't remember having 3 drivers with the same ammount of points at this stage and the 4th being only a couple of points behind. I'm not saying it never happened, I don't have that data right now, I'm just saying wow, not in a long time at least.
Now after Germany things are still pretty close, maybe McLaren's got the upper hand now, but the way this is going, Ferrari can suprise us again as soon as next race, witch I dubt it at this point.
I think Ferrari got some how confortable thinking that the Maca's will have to work really hard to recover the small difference they had in favor. Personally I thought that the pace of McLaren at Silverstone was just because the circuit suit them better than the ferraris, but now after Germany... well I strting to think they find the way.
I read that a double paddle shifting (2 on each side) at the McLarens have made the difference on wheel spining out of the corners. I'm hoping somebody can enlight me better.
The idea I get is that the driver can shift into a higher gear or a gear with less power by using the alternative gear when they get out of a corner to avoid wheel spining. And then use the regular when they are increasing om straight line.
My thinking is the Ferrari will probably strugle for another race before recuping from it. I for sure think this is far from over. McLaren needs to cash on this opportunity.
I Know that Lewis would have been in a better possition in the Championship if he would have been more carefull in Canada and had a bit more pacience in the early stages. but... never leave points for tomorrow... Championship is long and anything can change.
BMW's wow, Canada was a deserved win for Robert, but, to be honest it wasn't to be in normal conditions. He wasn't in the pace of Lewis or Kimi that day.
Now they seam to be a clear step... or 2 steps back now. Maybe working into the 2009 contender or just can't get more out of that car. Shame, I like a good battle at the front.
