yea they DQed Barichello after the race. So Kimi got 1 pt. for 8th place. I felt really bad for Bourdais, POS Ferrari engines.

 

There was a time, not long ago, that Ferrari Engines were considered to be Bullet proof. I think it's Ironic that McLaren has been showing fairly good reliability this past year+ that is night and day to when Kimi was racing with them.

Too bad for Honda. Still, I'm proud of the performance they displayed in this race. I'm sure Kimi could have passed Barichello earlier; however, he didn't blow by Honda as other cars did last yeare. I felt very bad for Super Aguiri (sp?) or as they are affectionately dubbed as "Super Friends". I heard that they are having financial "make or break" issues. Also, I heard SF are using the same chassis that Factory Honda was using last year?! I hope hey can get better performance than Honda did.

One short week wait for Malaysia. This is the first night time F1 race right?

 

I'm a Kimi fan, but this is awesome! Can't stop laughing

Ferrari certain engine issues won't repeat

By Jonathan Noble Thursday, March 20th 2008, 06:55 GMT

Ferrari are confident that their engine problems that marred their Australian Grand Prix were a one-off, after getting to the bottom of what caused their dramas in Melbourne.

The Italian team suffered a double engine failure on Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen's cars at Albert Park, and flew the power units back to their Maranello base for analysis of what caused the malfunctions.

This work has established that the higher-than-expected temperatures in Australia contributed to a fuel-feel problem, which in turn led to a failure of the intake valves of the engines.

A Ferrari spokesman told autosport.com in Malaysia: "It was a fuel-feed problem partly related to the hot temperatures in Melbourne. It provoked a failure of the intake valve on both engines.

"It wasn't a quality control problem, nor was it a cooling problem. Obviously, you can't change these engines so we will work hard on improving the mapping, but we're confident this was a one-off."

Ferrari have also rubbished any talk that their problems were related to the introduction of the standard ECU in Formula One this year.

"It was not an ECU problem, although the new units do mean we have to learn new methods to operate the engine," added the spokesman.

 

Laughing attempt was DAMN HILARIOUS!!!! I cired laughing.
