Ferrari scored a win through Michael Schumacher at Nurburgring, a week ago, and it sure looked like Ferrari is back in action after clinching two consecutive races.
Yet 3 hours ago, it appears that the Ferrari team could still work on improving the performance of their machines as Fernando Alonso of Renault scored an easy win in Barcelona, becoming the first Spaniard to win a race in his home country.
Now, if you are asking me how the Barcelona F1 result is different from the results from the Imola and Nurburgring races, I'd probably tell you that the result this time round did not boil down to a battle of pit-stop strategies. It was all about who had the better race car and tyres.
Obviously, Ferrari just didn't have a comparable package this time round - Alonso was able to continuously clock fantastic lap times regardless of whether he had a full fuel load or not; and he grabbed the checkered flag 18 seconds ahead of Schumacher.
But what about the other teams? Judging from the performance of the other teams so far, it doesn't look very convincing other than the folks working for the Ferrari and Renault garage are able to have a real stab at the Drivers' Championship and Constructor's Title.
They will just end up being the bridesmaids unless they are able to come up with some miracles to come up to par with the top two teams.
