Ferrari wins at Spa, Force India scores

Finally, a Ferrari made it to the top of the podium. Kimi Raikkonen brought his Ferrari home after fending off a challenge from Force India's Giancarlo Fisichella. Kimi made a good start, overtaking a stationary Ruben Barrichello at the start of the race. The Ferrari's KERS was put into good use on lap 4 (after the Safety Car went back into the pits), as Kimi overtook Fisichella.

Giancarlo Fisichella surprised everyone when he qualified in pole position, giving Force India their first pole position. By finishing 2nd, he also earned Force India their first constructor's points. It is truely a remarkable day for Force India.

This was one race where Ferrari finished first and last, with Badoer coming in last. It was evident that Badoer lacks experience as Barrichello easily overtook him when Badoer left a big gap at one of the turns.

All in all, this was a great race for Kimi and Ferrari. Next stop, Italy.

Waiting for the Singapore F1 GP ...

It's about 1 more month to the Singapore F1 Night race. I am really looking forward to that, though I have not gotten my tickets. Still hesitating.

It was nice to see Ruben win the Spanish GP and Kimi taking the last podium spot for Ferrari. Badoer was a bit disappointing to watch. Given the many years he had as a Ferrari test driver, I was expecting him to do much better. Imagine this ... he was testing cars to ensure the cars are perfect for Schumi and other Ferrari drivers, and he kinda screwed up on his debut. Nonetheless, hope to see Badoer do better in the next race.

Schumi is not coming back ...

So sad that Michael Schumacher is not making his comeback. That's because of his neck injury.

I was really looking forward to seeing him race in Spain and hopefully in Singapore !!! But his health is far more important than making a comeback to help keep Ferrari's season afloat. Now that job will fall on the shoulders of Ferrari's test driver.

At the same, hope Massa is recovering well.

Schumi could be back for Ferrari in Spanish GP

It was really unfortunate that Messa was injured during the last race. That was a really freak accident. Thank goodness for the helmet. But improving the design of helmets is definitely a must. Hope Messa will recover soon.

Meanwhile, with the Spanish F1 GP coming up in Valencia, Ferrari is one driver short. Guess who has been activated to come out of retirement? It's no other than the seven-time F1 Champion, Michael Schumacher.

Schumi has less than a month now to prepare himself for the race. He has not raced at Valencia and he has not driven the F60 before. With the ban on F1 testing, Schumi could not drive the F60 until practice sessions start in Spain.

It would be great to see the great Michael Schumacher back behind the steering wheel of the F60. He is always exciting to watch. Who knows? He might just turn up in Singapore to race in his first ever night race !!!!!!
