Fernando Alonso is leading the race for the championship. In an interview today he said that he had not expected to find himself in this position so early in the season. He attributed his early success to the performance and reliability of the new Ferrari, a car that from the offset he is clearly comfortable with. He sais that it was easy to drive and was kind on its tyres, a vital factor in the new style of racing which has no refuelling.
Lewis Hamilton is concerned that his McLaren does not have the ability to qualify well. This is even more vital in the new format, and he has called on the team to do something about it. It was no use having a car that was fast in the race, he added, if it did not have single lap qualifying pace.
The Red Bull is an incredibly fast car and Sebastian Vettell has clearly shown that he is capable of getting the best out of it, but twice it has broken down when he was in the lead in the opening races. Christian Horner the team principal said that he was convinced that things can be turned around.
Jenson Button, the current champion and winner of the race in Melbourne said that he was hopeful of retaining the world title. He said that there were a few things that McLaren would be adding to their cars and he anticipated that their performance would be better.
