Not even in their wildest dreams, Ferrari's people did not think they would take the checkered flag at 2ο Gran Prix of the year. The percentages and performance of Scuderia's car seemed to be far from the top of the podium.
But the weather had another view and the Spanish pilot Ferrari looked as if he were wearing the intermediate eraser for rain. The one round went behind the other and the first seemed to be easy. But there was Mexican Perez who did things and miracles with Sauber. The best place in his career was that for the Mexican who leaves promises for the future!
Hamilton was another third as his technicians made several mistakes in the pit and this cost the English first. Fourth, Webber made a stable fight while Raikonen probably remembered the old one.
