Its the 3rd of April and all you fools had your day when I was away. Yes, the fool writing this was in Pune helping his grandmother shift home. The fool in question was with his maternal grandparents after the shifting was over on 1st April and was watching Bean and Liar Liar. Both Rowan Atkinson and Jim Carrey are the ultimate comedians. While Jim has a thousand faces and voices and is a great goofus Bean always makes us laugh with the situations he manages to get himself into. I think this post right now has no point so let me move on from Bean and Jim.
Onto more serious matters now... Ferrari had a pathetic race in Australia with both drivers crashing out of the race. Ferrari definitly has the pace to challenge Renault but they have to get their qualifying right if they are to fight at the front of the field. Bahrain was the only race in which Ferrari qualified at the sharp end of the grid and in that race Schumacher did hassle Alonso's Renault. In Malaysia both Ferrari's started from outside the top ten because they were penalised for changing their engines. Had Schumacher started from 4th, which is where he qualified, and with his strategy, he would surely have challenged Fisico for the win. In Australia again, Massa crashed out in qualifying causing a red flag when Schumi was on his lap and when the session got under way again it rained, so Schumi didn't get to put in a decent lap and started from 11th. He was upto fifth after the first round of pit stops and was closing in on Button at 2 seconds a lap. But then he piled it into the barrier and it was race over for him.
So what Ferrari need to do is get their qualifying right. They have the pace for sure and if the line their cars up at the sharp end of the grid then victory will be within their grasp. And what better place to turn around their fortunes than at San Marino, the home track for the Scuderia and in front of the passionate tifosi.
