I think our strategy in the first two races is very good especially with Kimi in Sepang they utilized the free space to get kimi ahead of the pack which has a long train from Hulkenberg(P4) to Kvyat (P11) giving him more room to utilize his pace.

This was truly the best race in years.....or last year has just made me forget how exciting a Formula 1 race could or should be.

I want more

Not to offend you, but I think the second one

People think Merc will bounce back after Malaysia and beat Ferrari by ~30 seconds... Everyone is drinking that strategy/tire kool aid, but comes China there will be even bigger surprise on hand. Only Mark Hughes wrote "Ferrari are closer then we thought" yesterday, with alot of negative feedback though...He said difference is around 2 tenths of a second per lap, it certainly did look like that when both Ham and Vettel where on mediums in first 4 laps, he simply couldn't shake him. Can't wait for China

I'm quite optimistic for China, we may not win but I don't think that Merc will win by much if they do.

Everyone is saying how Malaysia's hot conditions suited our car.

1 point they are forgetting is that in Austrailia the weather was much cooler, Kimi was at one stage showing excellent race pace comparable to the Mercedes. Kimi however had to retire and could not show us the full picture. Seb had no reason to push once he cleared Massa.

China has a long straight were overtaking will be possible and we have nice straight line speed.
