Massa said that he didn't do any quali runs at all, so if pedro did and was only a couple of tenths faster, so Ferrari could be in a very good position.

even if the bmw car will be good enough (which it won't..) there are still the drivers...are nick and robert better than fernando or lewis, i don't think so

the only way BMW can overtake Mclaren is if Mclaren have a problem, BMW dont have the power to challange a fast healthy Mclaren car

Nick did it on Alonso, so I think, yes, it can happen

he did it when alonso's mclaren was slow in bahrain. so as i said, mclaren has to be slow in order for BMW to overtake them. if both cars were healthy on the track, then Mclaren will be be infront. my opinion only.

I think BMW will improve a lot, the best part of the season for BMW is yet to start:
Europe. But I don't think they'll be in the same level of Macca and Ferrari.

Although it's almost 4 weeks since the lst F1 races I'm not really looking forward to it. The races in Barcelona were really boring in the last years. Maybe the new chicane will provide some action like passings

it was only a tiny problem! he had little lack of grip which only would of lost him 0.2 anyway... so i think BMW can overtake them!

yeah i hope 2 :P
at verano, kimi got a new more sensitive steering box so i reckon that was the biggest improvement to making the car more to kimi's liking, i dont think massa had to change his steering box
