The Spanish Grand Prix is done and dusted, and it was a strange race with lots of retirements. Kimi Raikkonen is of course the big winner in terms of extending his lead at the top of the Drivers Championship, and his team have now taken control at the top of the Constructors table thanks to another one-two finish. Whether their current dominance can last remains to be seen, but at the moment it would appear they have a bit in reserve should McLaren or BMW bring the fight to them.

Three races into the season and already some people will be feeling the pressure, which will be spurring them on to try for a good result this weekend in Spain.

And how nice it is to be back to having a race to talk about instead of other offtrack shenanigans!

So who needs to have a good race at Barcelona?

There’s no denying it, at 37 years of age David Coulthard’s best days are behind him.  Despite many other drivers carrying on well past this age, it would appear that F1 is a young man’s game now and DC will be bumped out of the picture probably sooner rather than later.

It’s unfortunate in my eyes as I think he still has a lot to offer Red Bull, or any other team.  It’s debatable, but I think had he been in a Ferrari during the first couple of races this year he would have given Kimi Raikkonen a much harder time of it than Felipe Massa managed to do.

Imagine someone asks you to draw a racing car, just gives you a blank piece of paper and a pencil - what would be the first thing you’d draw?

Me, I’d probably start at the nose and do a nice sweeping line back then a little dip to symbolise the cockpit (they have raised sides now, but I’m kinda old fashioned!), before rising up to the airbox and then sloping back down over the engine cover to the rear wing.  That wing would be next before adding in the wheels and a line along the floor of the car.

In a somewhat frank interview, Michael Schumacher has pointed the finger of blame squarely at Ferrari’s Felipe Massa over his spin at the first corner of the first race last weekend.

Claiming that Massa was in too low a gear for the corner which in turn initiated the spin, he is also quoted as saying both DC and Massa were to blame for their coming together later in the race, but places more of the blame on his ex-teammate.

You have to say that David could have been a little cleverer about it, but there is no question that Felipe was the cause.   Michael Schumacher
