F1:2008 - The story so far…the teams

Two races in and it’s hard to really assess how this season is going to pan out given that the two races have led to six different people on the podium, but already there are some clear winners and losers among the teams.

This is how I think the teams have faired in the season openers:

Ferrari :  Last year’s champions, but they are going to struggle to retain the title if they carry on as they are.  Uncharacteristic mechanical failures have resulted in a lot of the drivers’ time being spent off the track.  The drivers haven’t covered themselves in glory either, with both falling off the track in Melbourne before Massa repeated the mistake in Malaysia.

F1:2008 - Anthony Davidson put to the test again?

Anthony DavidsonHe took his time in getting to F1 - on the track at least, as he spent so many years testing for Honda - so it was good to see him get his chance last year, albeit in a car which was pretty far down the grid.

When you are in that position, where you aren’t challenging for the win or even points, all you can hope for is to be ahead of your teammate - after all then you can really honestly blame the car for your lack of performance.
