If Mclaren's much hyped car is as fast as it was in Australia last weekend, then i have to eat my words. The car was more than a second behind Ferrari. Mclaren pacers David Coulthard and Kimi actually slated the car.

A couple of days ago, I wanted to switch allegiance to my other favs Renault and BMW Williams ( Was Williams crazy in the mid 90's before switching over the then swashbuckling Silver Arrows (Mclaren). But then did not want to be as fickle as a Roman.

However, read this in some F1 site and though strongly of it as well. Two teams, (Ferrari and Renault) which just focussed on the development of their new racer have added a few Kms/hr pace to their machines.

While the other two contenders for the top Williams and Mclaren were and are still involved in driver politics. Racing guru Frank Williams ( Team Principal BMW Williams) and strategist Ron Dennis( Team principal Mclaren) are experienced enough to know F1 is about 'The Man, The Machine, The Tyres' and not politics or driver trading!
