It happens that I just watched again (yesterday) the F1 official review of the 2003 season, and it's hard to find any driver that commited no mistake. Kimi would have won the WDC had he not made those qualifying mistakes at Spain and Canada.

How on Earth can the 2003 Ferrari be the third best car having won the WCC and 50% of the races? . because it had a guy called schumacher driving it? Then, how do you rate Barrichello? Because Michael is the driver that has the least point advantage over his teammate. Also, look at the win number.....

The 2002 car was far superior to any other car on the grid, and, according to Ross Brown, the 2003GA was even faster (up to 0,5 sec). Tyres are the key to understand the ups and downs of performance (see...

Obviuosly they share info, but I'd say that this weekend TR's good result may be up to something related to sponsors, as Kvyat is Russian, they may have taken out something out of their sleeves for this race. Anyway, let's see if they can keep it up tomorrow.
