So testing for the 2011 season is done, the teams have their data and we have the times. There isn&#8217;t many surprises within the testing times though I would have expected more from McLaren &#8211; not another year spent catching up? If Red Bull stop throwing away points McLaren don&#8217;t have a chance. Ferrari should push them hard and expect Alonso to want that title.
Australia is an odd place, it doesn&#8217;t seem to be that indicative of the season and doesn&#8217;t always show the true pace of the cars. We also know that you can win by being clever here as Jenson Button has shown. Don&#8217;t expect the Red Bull to be off the pace though, or for the brakes to explode, they will be hard to beat.
The tyres will be the great unknown in Melbourne as there isn&#8217;t really anywhere to use the new rear wing or Drag reduction device, [...]]]></description>

Lotus have consistently been the best of the new teams &#8211; but don&#8217;t let that convince you, Mike Gascoyne knows that isn&#8217;t good enough and they are hard at work trying to ensure that next year they are always within a shout of some points, can they do it? Who knows but they stand the best chance.
Jarno Trulli has provided Lotus with a solid platform to both identify the problems with the car and develop what they have for next year, he ensures that they know the car is on the limit and that they are getting the best out of it.
Heikki Kovalainen has also had a good year, he has provided a solid benchmark and pushed Trulli all year. He has provided the team with it&#8217;s best finish this year and hasn&#8217;t thrown the car of the road like some of the other drivers in new teams.

If you&#8217;re driving a Ferrari, Monza is the place you want to win, the Tifosi will celebrate you like a King &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t matter who you are, they may have cheered so loudly a few years ago when your engine expired when driving for a rival but all that is forgotten if your Ferrari takes the chequered flag first.
So Alonso gets another of the jewels for any Ferrari driver and it was all down to about 5 metres out of the pit lane, the team won the race not just Alonso, Buttons stop was about half a second slower than Alonso&#8217;s and that made all the difference. That&#8217;s not to say that the Spaniard couldn&#8217;t have overtaken Button on the track but I don&#8217;t see any reason to believe that he&#8217;d have been able to do something he hadn&#8217;t managed for the first two thirds of the race. But [...]]]></description>

The European race was nothing that spectacular really, dry, an accident &#8211; more on that later, a safety car and some racing. The end result wasn&#8217;t really that interesting given the form of the teams so far this season. What was apparent was how frustrated Alonso is getting inside that Ferrari and that a Lotus and Red Bull have very different braking points. Oh and that 5sec penalties actually exist.
The race itself wasn&#8217;t actually that great once the first few corners were done. Each of the cars was just slightly faster than the ones behind and it was spreading out, except that it for Mark Webber who had managed to find himself in ninth at one point. A few laps down the road Red Bull brought him in for his stop so that he could run in clear air and make up some time of the cars around him. That [...]]]></description>

The Turkish GP promised some close racing after qualifying with a McLaren managing to split the Red Bull&#8217;s on the grid and the shows in practice but it was the Red Bulls that seemingly had everything in the bag, though the McLarens were by no means done when the Red Bulls got together. It was Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s first win of the season as Button continues to pick up solid points as did Mark Webber after the incident which saw him pit for a new front wing and still hold out for third ahead of Michael Schumacher.
The 1-2 for McLaren seemed to mask something between the drivers after the race, Button&#8217;s move for the lead 11 laps from the end showed that he&#8217;s not going to let Hamilton get away with anything though the somewhat lacklustre defence of that position a few corners later seemed a little odd. I wonder what [...]]]></description>

Jenson Button became the first driver in 2010 to win for a second time as he beat Lewis Hamilton home for a McLaren 1-2. Button stayed near the sharp end at the start and then stayed out on slicks when most of the other top drivers pitted for intermediates, this put him out front with Nico Rosberg, as Rosberg started to struggle Button closed up and took the lead he wouldn&#8217;t surrender for the rest of the race. As the drivers on inters started to put the times in that would catch the leaders their tyres went and they had to pit again and so those at the front enjoyed about a 50s lead.
With the race order set for a while those who had stopped started to carve their way through the middle order, Lewis Hamilton showed his skill at overtaking during this phase and by the time the second [...]]]></description>

The Chinese GP has had it&#8217;s moments over the past few years but apart from those it hasn&#8217;t really produced classic races, this year may be different with so many cars fighting over the top spot and with the track being quite different from the other we&#8217;ve had so far we might see a different winner.
The Ferrari&#8217;s will want to improve their performance and get back to the front, along with the rest of the teams they will bring upgrades to this circuit so we might see some change in the ordering throughout the field. Red Bull with turn up full of confidence having scored a 1-2 in Malaysia and having won this race last year. The McLarens will arrive hoping that they can get back on terms with the others as they don&#8217;t quite seem to have had the pace so far this year. Mercedes will be hoping that [...]]]></description>

Sebastien Vettel took a flawless victory in the Malaysian heat which he essentially won in the first corner after he managed to squeeze Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg out. Mark Webber almost had him at one point but a sticking right front air gun and a blistering out lap from Vettel put pay to that chance.
With the McLarens and the Ferraris out of position it was only Hamilton who really made any impression on the other drivers as carved his way though the field though ultimately he only finished just ahead of Massa and Button. Alonso also deserves a mention for nursing a downshift problem through the whole race distance before his Ferrari engine expired two laps from the end, he was close to taking Button even with his problems that would have meant the car was unpredictable under breaking and unbalanced in some of the slower turn ins.

Jenson Button gave a masterclass to the other drivers, he was the bravest man on the tyres and his smooth style meant that he could finish the race on the same tyres that that he drove 4/5ths of the race on. While all the other drivers were fighting and struggling on the worn tyres Jenson Button serenely drove on at the front on his way to his first victory at McLaren.
The race itself was a much better show than in Bahrain and it seems clear that it would have been even if there hadn&#8217;t been the rain at the start. The track lends itself more to overtaking than Bahrain though Michael Schumacher will probably disagree given the amount of time that he spent behind Jaime Alguersuari.
The Red Bulls suffered from mechanical failure again as Sebastien Vettel had a brake failure on his way to retirement and Mark Webber misjudged a [...]]]></description>
