Nico Rosberg – DNF
Looks to have been on to score a few points but an overzealous maneuver from Barrichello caused the end of his race. A good effort in qualifying saw him in the top 10 and ahead of his teammate, but with that said I’m sure Nico would have been hoping for a race winning car this season which doesn’t look like he will get.
Michael Schumacher – DNF
Schumacher’s race effectively lasted 3 turns before a collision causes his right rear tyre to fail. Even so he still qualified behind his team mate Rosberg so at this stage it looks like things have continued from where they ended last year. Michael will surely want to correct this soon, whether he can or not is to be seen.
The Race
The team had various problems this weekend which hampered their ability to setup the car properly, nevertheless I don’t expect them to be challenging for race wins this year. They may get the odd podium but when you consider they have at least Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault ahead of them in terms of performance it will be big mountain to climb.
