Throughout winter testing I have read many downplay Kimi and his abilities with the car. He was practically thrown at the steak for consistently being beat by his teammate Massa and others. “Testing is testing”, which is what I said. Though it was understood that Massa would definitely have the advantage due to time with the team and car. Well, guess who shocked us all with a blazing fast qualifying lap? Kimi of course. Guess who followed through from pole qualy to pole winner? Kimi, the IceMan did! Kimi did a great job.

Hamilton, also performed exceptionally well getting a podium finish with his debut race.
