The first race of the season was last weekend in Melbourne and in case anybody still had doubts, the Ferraris kicked everybody's ass. The controlled the race from beginning to end, because nobody comes close to the power that these two cars have. And without news of Raikkonen, Montoya, Coulthard or Ralf Schumacher, future Spanish F-1 champion Fernando Alonso didn't need to take his skills to the limit to reach the end of the race in a fantastic 3rd position, if you keep in mind the difference in power between the Ferrari and the Renault. He didn't leave the 3rd position that he reached right after the start, when overtook the two cars that were in front of him immediately after the traffic light turned red... even if he needed to leave the track and drive on the grass for a few meters.
I don't personally think that this year he can do much again the Ferrari but who knows, maybe in one or two years he'll be given the chance to drive a Ferrari (many people see him as the natural successor of Michael Schumacher), and then we'll have for the first time a Spanish Formula-1 champion!
