Bad Luck For Kimi at Australian GP

Coming to Australia as the world champion, Kimi failed to win in the Australian GP. It's really a bad luck for him and all Ferrari team. His car had trouble at the qualifying session, causing him to start from P 15, while Felipe Massa, his team mate started from P 4. Carrying more fuel, Kimi succeed to pass 7 cars and ended at P 8 after his good start. I thought he can at least get 1 point this time.

The race today is really terrible ! A lot of cars crashed each other, engine problems, human error... All of that causing safety car hold the race for 3 times. I feel quite relieved when Kimi got to P3, the podium point. But....not for long. He seemed can't control his car everytime he got to pass a car. I don't know what happened, is it because of the new regulation of control traction ?

Anyway, he ended up in P8 (thanks to Barrichello who was disqualified). So...1 point today, Kimi ! Quoting the latest release from Ferrari's official site, Kimi is not yet completely happy with the F2008 handling.  But, this is just the beginning. I still can see his spirit to keep pushing in every situation, even in the worst. That's what makes me a great fan (besides of his coolness, of course !)....
