The European Grand Prix produced plenty of interesting things to watch out for in the coming weeks and races to come. Here are some:
- Raikkonen (more and more) shows that he lacks either the quickness or the desire to compete with Massa and Hamilton.
- Massa finally showed some muscle while dominating the qualifying and the race, never relinquishing the race lead he had from the start.
- F1 is like a procession of expensive cars. No overtaking maneuvers were done during the entire race except for the one Coulthard pulled over a Honda car and the front runners lapping the bottom dwellers.
- Vettel is the next big superstar.
- Spanish circuits are jinx to Alonzo. Or Alonzo is a jinx to any Spanish circuits?
- Ferrari should concentrate their resources on supporting Massa. Kimi should be relegated to number two driver status because of his poor showing the whole season.
- Schumacher should come out of retirement and pair up again with Massa next season if Ferrari can’t get Alonzo’s services. Or maybe try to steal Trulli from Toyota.
- Ferrari’s pit crew looked too much under pressure to perform better producing several mistakes during the pit stops of both Kimi and Massa.
- How about that gang sign (? devil’s horn) Massa kept on flushing after the race? Weird eh.

I just want to help you out on the last point. The “devils horn” is the pinkie and the index finger. What Massa showed are sign language for I love you.

Trulli never will drive a Ferrari, you know the team never contract an italian driver, Enzo legacy…
