Ferrari in the 3rd race without podium in 2008 F1

Monday, July 7th, 2008

In this year Ferrari was not on podium in 3 F1 races : Melbourne, Montreal and Silverstone.

This is interesting just because in 2007 F1 season Ferrari was not on podium just at Montreal. In all other races they were on podium with at least one car. In 17 races in 2007 F1 season Ferrari in 6 races was with 2 cars on podium : Bahrain, Magny Cours, Istanbul, Spa-Francochamps, Shangai and  Intelagos.

This was very good comparing to 2006 F1 season when they not score on 4 races, and had double podium in 5 races from 18.

But Ferrari lead this season F1 constructor,having 96 points, followed by BMW with 82. This because in first 9 races they have double podium in 4 races Bahrain, Catalunya, Istanbul and Magny Cours and except Istanbul they won first and second place.

What if they got podium in each race like last season?!
