The new red cars (2003ga) were not, it seemed, able to leave the grid standing and it was some what gratifying to find a Renault that was able to split the ferraris on the podium. Admitted Alonso was driving in front of his home crowd which can be deemed as an increase in performance, but I personally think the writing may be on the wall for ferrari (and McLaren and Williams) when Renault finally get the increase in power they need. Their chassis is equal or better than the 03ga and the new 'Mac' and Williams are relying on BMW to disguise their problem child. The 'ifs'in Spain - if Trulli had not been punted off - ferrari no 2 might not have been on the podium.
