Niki Lauda critic on Ferrari drivers 

Despite the lack of reliability that Ferrari has shown yesterday in Melbourne, the three time World Champion Niki Lauda, said that Ferrari’s weakest link in the Australian Grand Prix, were both its drivers. “Kimi Raikkonen did not seem like the world champion,” said Lauda to Germany’s Bild. The Finn, while overtaking, missed his breaking point and ended in the gravel, and he later put a wheel on the grass and spun out. The Brazilian instead, lost control and hit the wall with F2008′s front wing during the first lap and had a collision with David Coulthard which caused the end of the race for the Scot.

“I do wonder about him (Raikkonen), because he really did everything wrong, but Massa was no better. Everything that they could do wrong, they did do wrong,” the Austrian champion added.
