Nick said the car was undrivable in the race due to damage apparently, he didn't get a good qualy lap due to traffic (Hispanias being exceptionally slow desperately trying qualify, so they weren't getting out of the way).
Just a very bad weekend for Quick Nick, hopefully he's better for Sepang.
Yes, I'm not so sure Petrov is getting the full performance out of the car based on his previous record. Something that Kubica has very much proven he can do.
Petrov always had speed, we saw that on occasion last year. I wouldn't claim he is a different man just yet, he needs to show more consistency over the seasons and over sessions. He had several good races last year but they were sporadic and on occasion ruined by silly errors.
I think once again people are not giving due credit to the team and car too, just as they didn't last year.

Is it really so hard to think that Petrov is already at those dizzy heights?
I don't think people are afraid of devaluing Petrov's result. Quite the opposite. They're just assuming that because Kubica was so much faster than Petrov in 2010, then everything has remained equal over the winter and so he must still be faster than Petrov in equal amounts. People are just overlooking the fact that the Petrov we saw today was totally different to the Petrov we have seen in the past.
