Ferrari F1 car is a dog?

That's what David Coulthard called it today at the Chinese Grand Prix. They finished 9th and 13th after qualifying 9th and 12th - not at their best for sure, but not dogs in my vocabulary. Perhaps I mis-heard. That said, it was great to see racing maestro Ross Brawn's Mercedes car win in the hands of Nico Rosberg, leading home the Mercedes engined McLarens of Jensen Button and Lewis Hamilton. The next five cars home were all Renault powered, including both the Red Bulls and both the Williams machines. Cars which I might call "dogs" would not make it through qualifying.
