i actually agree with head on this one...
since i was at the race, i saw some amazing laps by both amazing drivers. clearly, in the first half (predominantly, after the pace car left the field) michael shumacher was setting near, or the fasted lap each lap, and gaining massive time ahead of no. 2 rubens.
but when M. S. had his pit, rubens easily passed, and gained almost 20 seconds on M.S. due to shumacher not having such brilliant lap times (more wieght due to fuel?)
after that, Berrichello pitted, and was held the entire 20 seconds... just in time for M.S. to pass R. B. on the exit of the pit... then in turn 1 and 2, Rubens clearly had the better line, and would have passed had M. S. not closed in on the turn early, cutting him off. they were neck and neck for about 10 laps after that... all the while Takuma was performing amazing passes, and setting fastest laps to make an amazing leap to podium.
