Raikkonen was awesome today. Shame about the tire delamination or else it would have been a certain podium I believe. His qualifying was amazing considering how much fuel he had onboard. The Speed TV commentators were mentioning that he was probably carrying 45kg more fuel in the car than Michael, a penalty of 1.85 secs/lap. Despite this weight penalty, he still qualified 1 second faster than Michael. :shock: If there was no engine failire, he would have run away with the win.

Pizzonia did a great job coming from the back to win considering he last drove the V10 Williams three months back. Too bad they didnt show a single second of TV coverage of his drive.

Webber just cannot seem to get a clean race. Every race he has to hit someone or have the car start slow on him and pay the penalty for it. He needs to realize that it is one thing to qualify very well but it takes a certain amount of patience to get the points.

So Schumacher has been elimated from the title contention to no one's surprise. Ferrari has also been eliminated from the constructor's title as well this race.

We saw a fiesty Barrichello today - he would have finished ahead of Schumi if wasnt for an extra stop to change the left rear tire.

Trulli did pretty well in the race today compared to his usual fade to the rear as the race progresses.

Alonso had another clean, easy race to strong podium finish. The Renaults were only a little slower than the McLarens from a race perspective - I was expecting a bigger gap given the stupendous qualifying pace.
