I agree with Michael... this isn't some stroll in the park. This is racing.

That said, its bovious why Rubens and Ralph aren't champions, while Schumi is...

For once, I think schumi has a right to be arrogant, not too much wrong with the overtaking - ralf and barichellos fault for being asleep

Ralf has been complaining and dis-ing his brother alot lately. I remember they used to be very close until Williams-BMW are more competitive and the 2 has more chance of fighting for positions.

Check out this pic of one of the Renault's rear tyres: :shock:



They were very lucky to make it to the end without it blowing up...

I think he did the right thing, the risk wasn't worth it - if he went off then he gets no points, at least this way he still got 4th place and some valuable points
He had no chance to keep the Williams' cars behind him without being unfair and blocking them

During Mid race, you could see the car getting closer and closer to walls...But amazingly Alonoso kept it together...

U got a point there dude...but schui,trui, and that jackass villenurve had nothing to loose, they where all out to gain. Alonso could have lost out big time if he tried to keep the pace, something is better than nothing i guess.

The grooves aren't an issue anymore, but what amazes me is that it wore down to the carcass.
