Good race indeed... Amazing drive by Schumacher, both on Qualifying and on the Race. The Qualifying pace was amazing!! :shock: Just shows that with the right tyres the F2005 is one of (if not the) fastest cars on the field.
These new tyres are a huge improvement - they were a bit too soft, but definitely a step foward.
And while they still were good, Ferrari had a pace at the level of the McLarens.
Good show by the Toyotas and the Williams too, and also, congrats to Kimi, he deserved it.
Montoya did a great race too, and I must admit that I'm starting to like him more (in a good way of course
) - He seems more mature now. The old Montoya would probably start kicking the car and stuff. "Fecking idiot!!"
And even if Ferrari didn't win today, seeing the Minardi pulling away from Alonso on the straight made my day.
