Well the last 15 laps were amazing but the rest was not that brilliant IMO. Feel so sorry for poor Kimi once again..

[saadie]

the race just finished ... was an awsome race .....
in this race alonso>schumi .. i loved the he kept him behind himself ... 8) 8) .

they should change the Tyres and qualification rule to what it was in 2004 .... and there should be new engines in every race ... :roll:

[Max Power]

most exciting race this whole year, but fucking mistake by MS in qualy cost him huge.....dammit that was an awesome race

[saadie]

they said something like the wanted to save barichello's the engine fer the next GP .. lol thats absolutly wrong ..

btw .. i loved what JV did in the begenning and how he cracked webber ... hes finally showing tht hes comming abck 8) 8) 8)

[twboy1999]

man
that was one of the most exciting race

first part was boring.. after the first pit stop... shucmacher was on a rampage...
he was so freaking fast.. he was down over 20 sec behind alonso.. and caught up to him

i wish he pass alonso. but oh well

this really show that f1 acerodynamic is really influence by the car infront of them

and renault's traction off the corners are just amazing

[Joel]

Well I would just like to say that ITV's F1 coverage fucking sucks!!! Three laps to go with Schumi all over the back of Alonso and they cut to a 3 minute commercial break!!!!!!!!!!!!FFS :fist:

:2gunfire:

useless cunts

[komotar]

The second part of the race was awesome. Too bad for Kimi and Fisichella.

This season has been perfect so far. Every race had something interesting to offer.

I hope things continue to be this good.

[saadie]

@twboy yeah its called slip stream ... it works by the vortexe's created by the rear wing and the heat comming from the engine tht makes the area in the stream thin which had less drag and woom the car on yer back in way in front of yea .....

btw .. can anyone explain how the ferrari came out of nowhere and started doing 1:22 when th others were at 1:24 thats fecking amazing ...

[|Nuno|]

:shock: Mama mia!!! My hands are still shaking!

What an amazing race by Michael!! :shock:

Seems like Ferrari is back on track.

Best race so far this year. Also, very good race by Alonso, Villenueve and Wurz. Shame about Kimi and Rubens tough...

Williams was quite disappointing as well...


And funny how the portuguese commentators kept saying that Michael was low on fuel after he started putting those uber fast laps, and yet he pitted later than Alonso and Button...

[Max Power]

surprisingly shumi didn't try to hit alonso to try and pass him, he lost more points had he chosen the do or die strategy....perhaps shumi is getting soft

I absolutely ageee! I was fucking livid when the advers went on. I think we should all send an email about that. They spoilt the best battle in F1 for the last 3 years. What useless idiot decided to do that.

Appart from that, fantastic race! Ferrari showed their typical genius when Shumi jumped all those places. Alonso worked hard though, and deserved that win 100%. So much for Shumi trying to psych him out pre race.

Button was caught sleeping which was a shame, but certainly an improvement. Hope the season continues to be as exciting. Although, going on Ferrari's performance, they could dominate again!
