I think Massa is trying out a one stop or a very long first stint in a two stop strategy based on his QLF3 times. Looks like Raikonnen, Alonso and Fisi are fueled pretty similarly. Michael's 1 second deficit can partially be explained by carrying a bit more fuel than the top three but most of it is tires fading as the temperature heated up towards the end of the QLF 3 session.

I think the Bridgestones are designed to work well in a very narrow temperature range and the performance falls off badly if the temps are higher or lower than the prediction prior to the race. I think the Michelins are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations - bigger sweet spot. Hmmmm

^ Yeah, but they could have calculated it so that he came in with a few laps of fuel left, 8 seconds may have been enough to get him to the end.


Anyone hoping the Wall of Champions claims Alonso?

^No kidding, I used to sit for the entire race, but now I only sit for the beginning and the end.

Not a bad race from Schumi, I was expecting worse from yesterday quali performance. I guess Bridgestone is to blame there.

Lol kimi 2 big same mistakes in same curve, seems the problem of the track is the dirty part of the route ( ive tryed to translate "Trazada" ) and the new asphalt on hard curves like the pin curve ( in spain its called "curva alfiler" ) that gives more grip but if you get out of the route youre fucked...

LOL@ Rosberg vs Montoya , Rosberg has said that he didnt saw Juan Pablo, but Juan Pabo said thats not true, even he said theres no problem cause are things of races...
I think itwas a " Who has more balls competition"... And we all know VERY WELL that Juan Pablo has very big big and crazy balls LOL!!

What about the little friction of Schumacher with Champions walls?? omg, peeled the tyre like a potato LOL!!

Villenueve went out from the route while trying to overtake.... its a pity...

What the fuck happened to Massa???

LOL Kimi first drinking and then shaking the champagne in the podium LOL

Too bad for Fisichella that jump start... but that 1 sec between the red light turns green its neverending...

Very nice images of Sato going straight to the camera of the champions wall LOOOOOL!!

Superb race performances by Michael and Alonso. Kimi was fantastic till the first pitstop and then it was all over in terms of fighting for the win.

There was so much of "clag" (dirt, dust, rubber bits) on the road that it looked like Paris Dakar at the end of the hairpin.

Virtually everyone made some mistake or other throughout the race.

I don't know if Ralf is an idiot or his car was being driven by remote control by some kid in the stands - it seemed to move very erratically Good on Trulli for finally getting some points on the board.

i think we were just unfortunate that kimi ran ınto probs to challenge alonso. montoya has to be my highlight. his pure aggression when throwing the car about braking stuidly late and sorting it out wıth a twitch made me sit on the edge of my seat. great stuff although i think rosberg would beg to differ
