anyways ... good to see heidfeld up there thats a cool job he did

ok it does have no rev limit your right. but i would bet any amount of money that his car was not legal weight. ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY. you can take the weight out of schumi's car and he will blow your mind with the time he can prob. put down in a illegal car

On our TVs the distance look big but in reality it was no more then .2, which is dead close in race situation, besides the aero effect is huge even with that distance.

Yea at the speeds reached around Monza, and the fact you're running bare minimum downforce to begin with, it's not entirely unbelievable that Alonso could've affected Massa (though it is definitely questionable). Alonso was on a a warmup lap as well, after having just pitted for fresh tires.

Alonso given penalty, bumped to 10th on the grid.

Excellent. This will heat up the race for the driver's championship.

Whoa, I just woke up and read the news...... :shock:
This is going to be an interesting race. I just hope MS with the help of FM, KM and anyone else stays in front of FA. And for christs sake, DON'T make a similar mistake as in Hungary.... :roll:
For some reason, I have a really bad feeling about this race when it comes to MS/Ferrari.

The full decision of the stewards
A report was received from the race director that stated that the driver of car no. 1, Fernando Alonso, had impeded another driver during qualifying, namely Felipe Massa, car no. 6.
The stewards, after hearing the explanation of both the drivers, their team managers, and having seen video evidence and data supplied by Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, find that:
1. Fernando Alonso was on his out-lap and, having been caught by Felipe Massa, did impede him;
2. To impede another driver during the qualifying practice session is an offence (Article 116b of the 2006 Formula 1 Sporting Regulations);
3. Such actions may not have been deliberate.
The stewards determine that a breach of the regulations has occurred during qualifying practice and by virtue of the provisions of the 2006 Formula 1 Sporting Regulations Article 112 order that the best three laps set by Fernando Alonso in the third period of qualifying be deleted.
Signed by Tony Scott-Andrews, Enzo Spano and Alessandro Tibiletti.

Great race!!
His 3rd race and already a place on the podium. Robert Kubica was fantastic today, especially at the beginning of the race, when by the time he finished the first corner he was 3 places up. He also had a lot of luck with Alonso's engine blowing up, that doesn't happen very often. And Massa, who was right behing him ran off the tarmac, damaged his car and was forced to visit the pits. From then on it was a cruise for Kubica, with a 8 second advantage and ~10 laps to go he couldn't waste the opportunity. BMW Sauber still need to improve, their pit stops aren't as quick as the rivals.
Schumacher couldn't have asked for a better scenario. He drove very well and deserved the 10 points, his main rival Alonso having to forfeit the race due to engine problems. 2 points difference with only 3 races to go should make for a scorching season finale. It's just a shame it will be Schumacher's last
