Kimi moves to 20th place due to his engine change.

Who ever thought I'd see the day where a minardi would outqualify Michael, mclaren and nando?

I hate this qualifying system - and the rain came at the wrong time. Could have come 2 minutes later, couldn't it It came when Michael was almost finished his outlap.

I really hope Button doesn't win. He won't shut up afterwards. If he wins, he'll automatically think hes the best driver EVER in F1.

A possible podium for RBR would be cool.

 

[Orange Juice]

cape... its satos day baby, its all him...
shit rbr are up there... im feeling a podium for sato...
kimi doesnt need to qualify well to do well... he'll be up there

 

[Cape]

Your always feeling a podium for Sato, but does it eventuate? No

Mclaren will fuel Kimi's car up to the rim and Kimi can still win the race. If its wet, drivers better watch out for the rainmeister aka Schumi During practice where he crashed, he was about 4 seconds faster than everyone else

oh well, just hope button doesn't win, no points for renault and both schumachers on the podium. If not both schumachers, then a rbr driver would be good.

 

[Grizzly]

HAH!
Kimi am teh winner!
What a champ

 

[Cape]

I agree griz. Kimi's best race ever. That drive is what a world champion is made of.

And those overtaking moves that nando did, I could have done them with my eyes closed.

Its time to get rid of Sato. Is there one car on the field that he hasn't smashed into? I don't care if theres jap tyres, engines and shit, if you can't drive, get the fuck out of f1 and give the seat to some who can drive. Like moi!

Griz, you owe me $50

 

[RUB!X]

great race !!!
i cant wait for next season !!!

damn webber and his podiumaphobia
great driving, kimi what a champion !!!

 

[LMF^^]

And those overtaking moves that nando did, I could have done them with my eyes closed.

LoL

Cape to replace Barrichello...?

 

[Orange Juice]

wierd race... sato didnt win it

 

[Cape]

LoL

Cape to replace Barrichello...?

Close.

Cape to replace Michael Schumacher. I just need a number 2 driver now *Looks around for argo*

btw, did anyone notice how much of the race was cut off? Michael and Kimi (according to race footage on channel 10) did not pit once. Gah, stupid channel 10, and they didn't even have the press conferences

Honestly Nando did a very good job to get on the podium, but Kimi waz just amazin.

Ch 10 had to show Australia's Brainiest Kid

 

[dark`secrets]

twas a good race.. even though i only saw the last 13 laps

 

[Cape]

Someone did a typo on an F1 website at the completion of the race:

Button second, some smoke emerging from the back of his BRA.

 

[bscienceboi]

WEbber has so much potential but he's never able to keep up with the top of the pack.

 

[Komit]

What a race from Fernando. Taking Schumi around the outside of 130R took some balls.

 

[Cape]

Sato received the harshest rap, being excluded from the results after a collision with Jarno Trulli that forced the Italian out and halved Toyota's effort.

Villeneuve was slapped with a 25secs penalty which dropped him just one place in the order, from eleventh to twelfth, and promoting Rubens Barrichello.

I thought Michael drove a brillant race. The way he was defending his line in that shithouse ferrari ... *sighs* he just needs some more straight line speed.

 

[Grizzly]

I reckon Cape, Nando's pass was nothing special just not textbook like.


btw, kimi won without a 7th gear
har harrrr

 

[Cape]

erm ... since when do you ever agree with me griz? I have to sit down for a minute

Thanks to Montoya's shunt, Michael moves back to third in the drivers championship, and because toyota only scored one point, ferrari have got third in the constructors championship. Up yours toyota

Oh, its going to be so sad seeing a number 5 on michael's ferrari *cries*

The post-race finger pointing continued when Mark Webber blew the whistle on David Coulthard, who the Australian said jumped the start by 'two weeks'. "With the technology we have, they have to do something," he said. "One thousand per cent, he went before the lights went out."

mate will these two ever shut up...
