At least GB aren't going to start form the back this time.

Netherlands is now running - will start from the pit lane.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:10

Italy are still not running.

Not looking good for them

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:11

Italian car is being pushed to the end of the pitlane.

Feature race is AWAY!

France are ahead of Brazil as well.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:12

Malaysia has France all over him.

Lovely overtaking move there. France up to second.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:14

No idea what for.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:19
