And he's retired - another poor weekend for team USA.

Italy did not start the race.

Czech Republic was given a drive though for a jump start.

Czech Republic given a drive through penalty for a jump start.

China got a drive through for a pit lane infringement.

Brazil into the pits.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:22

China coming through the pits for a drive through penalty - for too many mechanics around the car. Brazil pit.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:23

Awful stop for Brazil - front left didnt want to come off.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:23

Terrible stop for Brazil - Couldn't get the fron tleft wheel off.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:24

Seems to only really be you and myself commentating today Flib... thought there would have been a bit more publicity.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:24

Portugal and Mexico are getting very very close to each other.

South Africa pits.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:25

Brazil have a drive through penalty for more than 1 mechanic working per tyre I think.

Italy have started.

Brazil is getting a drive through for having assistance when changing the front left wheel.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:26

Italy have got going after all.

fuz · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:26

I've been watching, a little farcical at the start... and Brazil having another problem-filled pitstop

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:27

Brazil - drive through confirmed - Invalid pit stop

fuz · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:27

Is that for having 2 pitcrew members attending to one tyre?

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:27

Sadly my live timing has frozen on lap 6...

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:28

Brazil serve their drive through penalty.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 14:28

Yup - 1 person remove and changed the wheel - another can move the wheel out of the way.

Not allowed 2 people working on the same wheel.

Brazil do their drive through.
