Agreed Simon - does this mean that Brazil can in effect unlap themselves.

Jos is not a happy person...

If only F1 was this much fun!

Best race i have watched in a long long time

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:39

You think you touched Germany?

You did more than touch Germany - you wiped out their rear wing and suspension...

goreblast · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:39

in that they got past france then the safety came back out so they get to go around the whole lap and cruise up to the back of the snake

Will someone please pass the frenchies!!!

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:41

Yup - Brazil are now on the same lap as France now.

Safety car in.

USA down to 5th.

Ireland up to 3rd
Switzerland still in 2nd.

Not sure who else went past USA.

goreblast · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:41

Safety car again?

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:42

Canada have spun on the green flag lap. They're out now.

Czech Republic made it past the USA as well.

Firestar_3x · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:42

loosing a car per lap at this rate, the guy in the safety car must be having a hoot!

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:43

No safety car for Canada's car yet...it's way off the racing line so should be ok.

He's done more laps than some of the race drivers.

Italy and Portugal going for it all round the track...

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:44

Brazil still have the fastest lap.

Firestar_3x · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:44

Just hope we can keep out of trouble and get a reasonable result.

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:45

GBR have slowed. Just letting cars through.

They've had a few gearbox issues this weekend thoughout the grid - maybe another one.

goreblast · 23 Oct 2005 at 15:45

No! Robbie!

Portugal does a very brave move on Italy to get past - from a long way back.
