Brave move by Coulthard at the start - Minardi's and Jordan's are now at the back.

Very high humidity too...but it's coming down.
Track temperature is up and down like a kangaroo in the mating season.
Air temp seems steady.

Rain would probably be a bad thing..MS would be able to pass easier..

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:18

Alonso and Villeneuve are at it.

Beautiful passing there.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:21

Lap 8 - advert break.
Coffee and pee break for me..

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:23

Jesus they're short ad breaks...My coffee machine hasn't even got as far as getting steam up yet.

Lap 14 - it's gone dull...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:32

Yup.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:38

They're all seem to be pitting now - lap 18 was the first I think.
Alonso I think will have to pit soon.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:39

Whoops new boy...You're in a Jordan - you cannot keep up with a Renault.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:41

So instead of changing tyres now - they're changing tyre pressures.

Still now hure how this is supposed to "improve the spectacle of F1" unless they're looking at it as what not to do?

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:42

Karthikeyan went onto the grass...MS may have been behind him.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:44

Yeah..closest to that from other cars was a 1:27.. :eek:

Kimi has pitted...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:47

M.Schumacher has pitted.

Can Kimi get in front...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:47

No. Bugger.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:49

Raikkonen is ahead of Schumacher!
Lets see what the McLaren can do now.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:51

Just about halfway though. Only 1 retirement.

Impressive. But if the retirements are going to happen - it''ll be later on in the race.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:52

He could be. Red Bulls's first GP could be a win.

Entirely depends on if he's eating his tyres or if thery'll be some life left in them later.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:55

Kimi is fastest on track at the moment. He's got a pretty much full fuel load as well. That is a quick car.

Fisi now has a 12.8s lead over Coulthard.
