Do yous think that Kimi damaged the underside of the car when he ran wide in Qual 2?

I think he might have

It's a possibility. They would have been able to do a fingertip check of the car after qualifying. If there was a damaged panel that could have been a risk to safety they would have been able to replace it with the FIA's permission.

They tend to let that happen as it's a safety thing.

Anybody fancy a first corner pileup?

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:53

Schumacher carving through the field, well I wouldn't be surprised if he knocks into a few people...

Also, never discard Ralf Schu causing an accident, ever!

Definate very possible. Inexperienced drivers in the middle of the grid, fast guys at the back, slow guys at the front.

Could be an interesting start..lets hope that people are sensible and nothign happens though.

Don't think I've got enough HDD space for a restart.

Edited for correctness.

I resent that!

He's my wildcard driver of the day, I am betting on a 6th place finish!

Great - more rule changes at the last second. What a stupid bloody idea.

If a tyre is very worn you can change a tyre..a single tyre.

Nice how not many people know that one. :rolleyes:

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:02

I am thinking ferrari will be changing tyres with no penalties... Other teams wont be so fortunate... :rolleyes:

Jesus! Come on FIA, get a grip! (no pun intended)

Fire 1 · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:02

Did you see Montoyas mirrors moving yesterday during an on board shot?

They were moving a lot

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:03

Ooooh...excitement is building...
They're lining up on the grid after the parade lap.

Berger · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:04

Kimi starting from the pit lane!

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:04

NO NO NO! KR, stall!

OH MY GOD!

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:04

Someone's stalled!

Oh crap...Raikkonen now has to start form the pit lane.

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:05

This will be fun, KR and MS wheel to wheel cutting up the grid!

Fire 1 · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:06

Much better rule sending the pack around instead of waiting another 5-10 minutes for a restart

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:06

McLaren have to be lucky to get much from this race I think now.

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:07

*wets pants* ooh, excitement!

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:07

GO GO GO!!!

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:08

No incidents at the start...miracle of miracles!

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 03:08

That renault is screaming away! Schumacher hounding kathikayan! Nice pass for DC aswell!
