Nice to see JPM win - such a great racer. Thank goodness (from my point of view) that Kimi had the 10 place penalty!

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 14:55

They didn't load Raikkonen up with that much more fuel tbh..

4 laps more than Montoya really...didn't think there was that much of an advantage to load up to the brim with fuel.

Pigeon · 10 Jul 2005 at 14:59

excellent race today - really like watching montoya especially off the start!

First race I've enjoyed and watched all the way through for a long time!

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 14:59

Right then - Driver of the day...

Errr...

Montoya - lead from lights to flag...
Raikkonen - 12th to 3rd...

Difficult...

I think Montoya takes it just for his superbly clean drive.

Althoug Raikkonen did extremely well after spending severl laps stuck behind the incredibly slow Trulli and M.Schumacher

Raikkonen did have some luck though - Fisichella stalling was the biggest bit..

goreblast · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:01

I hate to say it, but Kimi

goreblast · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:01

It was a great race right through the field. Some good battles between JV and DC.

goreblast · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:01

There were also some great fights envolving both Williams cars.

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:01

You hate to say it so much that you had to repeat it 3 times.

goreblast · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:02

BTW if u are wondering where I went mid-race - laptop battery ran out!

Ferrari need to gain some speed from somewhere - Go Michael!

goreblast · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:02

oops - editted the triple posts to save some face! :rolleyes:

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:03

Ferrari need a more powerfull engine - which they're not going to get as they've put all their development into the 2.4l V8

They also need more grip - partially aero and partially mechanical.

Being honest - I feel it's more the car at fault rather than the tyres...

goreblast · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:04

Going to wash the car now - cya later

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:08

Cool - Going out to the Rythems of the World festival in town myself.

Arc · 10 Jul 2005 at 15:21

An ok GP but nothing special, 05 aero regs have really messed up overtaking as the past few British GP's have been great in this respect.

Trulli using his engine for 3 GP's, thats a tad odd

. Although yet again he has the amazing ability to be great in qualy then a mobile roadblock in the race.

It didn't do that much at Indy tbh...4 practice sessions, qualifying and a warm up lap...

Shows it's reliable though.

Will be interesting to see what caused the Jordan to retire though..
