Problem Coulthard had was that he had moved over to let the leaders through and Villeneuve had tagged along with them

They're not doing anything so...

Same speed as the Williams', Toyota's, BAR's

That helps Raikkonen out nicely.

Alonso is stuck behind Trulli. Nice.

Locks a tyre trying to get past him..

McLaren are ready for Raikkonen
Raikkonen in on lap 46

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 14:08

Raikkonen out ahead of Button - nicely done.

Barrichello pits on lap 46

Flibster · 10 Jul 2005 at 14:09

It seems to me that Ferrari always try to get Barrichllo to finish behind M.Schumacher - they can't tell him to move over anymore - so they screw him on strategy...

Fisichella pits on lap 47 - Stalls it trying to exit his pitbox...
Fires it up again - could help Raikkonen...
Fisichella is out behind Raikkonen

M.Schumacher pits on lap 47

Alonso just 1.2 behind Montoya...

Not fast enough though.
