Will be on the highlights, they have ran out of time.
And can I just say, what a cracking race!!!! Hard luck to Kimi, would have preffered him to win (though I have nothing against Alonso) but good on him and McLaren leaving him out, was very much worth a go in my opinion.

quite a good race, bit of a dull mid-section!
unfortunate for massa and kimi about their tyres! luckily raikkonen started his last lap so wont be at such a disadvantage at the next race's qualifying, so can hopefully keep the pressure on alonso! but overall a good race!

ITV should have something on after the races (where possible) that can be canned if and when the race overruns - they should always show the press conference and associated interviews. Not everyone can or wants to watch the highlights - for instance I dont need to as I have taped every race so far one of my Hauppauge PVR 350 cards.

Hiann is on the phone as I type to ITV registering her disgust at the Press Conference not being shown!

RP - You could say the same about McLaren's mid-mounted 'v' shape wings. Other teams must have tried them in the tunnels etc etc and no one else has them fitted
Raikkonen needs to have some seriously good races and Alonso needs some bad ones to get back in touch.
The McLaren 'horns' produce next to no downforce. They're flow conditioners that focusses the airflow towards the centre of the rear wing to produce the maximum amount of downforce for the miminum amount of additional drag.

I would have done the same thing as Kimi and stayed out, but someone should have put the sensible head on and brought him in and changed the tyre. It would have netted him valuable points and made it more likely that he challenge succesfully for the championshio.
I know it was the suspension that failed, but with a nice smooth tyre on the front right it may have lasted another couple of laps.

Flibster - are watching the races on a satellite feed? not ITV?
People in Eire can see it on Setanta Sport on SKY, and whilst I can subscribe to Setanta Sport Ireland (live in N Ireland) they still block us in Ulster from seeing the F1 - I know as when we had the Sunday morning Qualifying I tried to subscribe to Setanta with the aim of seeing that decisive qualifying session.

I was watching the GP2 race on Eurosport before the race and they have an interesting take on the fastest lap. The driver who gets the Fastest Lap gets 2 world championship points, so long as they have completed 90% race distance by the end (to stop people taking 7-8 laps fixing a car and sending it back out to get the fastest lap and nothing else). Would certainly mix things up a bit in F1.
