As I said yesterday - Ferrari are running light.

Barrichello pits on lap 12 - Earlier than I was expecting.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:25

Heidfeld in on lap 12 as well - shock horror there.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:26

I reckon lap 22ish. Should give him time to biuld up a lead.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:28

Another Advert.

No point me doing a position rundown..people pitting..

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:29

Barrichello was long fuelled - He'll be doing a 2 stop I think with a very short first stint.

Don't know about Heidfeld

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:30

Raikkonen is 20.6 seconds ahead of Coulthard who's in second. Nice.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:33

So then...

Only people who have pitted are:
Barrichello - Normal stop
Heidfeld - Normal stop
Trulli - Drive through penalty
Sato - New nose
R.Schumacher - New nose

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:35

Are McLaren ready for Raikkonen or Montoya?

Raikkonen pits on Lap 18?

Are they going to heavy fuel him? Well - 9.1 seconds - thats quite heavy.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:36

Trulli Pits on lap 18 as well..

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:37

Red Bull are ready for a pit...Liuzzi I reckon.
Montoya pits at the same time as well - pit race.
Massa pits as well on lap 19
