DC - Enough fuel for the rest of the race?

Nope. Only about 22 laps worth if that.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:41

Montiero pits on lap 21
M.Schumacher comes back out in 9th position.

DC is under investigation for something. :confused:

The Renault's tyres look a little on the tired side.
DC Has a drive through - pit lane speeding.

Long stop for Renault. Looks like McLaren and Renault are 2 stopping.

Any idea when rain was predicted Flibster? Skys look pretty blue and clear.

Was just told that rain is due in the afternoon. Scattered showers.

If Brundle wasnt such a kiss-ass when it comes to DC I think more people would like him. Although I do like him better now that he has left McLaren and joined the fun-loving Red Bull team.

Where is Jacques ?

Brundle is part of DC's management team *one of the top ones iirc*

Villeneuve is nowhere - as normal.

Currently 15th.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:54

Bit wide there Raikkonen - Heidfeld is ahead of Raikkonen after that!

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:55

Heidfeld is about to pit - Raikkonen is 1.6s behind Heidfeld.

Raikkonen only lost 3 seconds in total though.

Albers has a drive through penalty - ignoring the blue flag.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:56

Heidfeld in on lap 31
Will be interesting to see Raikkonen's laptimes now.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:56

Albers does his drive through on lap 32

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:57

Raikkonen was very lucky there...Could have been much worse.

Heidfeld is out behind Barrichello. Looks like Heidfeld is 3 stopping.
