Another great advert brought to you by ITV - what nonsense.

Either way, track temp now 51C...tyre wear may play a part.
Alonso has this one in the bag all thanks to Trulli.

Alonso's pace is incredible. He's consistently about 0.5s per sector quicker than Trulli.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:19

Friesacher pits on lap 15

They spent a hell of a long time checking that car over..

How long before Sato losses the head and dives down the side of Rubens taking them both out......

//Mike · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:23

This race is boring already, hopefully something interesting will happen sometime soon

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:23

Wishful thinking but he dived into the pits

gsf600y · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:24

If Schumacher and Alonso are on same fuel strategy, Schumacher will have to lap half a second quicker for the rest of the race to get past Alonso, wont he?

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:25

Something like that - but is Trulli on a 2 stop strategy?

Karthikeyan and Albers pits on lap 18

Barrichello pits on lap 18 as well...oooooh.

gsf600y · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:26

Schumacher needs to pit early if Trulli is two stopping.

goreblast · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:26

pit race

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:26

Trulli and M.Schumacher pit on lap 19
