M.Schumacher lost 1.5 seconds that lap...

Stormrider · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:24

Looks like that slow lap might have been traffic

Button's not making any real inroads into MS's lead

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:25

M.Schumacher is still 2 seconds a lap slower than the leaders though...

But losing over 1 second a lap to Alonso over the race distance is not good.

Button only making .5s a lap on him sadly.

Mclaren guy shuffling out of the camera shot of the garage - wave you miserable buggers.

Joe T · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:27

Not much happening

Stormrider · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:27

Leaders times just in a separate class from the rest of the field.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:28

I want to see the condition of the bridgestones..I suspect they are on the tatty side.

Raikkonen and Alonso are holding at about 17 seconds apart

Kimi has done well today. If it wasn't for his engine penalty I think he would have had the measure of Alonso.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:30

The McLaren is the class car at the moment.

I think that Raikkonen would have easily been way in the lead if he could qualify 3rd on 30% more fuel than anyone else...

Stormrider · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:31

Wow, everyone apart from top 3 have been lapped.

rpstewart · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:31

Oh aye, he went 28 laps from effectively 3rd on the grid. Having said that I doubt that he would have been as heavy had he not needed an engine change. Then again he would have been even quicker with only 20 laps of fuel!

//Mike · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:33

I think driver of the day should personally be Kimi.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:33

Raikkonen is now doing laps in the 1:16's - why?

Just trying to putting in the fastest lap?

rpstewart · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:34

Alonso driver of the day???? Sure it's a lights to flag victory but doesn't 13th to 2nd count for anything?

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:34

Raikkonen is driver of the day for me - Alonso is a close second though...

Alonso crosses the line.

Well done Alonso...Renault win in France.

//Mike · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:35

Alonso crosses the line to win.
Kimi 2nd

Fire 1 · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:38

What a boring race. Alonso walks off into the distance, again. Trulli holds everyone up, again.

//Mike · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:40

Agreed, let's hope this isn't an indication of things to come for the rest of the season
