MSC catching JPM at a rate of 1.5s/lap

Because he is carrying much less fuel...Ferrari's strategy isn't working - I think they were expecting to be quicker - their strategy may have worked if they were faster...

Now getting weird characters in the live timing..

I never quite understand how RB drives his Ferrari backwards in a race!

Because he is not important to the team - the car is designed for M.Schumacher - Barrichello is just there to make up numbers tbh.

The team is built around M.Schumacher sadly...

Heidfeld pits on lap 50 - again...
Did they just change one of his tyres?

Sato off the road yet again - and breaks the on car camera this time.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 14:11
