Just about half distance....

Still got 20 runners..

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:46

Mclaren are doing very well with theit strategy this year...Montoya from last to 5th this race, Raikkonen from 13 to 2nd and 12th to 3rd...

I think they've got a good tactician now.

Karthikeyan pits on lap 34

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:47

Monteiro pits on lap 35

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:48

Raikkonen is slowing right down.

Rear end has locked up..

Joe T · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:48

Kimi has stopped!

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:49

Raikkonens stopped on the track - rear wheels locked up - engine/gearbox problem.

Heidfeld pits on lap 36

Alonso is pretty much guaranteed the championship now.

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:50

They can't move Raikkonen's car - looks pretty much like thats hydraulic pressure thats down then. They may have to lift it off the track

Wang · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:51

How can Raikkonnen keep so calm when his car time after time is letting him down

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:54

Raikkonen's car is still not cleared.

Button is stuck behind M.Schumacher and Montoya is closing up to them.

Raikkonen's car is now finally cleared

Webber pits on lap 40

Love move by Klien on Barrichello. Barrichello was doing nothing..

Incident involving cars 11 and 18 will be investigated by stewards after the race *Villeneuve and Monteiro*

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 13:59

Buttono is trying to get past - but cant. Gotta love these new aerodymanic rules..

M.Schumacher is starting to have problems - right rear has 2 of the 4 grooves missing already.

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:00

Albers pits on lap 45

vanpeebles · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:01

gan on button lad!

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:01

Button past Schumacher at the hairpin. Superb.

James_N · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:01

button past

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:02

So...what happens if there is no grooves left on the tyre - techically there has to be visible grooves left on the wheel otherwise it's classed as an illegal slick...

You know - what Ferrari and Bridgestone were complaining about with Michelin's wheels..

BAR in the pitlane.

Karthikeyan pits on lap 47

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:03

Button pits on lap 47
Massa pits on lap 47 too
Klien pits on lap 47 as well..

Alonso pits on lap 48 - should be able to get out easily in front os everyone else.

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:04

Pee break..

Byron5184 · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:05

What a move by Button, lets just hope Schuey can do the right thing for once and hold up Montoya as much as possible

Flibster · 24 Jul 2005 at 14:08

Coulthard pits on lap 48
Trulli pits on lap 49
Doornbos pits on lap 49
M.Schumacher pits on lap 50
Barrichllo pits on lap 51
Fisichella pits on lap 51
R.Schumacher pits on lap 51...

M.Schumacher rejoins behind Button...Same thing should happen with Montoya as well..
