Now, Fisi moved over twice when Kimi tried to pass, any chance of a place penalty so that McLaren go back into the lead?

banned for life??

few hours to go though

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:42

Takes someone special to get the most out of it though.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:42

Fisichella does not look happy does he.

Neither does Alonso.

Raikkonen doesn't waste any champers - drink it - end up half naked on a lawn..

Raikkonen and Alonso went head to head - Raikkonen finished 17s ahead of Alonso while starting behind him.

Richard T · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:43

renault not happy wiv fisi.......
renault was not appy wiv trulli last year and he got dropped...??

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:44

yeah I know what you mean but it aint like motogp is it? the driver can't make a slow car win
thats why i dont think vale wont go to ferrari.... he wont be able to make a difference!

fuz · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:45

Best race i've seen in the last 6-7 years... when was the last time we saw a legitimate pass for the lead in a race? (I don't think Indy 2004 counts) also Jim "The Count" Rosenthal cracking a joke, Renault won't be "appy" with Fisi

Deosn't matter.

They can release them from their contracts at any time.

To an extent yes, but at the same time not every driver can drive a fast car fast. And by fast I mean bloody quick, look at the pace he managed to extract out of that, and looked completely composed the whole time.

Very emotional Ron Dennis, true legend

contacts dont mean a lot nowdays

blubbering ron... :eek:

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:47

McLaren need 2 points more than Renault at the next race to be constructors champions.

They'll have the same points - but more wins.

Nice to see Ron look so happy - almost crying at the start there. You could hear it in his voice.

And I agree with him - Kimi's best race ever. Yup.

Richard T · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:48

best race ever!...dunno **** that

ohhh strewards... looks like they have complained about fisi
