Fisichella does not look happy does he. :D

Neither does Alonso. :D

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.
 
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. :D

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

yeah I know what you mean but it aint like motogp is it? the driver can't make a slow car win

Damon Hill - Hungary - Arrows...

Nearly won..20p oil seal failed - had a minute lead over everyone in a car that was bad.

Just off the top of my head - it's entirely possible.

ah now that was tyres

I really rated damon but that was not all him

Odd - as his teammate did badly as did all the other bridgestone shod drivers.

The top 6 throughout the year was dominated by the Goodyear drivers.

That was due to Hill's smooth driving style and a very progressive engine - not as powerfull - but the delivery was very linear.

Hungary benefits from a smooth and flowing driving style. Hill learnt that from racing bikes.
 
Expecting complaints being put in about Sato, Villeneuve and Fisichella.

Sato - for being a menace to any other car on the track.
Villeneuve - Pushing Montoya off the track and causing the accident and safety car
Fisichella - Moving over twice to try and block Raikkonen
 
Back to bed? You lightweight.. :p

Off to watch more bad Bond films *yup - still the Brosnes ones..all terrible* and play Dungeon Siege II...
