Alonso's rears are now pretty much bare - you can just see the remains of 1 maybe 2 grooves..

yup - can't see any grooves there now

It says here that the red light on the rear of Alonso's car is flashing. Which rear red?!? The brake light?

Stormrider · 22 May 2005 at 14:39

nice one Nick - great move

SKILL · 22 May 2005 at 14:39

Nice move by heidfeld to get past Alonso

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:39

Fisichella has dropped 37 seconds behind the group who overtook him. :eek:

That car must be horrible,

Heidfeld overtakes Alonso down the inside on the chicaine out of the tunnel. Beautifully done.

Gorgeous move from Heidfled, down into the chicane

yup - brake/rain light

Think I have noticed the light flashes on the Renault while on the grid - wonder if it flashes when TC is switched off.

Webber is now pushing Alonso. The tyres on the Williams look pretty good as well.

Ta

Alonso must be running slow - Heidfeld is already 4 seconds ahead

Edit: Make that 8

It's a warning light - usually used during pit stops to indicate when the fuel cover is open and the speedlimiter is on - also hardwired during the rain as you can see sod all in the rooster tails these cars put out.

Webber is through - Alonso goes across the chicaine - Alonso kept his place through that - could be a penalty if he doesn't move back over...

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:44

Alonso will need to move over now.
Alonso was just vaguely following the corner - Webber was at least trying to get round the corner.

Alonso & Webber making up where the track is as the go along. Might get the stewards interested if we're unlucky. It would be a shame if either gets penalised for racing.

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:45

Montoya's only 4.7 seconds behind Alonso

Alonso could end up 5th or lower..

Stormrider · 22 May 2005 at 14:45

Alonso under pressure by Montoya now. Kimis going to take a big chunk out of Alonsos Chamionship lead.

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:46

Raikkonen is seriously short shifting.

That engine should be pristine for the next race.

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:47

Montoya is getting very close to Alonso - 2 laps top go..

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:47

here we go.....last lap..

ambulnick · 22 May 2005 at 14:50

Alonso takes 4th

Stormrider · 22 May 2005 at 14:50

great race - super drive by Kimi, great runs by the Williams.

Flibster · 22 May 2005 at 14:50

Well done Kimi Raikkonen!

Dominating yet again.

Raikkonen
Heidfeld
Webber
Alonso
Montoya
R.Schumacher
M.Schumacher
Barrichello
Massa
Trulli
Villeneuve
Fisichella
Montinero
Albers

The 2 Schumachers have been given the same finish time..

But what a surprise - Barrichello let M.Schumacher through. :rolleyes:
