Even more respect to Ross Brawn and his tactical abilities. 12 > 3rd via fuel stops is awesome.

Flibster · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:45

It's more like Ferrari were lucky that everyone piled pack into the pack after pitstops leaving M.Schumacher clear looking at the times I've got.

Very lucky.

Flibster · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:46

He wasn't 12 though...9/10th

This shows the problem with F1 now - no overtaking on the track - it's all in the bloody pits. Who wants to see that. I want wheel to wheel tacing like the 80's-90's

rpstewart · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:47

This is exactly what hacks me off about Schumacher - he's capable of lapping almost 2 seconds a lap faster than anyone else but plain REFUSES to overtake anyone.

Flibster · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:47

Villeneuve takes Webber after Webber makes a mistake

Flibster · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:48

Webber is down to 9th... :eek:

Joe T · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:49

Schuy is doing laps 1.5 time quicker than Button, it wont be long before he catches him. And this is just after a pit stop too.

Flibster · 24 Apr 2005 at 13:49

Aaah yes - forgot we're in Italy.

There's only 1 car on the track. :rolleyes:

If they could make it like MotoGP I'd be very impressed, this is one of the first GP races I've watched for a while. I agree its nowhere near as exciting as it used to be back in the days.
