Another break coming up....

I want Alonso to lose a couple of places to make it a bit more interesting - he only needs to come 3rd for the rest of the year and the championship is his.

Coulthard and Karthikeyan pit on lap 46

Flibster · 21 Aug 2005 at 14:11

Villeneuve pits on lap 47

Flibster · 21 Aug 2005 at 14:12

Can a Ferrari finish in the points? Maybe...but this stop will drop him down 2 or 3 places..

Montoya gets a whack from behind by Monteiro - Jordan couldn't brake hard enough and Montoya pulled in a bit sharp.

Montoya now has Alonso right up his botty

Flibster · 21 Aug 2005 at 14:27

Albers retired on lap 55.

Montoya has gone very very wide at T8 - Alonso up into 2nd...

Wonder if Montoya has a problem after that clonk up the backside..

Flibster · 21 Aug 2005 at 14:28

Raikkonen crosses the line to take the flag to win!

Alonso comes 2nd

Montoya comes 3rd.

Well done Raikkonen. Well deserved win.
