Just 20 mins to go! Things must be frenetic over there!

well all the cars are going to the grid.

Well Williams & Renault are at least heading to the grid.

That could well mean some of them will retire early. Either that, or they will have to control their speed as they come into turn 13 - not a hard thing to when the car has a 'brake' pedal...

Some big points for Minardi !! and Jordan !! provided that they finish.

Exactly, if they need to go slow then go slow. Wonder if some of the Michelin teams will stay out and try and get some points, even going slow on turn 13 they will easily beat the Jordans and Minardis over a full lap.

If the tyres are OK for 15 laps at full speed change the tyres after 10 - if that means 6 pitstops so be it. Better than what is happening.

I dont think there is enough tyres for that tbh

.

Looks like Paul Stoddart is playing games again, Minardi are on Bridgestones and he wants them to come in after the 1st lap. He really wants Max's job

Cause Bernie is a complete and utter MORON!! The commentators know more than the sports promotor ffs!

They'd be better off talking to the team prinicples, rather than the drivers...

mmj_uk · 19 Jun 2005 at 18:49

McLarens and Renault will risk it i bet.

chippie · 19 Jun 2005 at 18:49

I think Martin just annoyed Bernie!

Someone needs to get some common sense, they should've built the chicane therefore allowing all the teams to race, atm its going to be a 6 car race ... thats gna be a corker for the people watching! Stupid muppets

//Mike · 19 Jun 2005 at 18:50

I bet the McLarens and Renaults will be fine if they race on their current tyres...

If there is a chicane built, then what will the bridgestone runners do? Surely they will protest in a BIG way, as it is unfairly hindering them. If it happens, chances are that with the protests there will be the results will be voided anyway.
