McLaren trouble in the pits, Raikkonen slow because of the nose

Creature · 2 Apr 2006 at 06:03

Kimi has a problem with the nose. Probably why he was slow.

//Mike · 2 Apr 2006 at 06:03

Kimi had a broken right end plate, Montoya had a problem with his right front tyre.

Raikkonen has a broken endplate - explains why he was so slow.

It's going to take a long time to clean up that last corner - there's a daft amount of carbon bits all over the place.

I'm betting we see at least one car puncturing as a result - and it's a whole lap to get back to the pits.

This race still belongs to Alonso, but it's had more excitement than the last few put together

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 06:05

Almost everytime M.Schumacher is having his way or is under pressure - he's off the track...

We've seen it god knows how many times.

At least he's consistant.

Ide pits on lap 36

So instead of going through the pitlane *as they can do...* the safety car drags them through all the debris.

Lovely.

I have £5 on Heidfeld getting a podium.... come on nick

//Mike · 2 Apr 2006 at 06:06

At least the Fezza kept to our predictions and held up well in the crash - it is good at something!

We'll see, Kimi will be really up for it but there are a couple of Midlands in the way and he can't pass them until the start line, even if they're being lapped.
