Alonso just 0.6s behind M.Schumacher

Creature · 23 Apr 2006 at 14:07

Damn Schumacher.

For once, thank god for adverts, loo break

Montoya + Button pits

Schumacher assumes the lead again

Flibster · 23 Apr 2006 at 14:09

Montoya pits on lap 44

Tactical mistake from Renault there maybe.. Would it have been better to have him stay out a couple of extra laps?

Button pits on lap 45
Sato pits on lap 45

Surprisingly - Webber is on the harder Bridgestones and M.Schumacher is on the softer...

Shows the sensible choice here.

The Ferrari still does not work well on hard tyres..

Alonso pits on lap 42

I thought some of the changes to the Ferrari where meant to allow it to work better with softer tyres.

Back to the mid 1:26's for Shumacher

Unless Kimi is on a one stopper (and for some reason pitted very early...), this has been a poor weekend for the McLarens.

Montoya has now leap frogged Massa.

It's going to be some tense final laps but I feel Alonso won't be able to get past schuey - too many slow chicanes :mad:

Montoya looks like he's got himself into third somehow, once Kimi pits.

Certainly possible - just fill him up and send him off...

More likely though.

R.Schumacher pits on lap 47

Coulthard pits on lap 47

Kimi catching the leaders quick but he has to make another stop

Not as bad as Hondas. Their qualifying pace was shown to be due to very light fuel loads, and two problems during the pitstops.

Creature · 23 Apr 2006 at 14:12

Shumacher will take 2 points out of the 17 second lead. Errr =/

//Mike · 23 Apr 2006 at 14:13

Kimi pits. Damn.

Flibster · 23 Apr 2006 at 14:13

Raikkonen pits on lap 48

Still a beautiful looking car.

Alibaba99 · 23 Apr 2006 at 14:13

Raikkonen now pits.
