    De la Rosa made a spectacular race, making it two spaniards scoring points. When was the last time that happened?
    Never i think. Maybe Marc Gene and Pedro de la Rosa scored points in the same race some years ago but i believe not.

      Not a bad race at all, though, being a 'tifosi' myself, the "Renault-wins-all" is starting to bore me.

      Anyway, Alonso did a great job, as well as De La Rosa. With Raikkonen in third, McLaren seems to be getting better.

      Schumi did what he could do. Bad tyres ruined the race for Barrichello. I think that at Imola things will be different. No more hot weather, and I expect a better performance from the Bridgestone tyres.

      My prediction?

      1. Alonso/Fisichella
      2. M. Schumacher
      3. Trulli/Raikkonen
      I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

        De la Rosa did much better than I would have expected since he hasn't been racing F1 for a couple of years, but "starve" a man for a couple of years and give him a good car .... those fights with Webber (?) was half the fun.

        Next race is tricky. Heat, dust and sand must have taken their toll on those that completed. If those Italian engineers get their job done, Schumi will be dangerous with his fresh engine.

        My prediction :

        1. Alonso
        2. M. Schumacker
        3. Raikonnen

        Unless of course if it's raining, then Alonso drops out and it will be a battle between Schumi and Raikonnen.

        Btw. what the hell happened to Red Bull ? Someone take their balls or did they spare the engines to next race ?

          You don´t think Alonso can handle wet conditions?

            Nope. I don't think he crashes or drive off, I just don't think he has the ice and ability to drive fast.

                I think it´s really fast. They just have to get their **** together, I think the tyres is a bigger issue. Bridgestone hasn´t really got the grip of the Michelines.

                BlackCat, maybe. We´ll see...

                  At least I got the names right - it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow - a difference of 0.003 s or 6 cm isn't much .

                    I've given up on watching quali and following the inter-race gossip. I just want to watch good races (overtaking). Tommorrow better be good.

                        Seems like Schumi must have a small miracle to get a podium finish, BlackCat I love the new qualification rules, you have give 100% all the time. No slacking is allowed. And it has forced Ferrari to compete on somewhat even terms with the rest, something Schumi isn´t used to apparently. When he takes risks and drives on the edge he´s likely to make mistakes, just as any other driver. That makes him almost human

                        And BAR seems to have got their act together, finally

                        Great racing by Alonso and Kimi as well. I´m looking forward to a blazing duel between those two.

                            Grrrreat race! i have not seen something like this in many years.

                            Alonso fantastic again. It was incredible he managed to defend his position along 10 laps against a muuuuuch faster car. Today his pace was not so good but judging for how many few training laps he did all the weekend (only 20!) certainly the Barhain engine was no right. He was lucky today too, becuase Kimi retirement.

                            Schumi incredibly 2 seconds faster than any other car in this race. Better race driver today. F-2005 seems at light years of any other car. But Couldnt pass Alonso even being 2 seconds faster (but this is Imola) It is a bit worrying to think that without that mistake in Q2 he would have won easily. *

                            If MS was the better Button was the butter driver. It was easy for Alonso to maintain the gap and even easier for MS to pass him. Anyway he was 3rd, very good for that car.

                            About the others it seems BAR has improved, Villenueve was even good today, reliability and Kimi are imcompatible (again) but his team mate´s car was consistent (again) , it sems Trulli good times have ended but he was ahead de Ralf, Fisichella was nowhere all the weekend, Webber was mediocre.

                            *in fact MS could and should have won. He failed. But he was the salt of the race.

                              Michael Schumacher. Wow.

                              Even with a slower car in the final laps, Alonso managed to resist and grab his 3rd victory in a row. He sure is a damn fine driver.

                              Villeneuve was also good, jumping from 11th to 6th. He seems to be getting a little better, but of course the car helped him a lot.

                              Button was OK, couldn't do better with his car. But with Sato finishing 5th, seems like BAR is improving as well.

                              Even if he didn't win, Schumi is still the best.
