hard to believe, but after the first lap, with schumie spinning around, and rubens having the wrong tires, i thought it was going to be a dark day forFerrari and the italians.

But brilliant driving and a daring late 3rd pit stop gave rubens the win and schumie came back from 15th to take 2nd.

one of the more exciting races this year.

and for the jenson button fans, a 9th podium this year is nothing to be ashamed of. ... and it will only et better in future.

It was a great race and i am glad Rubens won.
And Kimis car broke down, again.
Too bad Alfonso end up in the sand, he had a good run.

A great race indeed!

The drama, and the success of Ferrari made it one of the best races this year!

I saw it on mute though(inlaws damnit) What happened with that fire? Was it the fuel igniting again or what?

The fuel pump was leaking and hit some hot thing, maybe the exhaust pipe.

i felt bad alonso got stuck in the kitty litter, but he has also had a good year.

three races to go: on the new track in china, japan, and the rebuilt circuit in brazil.

schumie to win at least one, but i really want rubens to win in brazil.

I wouldn`t be surprised if Montoya or Button wins i Japan.
And i am very curious of the track in China...
I hope Kimi gets one more win this season too, he deserves it.

Kimi has been racing well this year, but his car sucks. not his fault.

the new model is better, but still needs more work. and you're right. his best chance is in japan, i think.

does schumacher get a bonus? again the was taking a short cut in the first curve and was not penaltized... also the track workers refused to push alonso back to the track when he was standing at a dangerous position. last year at the nürnburgring they pushed schumacher back at a similar position. without that he would not have won the championships!!!

at least sauber won a point again. what do you think about this team? without support of a big car company they are much better than some of the big teams with much larger budgets! such as jaguar or toyota

Suaber has done very well this year. Fisichella has done a good job.
And i bet they are even better next year!
About Schumis shortcut, he slowed down and let several cars pass him.
And Alonso should have been pushed back on track in my opinoin, if Schumi can be pushed around everybody should be pushed around

next year sauber is gpong to be using a ferrari engine.

and while im a ferrari fan, i think the marshals should have pushed alonsos car back on the track.

@walker: he did not slow down, he turned around and lost some positions because of that reasons...

@mardigras: sauber is using ferrari engines for quite some years already!

i wonder what villneuve will be able to do for the team next year!
#448607

ferrari is going to give them a better engine apparently so they can take more points away from the other teams.
#448608

sauber does already have exactly the same engine as ferrari itself this season!

I really looking forward to see Jaques Villeneuve again
3 races with Ranault (Trullis place) and then for Sauber...Ville is my favourit driver.

Sexghost, didn`t Schumi take a shortcut and had to slow down, or was that on Spa?
Bad memory now i`m afraid...

di you read today that ford is withdrawing support for jaguar. anybody know who or if anyone is going to bail them out.

also it looks like minardi and jordan are also being affected because they use cosworth engines.

@walker: just a shame that sauber is not able to compete with ferrari so that we cant see the duel villneuve with schumacher. i hope villneuve is able to kick schumachers ass this season!

well, one red car won, but it was rubens and not schumie

schumie started in the last row after spinning out in qualification, and seemed to be going well today until he got a flat . 12th no points.

rubens deserves it and keeps his record as the only f1 driver to finish every race this year.

button also drove well today.
btw, i like the circuit. any one else's comments?
