Now I'd hate to see this degenerate into a Schumacher vs the World argument, but when you say:

 

The personalities of the drivers are interesting and diverse. I could never tell if Kimi is just uncertain of his English or doesn't like talking to a camera. MS may seem bland, but he's basically business-like in the interviews. I enjoy listening to JPM, who usually tells his opinion without blinking, and tends to present interesting insight into the drivers' view of racing. I guess public speaking is certainly a part of being an F1 driver.

Say what you will about MS, but watching him fling an F1 car around the track while screaming out one fastest-lap after another is great. I really want to see other cars (esp BAR) winning races, but Michael has few true peers.

If MS is bland and boring...what is KR and what was MK????

Eddie Irvine....don't miss that complainer one bit....

 

The blames lies with the big white chin. Who locks up a tire for so long (watch the tape) "to get heat into the tire" ? I guess since the big white chin says that's the way to heat up a tire that must be the correct way. He is a 6 time WC and he does a burnout and slams the brakes remember these cars do not have brake lights . Monty could have thought the chin was trying to get the jump on him. Here's a idea, look in your mirrors before you do something stupid. I hope Monty and The Chin both end up on the podium at the next race. I enjoyed watching the chin squirm when they had their run in a few weks ago. The chin looked as nervous as a virgin on prom night, I LMAO when Monty called the chin blind and stupid.

Here are some clips of the race, but they are not in english.

From what I can tell Sato didn't jump the gun. If he did start off early wouldn't the officials know through the onboard computers and what not.

 

Damn i didnt know there were so many F1 fans.

It was Trulli's day from pole position to the end.

 

I was glad to see MS finally not win a race, it was getting quite repetitive on the podium great start by Sato, but don't know what happened to his engine =/ nice finish by button to almost snatch the lead from Trulli

 

I think it's worthwhile to mention that Jarno Trulli is quoted as saying the JPM was following MS very closely and he though the two were going to collide earlier in the lap. The video in the tunnel shows that Montoya was less than a car length behind when Schumacher locked up. I admit the gap probably closed some because MS was under braking, but if he was accelerating moments before, JPM had to be on top of his gearbox. JPM should be aware that these cars have no brake lights and keep a safe distance.

BTW, I don't see the wisdom is judging a driver by his post race comments. A perfect example is Mika Hakkinen. He is supposed to be one of the coolest, most down to earth, funny guys you ever want to meet. But to judge him by his demeanor in the post race conferences, you
