best race yet!!! lot's a drama!


1) very disappointed... as i'm sure Balzz was too
2) had Weber not passed him, Alonso may have been forced (after review) to conceed the pass
3) 'bout time! I guess Heidfeld doesn't wwant to be on the unemployment line next year
4) this incident sums up JV's return to F1.. with every race i lose more respect for his skill and decision making. had he retired after his BAR days he could have shot his mouth off all he wanted about how he forced BAR to re-evaluate their crappy car and how JB owes his career to him. Now people will be saying "bah, JV couldn't drive for sh!t anyway"


Now that McLaren has the car running nicely, I think Kimi can take the season away from Renault... he just needs Alonso to have 1 or 2 bad races, or a DNF.

and Trulli... a bit of bad luck, but that guy is good

KR has shown how good he really is.

I think Alonso should get time added to his result because he really should have gotten a stop&go penalty! He's gotta be the best blocker in the world.

KR had a great race...feel bad for JT, if it wasn't for him no one would have got by Fisi...

NH - under-rated imo, showed webber up well today.

I was very surprised at the rear tire wear the Renaults had.

Bad race for Ferrari, but I do believe MS got fastest lap.... Bridgestone....

indeed, i think Bridgestone have sunk the Schumacher Ship for good ..

or in other words, Bridgestone have sunk the Schumacher era

sad to see 'em go out like that

Dunno about the era, but the year is definitely coming to a finish quickly for MS....

What a great race! Very exciting!! for Benz, and BMW

Alonzo was great given his tires

Do others share this sentiment? Maybe in terms of ambience but you pretty much cannot pass on this track.. Makes for a boring race imo.

I like Monaco because it hasn't been turned into a go-kart track like all the other FIA tracks. I like Suzuka and Spa for the same reason. Although Spa has become kind of lame since they removed the bus stop last year.

Most F1 tracks have interesting elevation changes, but they're so featureless it's hard to get an appreciation of the corners from watching TV.
