I thought that had been confirmed?

The annoying thing about that race was the Webber controversy. Fisichella holds up traffic gets a drive through. Webber holds up traffic, under the same rule, "well look fter the race" could have got coulthard his 500th point if the stewards actually pulled their fingers out of their ***. :mad:

...and 5 mins for analysis - Will have to watch the replay/highlights for all that. :mad:

Hour of crap at the beginning - no time at the end. :rolleyes:

SKILL · 16 Oct 2005 at 08:58

Poor race, really not worth getting up for, i want my few hours sleep back...

Raikkonen was as quick if not quicker than alonso, but held up behind fisichella on a track with sod all chances for overtaking, made even worse by the fact that this comes just a week after one of the best races i've seen for a long time...

bah, time to head off back to bed, and make a note not to bother watching the chinese gp next year

Are they not swapping Oz & Malaysia so as not to clash with the Commonwealth Games?

Thanks again, as ever, to Simon for his hard work and dedication through the year.
