Raikkonen is the champion in my book. His speed is god like. How much more fuel did he have in the car than anyone else and yet he was over a tenth faster than montoya who pitted fairly early!!!

Raikkonen is like a robot - so quick yet so cool.

Thats why he spun and nearly didn't finish?

Driver of the day for me was between Montoya and Pizzonia.

Was disappointed about the poor converage of battles as at the start there was Jenson in 3rd down to Fisi in 7th nose to tail yet the director wanted to show Montoya and Alonso.

He was pushing the car over the limits to try and win. How many mistakes has raikkonen made this year?

Pigeon · 4 Sep 2005 at 16:31

think that was the first. He has unbelievable pace compared to everyone else in the field at the moment, it's a shame about his bad luck.

Good race by Montoya, lets hope next season he can be more consitant and fast!

I was away last week from wednesday to saturday but managed to see the GP on sunday, slightly boring race and bad luck for Kimi once again, why does his engines keep on breaking when Montoya's seem to stay together :confused:

The commentator also said that the speed record in a race was beaten at 370kmh (230mph) :eek:

Dry start followed by a downpour on lap 20 for a couple of laps followed by a drying track after that, that would make an exiting race

Or a start like a few years ago where >10 cars piled into each other

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Sep 2005 at 15:54

Wouldn't mind a repeat of last years race, was one of the highlights of the season, and after the borefest we just experienced at Monza it would be nice.
