Well all i can say is, what a race
glad that schumacher is ok after his accident, that was alot like the accident nigel mansell had in the indy series a while back which put him out for over a year and shows the strength of the F1 car of today. Guess JPM is destined to be struck with bad luck for the rest of the season, sad he was black flagged for all of 1 and a half seconds but such is the rule.
As always Ferrari showed their true excellence Barrichello was unlucky, being stuck behind schumacher for that pit stop, but schumachers car showed its true power on that restart where he actually hit 228mph passing his team mate.
Nice to see Sato finally getting a result and being on the podium(first japanese driver in 14 years to do so)
Mclaren will be hoping that magny coures shows their new car off to sucess.
Finally, Minardi, 8th place may not sound much to most people but to them this could mean a new sponser and a few thousand

I agree it really was an amazing race; slowly F1 is getting back to its greatest days
I like that Sato has a god car now, when he was with a bad Jordan people would just say he was bad and crashed too much but with a good car he shows that he

WHAT THE f***  IS THAT RULE FOR ANYWAY?
It seems that the FIA really has a problem with racer wanting to race.  F-1 shoud be (dont stop reading after this next statement-i know what you are thinking) more like NASCAR.  In NASCAR, the drivers are allowed to race, even if they need a spare car.   only in this way shoud F-1 change is rules and procedures. the drivers are too restricted for what they can do.  Oversized brake ducts? thats bullsh**.  F-1 is supposed to allow technological advancements fo the cars.15 seconds to get a new car?why stop someone from racing if its going to make it more interesting  AND LESS BORING LIKE WHAT ALL YOU MORONS ARE BLABBING ABOUT!
on second thought , disregard that last statement!

IMHO JPM isn

the 15 second rule, was implemented after a series of accidents on the grid, a couple of mechanics were hurt badly and i believe one was killed when they wernt off the grid in time. Now they give them 15 seconds so the marshalls can see that the grid is clear of people so the car can get moving. Montoya was just unlucky in this case, thanks to all the stuff he had to remove he was caught out but a second or two. Williams should be more angry with the time it took to decide that, a desicion should be made within 20 laps or else it is allowed to expire. Even with schumachers accident there was no excuse for it.

good point.

Thought it took them wayyyy too long to get to Ralf...
