F1: Nurburgring Grand Prix

[Vaigra]

Anybody watching right now?
We had thought Schumacher was fuelled up a coupla laps more than Alonso but turns out he only had one extra laps worth of fuel and wasn't able to come out ahead of Alonso. Both lapping in similar times right now at the front, going back and forth.
I think Kimi might be up there towards the end if he's only two stopping in this race. Ferrari definately seem to have improved for this race. Let's see how the rest of the race goes. Alonso seems to be pulling away slightly with a fastest lap and now Schumi is responding by setting the fastest middle sector of the race so far, a new fastest lap of the race.
It's getting exciting

tactic win for Schumi, but i think the race itself was way too boring. only exciting part was Raikkonen closing in on Massa, the last 10-15 laps. too bad he didn't make it
looking forward to top gear tonight, that's gotta be more fun to watch

The coverage on Speed was actually quite funny, with the three announcers making fun of Ralf Schumacher for a good 2 minutes or so... I found it hysterical.

hmm i was suspecting more action from a track like nurburgring, but it wasn't bad

a deserved win for schumi

too bad neither honda nor red bull did finish

Missed most of the race, turned it off, was bored by the second stop. Shame Rubino didnt finish. He's having a torrid old season so far.

That's partly, if not, mostly his fault though. However, it has been rough adapting to Honda's finesse approach to the car via Button's driving technique.

Duno it resembled races when Hakkinen was around pretty close but Shumis dominance shining through :P

And well executed win Precision in driving

Unlucky for Fisi in qualifying but still well done for scoring some points

Erm, did I end up watching a different race to the rest of you guys? Rubens finished in a creditable 5th place after his best qualy and race performance of his Honda career. Where did you get the impression he didn't finish?

No, I was commenting on Rubens' season, not the race, which he DID finish 5th in. I was going to ask why you guys keep thinking he retired.. perhaps a commentator's slip?

After Fisi was hanging behind JV for 3/4 of the race

Why do you like Jacques Villaneuve so much? He's arguably one of the worst drivers on the grid..

He's also arguably one of the most in form and impressive performers so far this season.

No i was laughing that Fisi was stuck behind JV...

[Rockefella]

I suppose that's held true in the past 3-4 races.
