French GP

MS' left front is pretty starting to wear out.

Hydraulic leak caused JPM to retire.

Yeah, Jaques has stopped again and is back where he and Sauber curretly belong.

Kimi is wicking it up ahead of his second stop. Proabaly a bit much to ask of him to catch Alonso now. Schumacher is fading badly, so much for Brawn and Todt's hype.

In fact Kimi just pitted.

Only about 13 laps to go, is Alonso going to stop again?

Indeed he is, in on lap 58. 12 to go.

Fisi has stalled!!!!! Great for Button and Schumi.

Not much action left, everybody is settling down. Or can Fisichella spring something on Schumacher. Go for it Giancarlo, what have you got to lose?

EDIT: Erm, forget that - he had to pit.

Giancarlo is out of contention after his stalling, currently sitting behind Trulli.

Schumacher better wake up or he'll be lapped at this rate.

Ferrari are denying that Schumi has reported any problems with the car.

This has been a great advertisement for the engine restrictions. We could have had a great dice for the lead between Alonso and Raikkonen, but no. Love your work Max.

Of course it has a problem - it is too slow to make MS look better than he is.

Interesting to note how shocking Williams have been here, easily their worst performance of the year.

Last lap coming up.

Michelin and Renualt win in France, good luck to them. Alonso was supreme all afternoon.
Great exercise in damage control by Kimi.
Schumacher, the only other driver to go full distance in third.

Button takes forth and scores BAR's first points of the season (again!).

Barrichello missed out on the last point to Jaques Villeneuve. Puts the spin Ferrari placed upon how they would've won Indianapolis reagardless in perspective. Schumacher really is the luckiest driver on the grid, I'd have loved it if some less statisticly endowed driver could have benefited from that situation. But no it was him again.


(Just leaving an opening for the red brigade ;))

Alonso is making a point of pointing to the Michellin logo on his hat. A wanker he may be, but he drove well and I'll give him that.


Barichello certainly faded away, but at least he finished.

Schumacher was too irrational, which is rare, he was far too desperate to get ahead of Trulli and pushed too hard too soon when he did get ahead.

Given the events of the last few weeks (and more to come), I think he has a fair point to emphasise.

Another pont - regards overtaking this time. Not that long ago the Adelaide hairpin used to be one of the best overtaking areas of the whole season. No more.
:thumbsup: Max, you dickhead.
