2 - Fisichella (Jordan) 8 pts
3 - Alonso (Renault) 6 pts
4 - Coulthard (McLaren) 5 pts
5 - Frentzen (Sauber) 4
6 - Villeneuve (BAR) 3
7 - WEEBER (Jaguar) 2
8 - Trulli (Renault) 1
---------------------
9 - R. Schumacher (Williams)
10 - Da Matta (Toyota)

What an amazing race !!!!!!!!
About 7 cars went off at the turn 3 swimming pool,with Webber the only one able to get his car back on track.
Ruebens must cursed.8 years in a row he's failed to finish at his home track.
Hopefully Alonso isn't too badly injured.He seemed to have a problem with his right knee.

Incredible.

I made the effort to get up and I'm not disappointed. Fisichella was robbed mind you but how lucky were Webber and Alonso. Coulthard would now be wishing he stayed out for just that little bit longer.

Big questions have to be asked over turn 3 and the FIA's rule of only allowing one set of wet tyres. It was lucky noone was seriously hurt. The panel beaters will be in for a big job. They might as well rip the sole remaining tyre off Webber's car and Jaguar can enter a bobsleigh team in the Winter Olympics.

Unbelievable start to the season for McLaren and Raikkonen but Ferrari and Schumacher will be getting a bit worried. It seems he is not as invincible as everyone thought.

Fisichella was deadset robbed of a win. But Kimi winning again is bloody awesome.

Awful crash by Alonso and Webber.

Yet another failure for Schumacher!!!

Gotta love F1 racing in 2003!

Fishi 5th in Drivers Championship

If only Kimi called people "a pack of a....holes".

What a race! I taped it (there's a 2:45 in the morning now!) but I'm glad I went on a media blackout all day Monday.

I absolutely ****ed myself laughing when Schuey went off, then Mark Webber was able to hold on to it. Now who's the best driver in the world, eh?

Agree with Fisichella being robbed - he led the last completed lap of the race - they shouldn't have gone back 2 laps to find the winner.

And there will be some BIG discussions on April 20 about these rules - McLaren, Jordan, Renault, Jaguar will be begging for them to continue, while Williams and Ferrari will be against them.

F1 at its best.

Kimi's move around the outside of Ralf was sheer brilliance, followed by Alonso's move which was simply outrageous.

Can anyone explain why it goes back 2 laps and not 1 like every other motor sport? Seems a very strange one, and I can't think of a logical reason. 1 lap I understand, but not 2.

Brazil is a great track, shame about Turn 3.

The new rules are the best thing to happen to F1 in years, 3 of the best races for a long time.

Shame Imola is such a sanitised track these days, could still be a boring race. Ferrari and McLaren with new cars will make it interesting.

No idea why it went back two laps, thats a strange one!! Martin was reading out the rules from his book and it said it should only go back one lap, therefore Fishi won the race!!
