Pizzonia out qualifying Webber might save his job. Coulthard must've stuffed up to by down that low.

He would want to get a few points before the end of the season to stay on.

The biggest surprise is Barrichello taking pole.

I wish the final qualifying session was televised, even if it was shown early in the morning.

I think Couthard has qualified down around 8th-12th a few times this year.He doesn't seem to be a good qualifier.

He was one of the first, if the not the first, to attempt his flying lap and he somehow was able to hold onto top position. Anyway, good on him, its good to see him doing well again!

A sensational drive by Ruebens to win the race.

Was that Peter Hoare that ran on to the track causing chaos early in the race ? What a bloody stupid thing to do.He could've been killed [no great loss] or he could've killed a few drivers trying to avoid him.

Lets hope the track marshalls sunk the boots into the dumb prick.

i think having a guy run out onto the race track was a ploy by F1 head honchos to add some excitement to the race ...imagine if he ran an extra 20m or so, cars coming out of the corner would have no time to swerve outta the way.

anyways, i only saw parts of the race, but what was up with webber taking that 3rd pit stop - sending him from 8th to 14th was it purely for refuelling?...if so, why didn't they refuel him to the end of the race on his 2nd stop?

The fool who ran out provided one of the best races of the season because of the safety cars (including the one for Coulthard's neck brace) completely stuffed up the order.

Jaguar had a shocking race with their strategies. Pizzonia was screwed over as well. The nut case that ran out must have been paid by Toyota or a fanatical DC fan, after all he was wearing a kilt

Nah it was Jackie Stewart!
Pretty funny though i have to admit, and it did lead to one of the best races of the season.

That was utter lunacy. Hahahahah.

Good drive by Kimi!

Good to see the top drivers forced down the order and having to work thier way through the field with some nice overtaking manouvres .... on the track (and not the pits) for a change !!!

Easily the best race in the last few seasons (excluding any of the partially wet races).
