Well theres a few suprises there.

- Ralph Firman with the 4th fastest time.
- 3 good drives in Fizi, Trulli and Villeneuve rounding out the final 3 places.
- The Minardis in positions 11 and 13.
- Webber has got another reasonable position.

But this only the Friday Qualifying so id expect this to change around quite a bit.

[Essendon Fan]

Awesome,
there will be a bit of competition,
but go Schumi and Webs!

 

[Gridlock'd]

Im stayin up to watch it!
Its gonna be HUGE!

 

[Unwritten_Law]

I'm spewing. My alarm clock didn't go off and I woke up in time to see the end of the press conference

Two more points for Webber, he likes finishing 7th, and although he lost his Championship lead Raikkonen must have had a good race to get back up to 6th from the back of the grid.

 

[Slax]

Raikkonen went for a one stop strategy because he was at the back of the grid and it work out well for him. Pity there wasn't another DNF and Minardi would've got a point.

Yeah the race wasnt too bad really, apart from the fact that I fell asleep with 10 laps to go!

I did that a few GP's ago. It sucks when you wake up and go 'what the hell happened'.

The race was OK - it proved that RS cant pass to save himself
