Providing the Ferrari's stay on the Track they will run 1 and 2.

Juan, Kimi and Daivd Coulthard will fight for the other Podium spot

Looks like a wet race which means anything could happen as most teams wouldn't have done much if any wet practice this season.

Michael is on pole again,with Rueben's 2nd & Montoya 3rd.
The McLaren's are about 11th & 14th.

Yeah Mclaren are going down hill fast!!! What a shame, looks like ferrari are going to dominate again!

Theres only 1 Ferrari i would like to see win tomorrow and thats Ruben's
Go Rubens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Webber!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mattyc2422]

Go you mighty McLarens.

 

[lamby29]

Go Coulthard!! About time Ferrari didn't win.

 

[supa-gal]

About time Ferrari didn't get a podium spot as well!

 

[JUBJUB]

Everytime Juan Montoya gets the lead he does something dumb and gives it away.Today was no different.

 

[mattyc2422]

I'm not a big racing fan, but when the GP's come around I want any Aussies to do well,and for McLaren to place in the top 3.

Both Coulthard and Raikkonen had very controlled races- great finish.

Well ill be damned i wasnt even close with my predictions!! Good to see Mclaren winning hopefully it will be closer this year! It was also good to see Sauber and Renault and to a lesser exten BAR and Jordan putting in a good performance! It shows that the whole F1 field is getting closer together!

 

[Adrian Shelton]

Don't really know why there messing with the rules though, Ferrari collapse in on themselves every few years so all we had to do was wait.

 

[Malibu]

Well Done DC!

Villenue & Button weren't really on speaking terms before the GP.I doubt yesterday's blunder will improve their relationship.

Ha ha yeah and it wouldnt surprise me at all if Villenuve did that on purpose he is an absolute prick of a man!

Yeah I was thinking that was a possibility as well.

I'm still sceptical if the rule changes affected the race as much as the media said they did. Qualifying definately, Race too early to tell. It was more the tactics with the tyres at the start that blew the race open....

 

[roostersgal4eva]

great race - the new rules are fannnntastic & nice to see DC win and no ferrari on the podium but

DAMM THAT BLASTED JAGUAR! never mind - the signes look promising

Mark was briliant - great strategy and what about his pace! He was pulling away from DC and was gaining on MS and co. - he may of DNF the race but there is definate potential

GO MARK WEBBER!

I don't think the new rules had any effect on the race results.Michael Schumacher had to make an extra stop because he damaged his car going curb hopping,otherwise he probably would've won.

The new qualifying rule will be interesting when there's a weather change during a qualifying session.
