well deserved victory for Raikkonen, he was really on it today.

Ya gotta feel sorry for Zonta, coming easy fourth only for that piece of crap Toyota to let go. That result would have been really good not only for Zonta next year but for Toyota as a team.

great victory by Rubens Barrichello, finally it's his turn.


worst drivers of the day: Zsolt Baumgartner and Antonio Pizzonia

I only watched till Kimi retired... How come his car always breaks down?!..

It's also beyond me how the fuck did Ferrari manage to take the first two places? Wasn't Schumi like 20 secs behind at one point? And I thought Ruben's chances to win were over after his very early pitstop to change the tyres.

the reason is simple.. Ferrari have the best car. Michael put in a series of very quick laps after he had cleared Pizzonia. and Barrichello, who was on a three stop strategy, did the same thing after Button and Alonso had made their stops.

did anyone see the incidence where the "track crew" denied to push Alonzo's car so he could resume driving?
hes engine was running, and his front weels was one the track...
isn't that exactly the same thing that happend last season? where the crew DID push Schumi's car...

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

i think a new rule was introduced this year where a driver gets penalised if the marshals help him back on the track.

Well, the race was in Monza, wich is the home circuit of Ferrari. I think if Alonso was inside a red car the people have helped him. But since he drives a Renault...

umm, no, no such rule had been introduced...

anyways, i thought this was the best race of the season... button had 1st place locked, but then, wtf happened?! oh well, at least BAR is making a run at ferrari, and they seem to be the only ones... i can't wait for next season, i just hope they pick up a good driver to replace button...

Directly from Formula1.com:
As a general rule a driver must drive the car ‘alone and unaided’. However, if a driver stops in a dangerous position during a race it is the responsibility of the marshals to move the car to safety as quickly as possible. This may involve assisting a driver if he is unable to drive the car.

The rule (as far as I understand it):
A driver may receive outside help if his car is in a dangerous position (eg, MSC on the edge of the track at Nurburg last year, Alonso at the edge of the track on Sunday). If his car is not in a dangerous position (eg stranded in the middle of a sand trap) he will be penalised for receiving outside help.

Using this rule (which is how Martin Brundle explained it) Alonso should have received help to remove his car from a dangerous position. There is however some ambiguity in this rule.
