Bad luck for Raikonnen, excellent drive by Montoya.
Quite amazing that the best car (McLaren) probably won't win either championship. |

Only because they aren't realiable, and in the first 3 or 4 races Renault was faster.. |

| Great first race for Doornbos, although a bit unlucky (drive through, hit by Villeneuve) |

Has Holland had any drivers on F1 on the last few years? I can only remember Jos Verstappen, and this guy who was hyped as a possible F1 driver but never made it called Tom Coronel. |

OMG, i bet Kimi is pretty pissed. These retirements are becoming a joke now, especially when it keeps happening to mercedez - one of the better teams.
Once again, there was hardly any overtaking - generally a boring race for me. Actually, even Alonso said the race was boring after kimi retired. |

i didn't think his drive was all that special.. he simply had the best car. the McLaren was just WAY faster than the rest of the field
the way Jenson took second in last year's German GP, THAT was one hell of a drive. |

Hutchinson Whampoa Ltd., the Hong Kong-based
provider of voice and data communications services, may be preparing to buy controlling interest in Formula One racing for about $1 billion, reports BBC News. The series currently is 75% owned by three banks— JPMorgan, Bayerische Landesbank and Lehman Bros.—and 25% by British tycoon Bernie Ecclestone. But until recently Ecclestone had operating control over F1. BBC cites news reports that the banks are willing to
sell, but Hutchinson wants Ecclestone’s approval before it
makes a move. |
Anyone read anything about this?

interesting, but theres been so many rumoured takeovers you don't know what to believe or not.....
First the banks wanted to buy Eccelstone out
Then Midland (who now own Jordan)
There was a group from Bahrain (mighta happened twice)
And now this group. |

I thought it was a pretty decent race.
Moment of the weekend was a quote from BAR (about williams & Button) "they may well have a solid contract but would you really want somebody driving for you who didn't want to be in the team". Such short memomories :haha: |

| One of the more exciting races from 2005, Button vs Schumacher was fun to watch as Michael had no grip with 25 laps to go and was fighting for his ferrari to come home. Kimi, what can you say, a top driver with the worst luck i feel so sorry for him as this easily could've been his first world championship. If it wasn't for Nurburgring and Hockenheim he would be right up therre next to Alonso, heck even Schumacher can take 2nd if Raikkonen has more bad luck which I hope he doesn't because at the moment he deserves to win the championship. |

This week Michelin begins reimbursing ticketholders
to this year’s Formula One auto race at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The French tiremaker says
it has set aside $12 million for the program.
Most teams in the June 19 race opted not to run after
Michelin discovered it had supplied them with defective
tires. The fiasco left a field of only six cars—none of them
in contention for the championship title—to parade around
the track on their Bridgestone tires. |
Anyone else receive anything? I got a letter saying i will get reimbursed. |
