How many of you are F1 fans? For the last few years I've been following quite passionately. Thing I remember the most is watching Jenson Button racing (then in the Renault) and it may sound strange, but I liked his style. The race I remember the most was when he was in 4th and ended up going out with a hydrolic problem with like 3 laps to go. Well, I've been following him the most of any driver and I think he's capable of a lot... Second podium finish in a row which now puts him in 3rd (15 points) for the driver's championship and tied with Williams for the constructors championship with 19 points.
Well, Ferrari took 1-2 again. Michael with 3 wins and 3 pole positions. Not a surprise to anyone. Most people think he's cocky... I think he's just THAT good (and having a great car/team with great sponsors helps as well.)
Surprises/upsets: Mclaren with only 4 points so far this season. Of 3 cars not to finish today, 2 were McLarens. [u[Kimi Raikkonen is yet to finish a race this season.[/u] His season isn't looking so good and same goes for the team. Williams had a tough time as well. Ralf got hit by Sato in turn 2. They put the blame on each other but I think it was just racing and if anyone is to be blamed, I'd say it's Ralf's fault unless he absolutely didn't see Sato beside him. Montoya was in 3rd with ~10 laps to go and lost gear after gear eventually losing all but 4th and rolling over the finish in 13th.
Renault's Trulli finished 4th with a relatively clean race with little excitement but Alonso showed his skill and balls with a poor grid position and then a mishap on lap one causing him to pit and come out 30 seconds behind everyone and finishing up in 6th.
Well, I could go on, but I think that's enough. Those that want more, would probably read up on it themselves. The race was fun to watch... especially with the Italians in the restaurant screaming at every driver for doing something wrong and even when they did something right. You're one of them, huh, Milu?
Three weeks till Imola.
