The man is a wuss. He was asking before the race if they please could not make any accidents at the start and during the race.
That is like asking at rugby if they could please not make physical contact with eachother, cause someone could get hurt.
And why was Montoya punished for something schumacher caused??

The coverage did suck pretty bad. They mist out almost all battles and dropp-outs. Not even a good rerun of the startaccident between monoya and schumacher
From what I saw of the Montoya-Schumacher accident I thought the 'drive-through' penaty was very harsh. Not debating the incident for a moment I thought Montoya already paid a penalty by dropping back as far as he did.
On the incident itself, it just appeared Schumacher understeered into Montoya, and the reason that happened was because of the inside line Michael took into the corner after the rather aggressive chop across the front of the field at the start. Racing incident - there was enough room.
The worrying thing, though, is that if that incident hadn't occurred, and Barrichello hadn't blown up, Ferrari would probably have finished 1-2.

I disagree. I think the Williams' had the legs of the Ferraris out there. I mean, they were trading fastest laps all afternoon.
I think if Schuey does that to Montoya at the start again, Montoya may forget to lift...

I agree. Why were we subjected to following that boring whining Brazilian space-waster when there were all sorts of passing moves going on down the field?!
Well - I haven't seen the race (thanks to a certain number 1 free to air broadcaster in Australia, I had to watch the race ON THE FREAKING INTERNET!!!) but will be watching over the course of the week after taping it at the ungodly hour Channel 9 elected to show it.
From what I saw on the web Reubens looked pretty comfortable - was this not the case?

No, not really. He was on a two-stop strategy, and Ralf was one-stopping. Rubens, on light fuel, led, but Ralf had the gap pegged at about 6-8 seconds. When Rubens pitted, Ralf went into the lead, which he held and built to about 26 seconds on his long first stint. His pit stop put Rubens back ahead, but he had another stop to make, and Ralf didn't.

I haven't seen it yet, but I know about Ruben's engine. He may not be the pick of the litter, but I feel sorry for him.

The host broadcasters did a terrible job. This is their 4th GP, so it's no excuse. Hardly any replays and they showed almost no passing (just the parade of leaders). Lousy work.
At least Speed Channel showed the replay of the fouled-up Toyota pitstop.

Okay - finally saw the race - Williams were doing it pretty easily.
Methinks this will hurry the F2002 along, as it appears Ferrari are going to need it.
Disappointed with Sato so far - his F3 and other junior formulae record suggested he was pretty good. Might just be nerves.

Strip DC of his #1 driver spot and give it to Kimi... he outqualified Coulthard at both races, and he finished on the podium at Melbourne... sad thing he blew it up this weekend, though...
DC, you'll never be the #1 driver in any team, even if you ended up at Minardi... hang the helmet...
