It was looking good, but finally it was just another race where almost everything was decided by strategy and mechanical failures, not one single (meaningful) passing on the track. Montoya came close to do it two times (and with Micheal that wasn't really for a position), and Barrichelo's attempts with Micheal were more like "Hey look everybody, I could if I wanted!" gooood boy... he was clearly faster than Schumacher. Also, I guess Sato still needs more golf sessions with Richards. The only good point about this race is that the other teams are slowly reducing the gap between them and Ferrari. Did anybody else noticed how warm the relations seems to be between the two brothers on the podium?
Dr Devil:
Oui, je parle Français et je regardais RDS... But as I said in other threads, I won't get excited about a possible JV comeback until it's officially announced. Sam Micheal just declared that Mark Weber is their #1 target. Frank Williams also confirmed that they met JV and will most likely run a test with him in August or September, so I guess he's #2 on the list, if Anthony Davidson is not.
And I've been on Crescent Street on Thursday, but there wasn't much to see by then... a bad music show, some ricers, an NSX, a Civic SiR cop car and an old BAR racer. It was overcrowded as hell. I enjoyed Peel Street though, where the Ferrari were. There were a Dino, 512 BB, a race Modena, a 365 GT2+2 among others. I might post some pics later.
Also yesterday night I've seen a club with 6 Ferrari 360 Modena parked in front, and while driving back home i've seen a Gallardo, a 356 spider and a 550 spider in a matter of minutes.
saw this race and was pretty amazing sucks that alanso suspension failed in the begining.
Good for Sauber, they are finally making good use of the Ferrari chassis and engine. Poor ol Toyota though, finally a points finish and they get disqualified. Sato is certainly doing his best to earn "Wally of the Year". Chucks it off in Quali2 and then again in the race. 👎
