This was crazy from the beginning and at the end. I dont know who other people would blame in the collisions at the beginning but clearly I thought it was Ralf fault still debatable. And what luck M. Schumacher with what like 5 laps to go and blew a tire. I think it was cause by some debris when he went a little off-roading to take over Trulli.

Schumacher's luck has caused the championship race to become
real close now. Only 6 points over Montoya.

The best part of the race was when one of the Toyotas wiggled pass Villeneuve. OMG that was too funny.

It was a great race, I hope Montoya wins the championship. He's so close now.

The most amazing thing about the race was after MS got a flat tire and he was almost out of the points, he still tried to claw his way back for all it was worth.
In doing so, he posted a fastest sector 1 time of the race. On the last lap!

Talk about not giving up.

2ND place would have been nice, maybe he passed Trulli to early because DC had a much easier time later on.

This is the first time he has been out qualified by his teammate 2 races in a row. So it is a slump. But I can't imagine him going winless the rest of the way.

Also I think the tie-breaker if the number of wins and he has 4 and the rest Kimi, Ralf, and JPM have 2 or 1(Kimi) win each.

Have you guys noticed how clean Michael has raced over the last 3-4 years? Many of his detractors are quick to point out his ruthless ways, but many of the other drivers now (JP, Alonso, De Matta) have displayed considerably more aggressive tactics of late. Kimi is interesting for being so clean at such a young age.
