he did - but what did the crowd really think about only 8 cars running at the end? - pit stops/tyres/fuel, they can cope with - but, if F1 is to succeed in the USA our cars need to be less fragile :shrug:

Blimey there was some serious carnage there!

But any Americans who say that F1 is boring needs to seriously reconsider their opinions!!

Or, rather, that the Yanks need to understand that F1 is not Indy Cars or whatever. For instance they could have (should have!) taken the pack through the pitlane after the Ralph Schumacher incident, instead of making them drive through masses of debris (and *why* did it take so long for them to get anyone *to* his car??) which may well have contributed to later incidents

Also why the *hell* did it take three quarters of the race to decide to exclude Montoya? I'm sure there are going to be protests about that in the next few days.

It's a pity, because it was a great race.

very true , after watching the champ cars where they bounce all over the place and as long as the wheels are pointing in the right direction they just carry on going :tu:

it looked to me as schumacher was trying too hard to get pole , and with barichello in 10th , i cant see him getting much backup unless he is on another well weird strategy :erm: , there will be summat wrong if alonso doesnt make a storming start and schumacher could well find him having some serious fun with button and coulthard until coulthards engine gives up :disturbd:

with Renaults reputation for making good starts, I reckon you're right, Paul, Alonso should have the drop on the rest of them.

I'm hoping Coulthard's engine (and Raikonnen's) will do the distance, they are supposed to have modified it to improve the oil flow - need a 'fingers crossed' smiley. :) :scratch:

yes, a sad day, in my opinion, Max seems to be a real gent.

I reckon he's had enough of the b*ching & arguing and not being able to get the rule changes past the team bosses. He was less than complimentary about one of them, but it wasn't disclosed which one that was. :erm:
