Nice wasn't it? I loved the strategy. With Alonso in first they knew
how much fuel he had. The extra four laps was all that was needed.
Well done Ross!

I fear tho' that Michael will regret his off in Australia. Thirteen
points down and with only two points difference between second and first
he'd have to win the next SEVEN races with Alonso second to pass him for
the WDC lead. Give me the old 10-6-4-3-2-1 anytime.

Classic Ferrari strategy, and flawlessly executed by Schumie, after the
first pit I was worried that they ahd missjudged, but at second rounds when
Schumie just keept going it feelt good.

Maybe 10-7-4 ?

Rubens who? ;)
Massa didn't make much noise but did a good job too, his best career result
so far.
Alonso is gonna be a hard nut to crack, but not impossible and if Michael
and Philippe keeps performing it looks good for constructors.

And did you see the look on Flav's face when Michael didn't come in?
Classic!

Anything but the way it is now. They shouldn't give points down to 8th
either, that's lame. This is F1 after all, not Nascar!

I hate to see him struggle like he is. At least he beat Jense today (of
course Jenson "done blowed up" again!)

Respectable. Kept Kimi at bay. That was enough. Who knows, with the
return to form, he might just luck into a win along the way.

Indeed. Fissy certainly isn't doing much to help Renault.

All in all a great day. Nice to see the team coming together again.
Think Michael's happy about it?

What commitment! In order to minimize his racing weight, he has had the
lower half of his legs amputated.

Fantastic.

He's secretly been using my hand controls to drive this season.
