Bridgestone have obviously produced much better hot weather compounds, and with some hot races coming up combined with the August test ban, Renault sould be worried about the immediate future. It would seem that the car is much harder on the rears than either McLaren or Honda. If BARs' pace is for real, there are suddenly many more drivers in the mix for points, since better Bridgies will benefit Toyota and Williams, particularly Jarno and Mark at this point.
Now if overtaking were just a little bit easier, we'd have quite a show on our hands. |

Overtaking seemed as easy in this race as it seems difficult at other tracks. It seemed almost impossible for a slower leading car to resist a fast car behind it - unless the following car was a teammate... or Jarno Trulli.

Back to reality, I was actually surprised the Williams lasted as long as it did. |

It's a strange season. The races have hardly been riveting but both championships are well in the balance with six races left. All of a sudden it's Schumacher and Ferrari on a roll and Alonso and Renault looking like they're going backwards but nothing stays the same for long in F1.

I thought it was a thorughly enjoyable race. I can recall at least half a dozen good passes off the top of my head. Sure the Ferraris cleared off, but the battles behind them were top notch.
Anyone unhappy with that one is either not a racing fan, or is impossible to please. |

yeah i thought it was a pretty good race, because there were plenty of good battles all along, varying strategies, and there was a real chance that once a car was caught that the challenging driver could do something about it. Plenty of good drives all the way along the field. And the cracks of pressure have started to appear in the title leader (PS that high speed save by alonso late in the race was pretty damn spectacular!)
And now, after one of the better races this season, it appears as though we wont see hockenheim next season... would have much preferred nurburgring to go personally... http://f1.racing-live.com/f1/en/head...30114318.shtml |

Mark did brilliantly well in the race, he’s making a habit of getting great starts and gaining places on the first lap while staying out of trouble at the same time – lessons learnt from last year. Not to mention he was punching out lap after lap as fast as the car could go. It was a shame he wasn’t a tenth of a second further up when Kimi came out of the pits, although I think Kimi would have passed him anyway it would have been a good dice. I thought it was a good race too. Despite the Ferraris having the win in the bag from early on, we had some good dicing for the following positions, and actual genuine passing on the track! |

Its an interesting little point (well, maybe not that interesting...) but from looking at the race results, here, the 2 torro rosso's were the fastest team in the pits - in that both their drivers spent 42.5 and 42.6 s in the pits, whereas the next closest was alonso with 44.3, and most 2 stoppers being in the mid 44s... - is this just good teamwork? or is it because the restricted v10 uses less fuel due to not revving as high?
just curious anyway.... |
