Firstly I must say that we are watching a legend in the making, Juan Pablo Montoya. I have watched him for quite sometime and a year and a half ago placed a bet that he'll win this years driver championship. However, I believe that the Williams-BMW is causing some sort of turbulence that is causing problems for cars that get too close. Villenueve, Barrichello and Verstappen (very experienced drivers) have all said that the Williams seemed to brake early, It could be that the they were actually dragged towards the Williams

Yep, my thoughts exactly, it cant be a coincidence, Jos for example has driven 77 GP's and has NEVER been involved in such an incident, so why do divers with that much experience are bumping into a Williams, because it already happened 4 times, and in al 4 cases the "guilty" party said that the Williams braked very early.
In fact: the difuser on the Williams creates a larger vacuum behind the car than any other car and the car behind it gets dragged in........ I think the FIA should take a good look at their difuser and rear wing....., this is getting dangerous..... BTW: Jaques, sorry for calling you an idiot after the Melbourne GP, I can see now it was'nt your fault....... |

Oh yes, and why MS didn't hit JPM ?, after all, he was more than 15 laps in front of Schumie.
