So, Shumacher(sp) matched his record of 11 wins in a season. Kimi's wing broke off going 150MPH going into turn 1. Jenson Button had a great run in the Honda coming from 13th on the grid to a 2nd place finish. Button and Alonzo's duel for P2 was rather exciting. Button also had a loose strap on his carbon fiber helmet. It kept lifting off his head. So, for a good portion of the race he drove one-handed with the other hand holding his helmet down.

Interesting to see the post race interviews where Button and Alonzo got most of the attention. Seems Shumis domination gets stale.

F1 rocks :rock:

Yea, pretty good race. Definately the big scare was
Kimi's flying wing! Yikes! Lucky he walked away.

Good battles with Button and Alonzo, Montoya and Sato.
Schuy of course does it again. Just no stoping the machine.

Robbie....did you DVR the race? How's the new DVR? You likey?

The germans seemed to like the wreck. What a bunch of turds.

Yes! I'll post a review over in OT sometime. It's cool but has a few quirks.

Isnt it funny it was just a couple years ago when Michael first went to Ferrari and the car was blowing motors left and right and now he is dominating.

Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren Mercedes, DNF
Raikkonen never asked for the title ‘The Iceman’ but after another tempestuous race exit it can hardly apply.

He may be hacked off that the car failed him, but then again it would, it’s not red. Only the red cars don’t retire.

I don’t remember Alain Prost or Ayrton Senna throwing their toys out of the pram when their McLarens retired. Mika Hakkinen did it at Monza one year, but that was a rare event.

Love the second paragraph.
