Alonso takes his 5th!

Trulli really spoiled Schumi's day...

He bottled Schumi (and the rest of the field) for a good quarter of the race. By the time Schumi scooted ahead of him (through a splash & dash pit stop) the lead by Alonso was just too wide.

Nice 2-stop strategy by the McLarens though... since Trulli was holding everybody back, their heavy fuel loads were not compromised.

interesting what he can do when Michelin actually allows a race to take place :bwahaha:

btw, i'm really enjoying Schumacher and Ferrari actually facing some competition and finding themselves playing catch-up for the first time in a long while...

Walang hiya si Raikkonen, nagsimula sa 13th place. Jumingle lang ako saglit, pagbalik ko nasa 2nd place na siya. Anak ng pusa.

terrific race for Raikkonnen... even better than Alonso's!

But still, with Alonso's pace, it would have been close, with him maybe still on top, even without Raikkonnen starting from the back.

Very good race overall, for everyone.

Except Takuma Sato... that was a really crappy performance...
