This race was craaaaaaazy! Don't know what to say, I'm so happy that Fernando won! It has been a long time since Monaco..

Poor Heikki, he had a great race, but he only get one point. Sad

the race was HILARIOUS. perfect debut for markus winkelhock.LED THE RACE IN A SPYKER.even michael schumacher can't do that Very Happy

.

i was a tad disappointed when jenson went off the track but it was quite amusing since it happened straight after alex yoong went " Great start by jenson button". the race became crazier when car after car skidded off. good thing they decided to restart.

brilliant drive by fernando. massa is such a sore loser Confused

and YAY MARK WEBBER! great performance by redbull, even coulthard finished 5th Shocked

loved the part alex tried to overtake mark and he was so nice bout it after the race Wink

unlike a certain somebody -.-

btw what happened to kimi?

mechanical problem with hydraulics...blah-blah Sad

But despite this the race was indeed hilarious, especially the part with Winkelhock leading the race lap after lap and this corner which gathered half of the grid Laughing

Like, Button went first, then Hamilton joined, then another and another like they were having a big party there Laughing

And I don't remember who nearly crashed into the resque truck!

I couldn't see the race yesterday but today I read in a sport newspaper a very good vote for Heikki's performance.

They say he showed his talent in a fight against Raikkonen.

I'm happy that everybody is beginning to understand Heikki's potential! Very Happy

If only he could drive a competitive car...

Oh. My. Goodness!!!!!!!

MAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing

To say I was happy with that result would be an understatement, and it still means that one of my boys has finished on the podium every race. I'm happy to sacrifice a Lewis podium if it means that Mark gets it instead.

What an action-packed race though! I was trying to think earlier what I thought was the most exciting and entertaining bit, but there are too many things to chose from.

Just a shame that Heikki's strong showing didn't end up giving him more points Sad

But yes, my highlights:
- Lewis' mega start
- the hilarity of team-mates tangling (sorry BMW boys)
- Winkelhock leading in his debut in a Spyker!
- the gravel-trap car-park
- Tonio almost taking out the SC, and himself on the recovery crane
- Lewis keeping his wits together and getting rescued from the gravel-trap with the engine still running
- the battle between the RBR boys at the restart
- Fernie almost collecting Fisi in the pit lane
- Lewis' charging spirit and his battles with eg Fisi
- the battle for the lead between Fernie and Flip
- Wurz hunting down Mark and nearly getting him on the last corner
- DC coming from 20th to finish 5th
- the argy-bargy between Fernie and Flip after the race
- the congrats that Fernie gave Mark after the race....

Is that all? You'd normally be lucky to get that many highlights in a whole season!

Well you've all done it at least once boys, now how about being up there all together sometime next season?!

Ha! Yes, it was Liuzzi!

Actually I'd name this race the most interesting so far, all hail the Rain! Very Happy

The race was cool, lets not forget Heiki's move on Alex Wurz!! Idea

PS but Canadian GP and Heikki's P4 from P last still are my highlights Wink

Hi! I couldn't watch the GP and in the news said that Massa and Alonso argued.... What do you think??? I can't be objective. In Spain all journalists love Alonso( this is the main raison I "hate" him.) What happened??

Nuxi, at the end of the race in parc ferme we saw Fernando pointing out a tyre-mark on the side of his car to the cameramen. He was wagging his finger as if to say he wasn't happy. Ron Dennis also went to have a look, and giggled at it!

It seems that Fernando really wasn't happy at the contact between himself and Felipe during the race, and he confronted Felipe about it in the "waiting room" before they went onto the podium. Felipe retaliated and called Fernando an arsehole! Basically the testosterone was flying. The podium celebrations were a little uneasy too!

But, despite that, Fernando did later apologise and said that he just let the adrenaline from the race get the better of him. So it's all been sorted now Smile
