Well, Schumy did drive well enough to be the only B-Tyre in the top stakes. But lets not forget Alonso! He drove like a man possessed...........and is a good replacement for the title "Rainmaster"

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAN its really on now....looks like the odds are stacked heavily against ferrari....with mr massa last on the grid and raikko in front of schumi...and fishi there on the top row....looks like its RENAULT all the way....

# more laps wud have been great if u are an Alonso fan .. Luv the way he caught up in the end !!! Makes the season even more interesting ....

Though I wish Fisi had closed the door totally when MS was sneaking past ... given him a taste of his own medicine .. that crash wud have been spectacular !!!

Never the less .. 2 races to go and CS tied !!!

Cheers

What a race!!! Beautiful.Excellent racing by Michael

what a shameless act by renault.Fichella could have gone by fonso around a chicane.very very poor and on top they accuse ferrari,losers.

Now lets see what fonso and his fans have to say,"Mummy,Nobody helps me"

devarshi84 · 1st October 2006, 13:35

Schumacher was excellent but I really pity Alonso.

Renault first gives him wront tyres and then they let go of Fisichella first.

What was on their minds?

Really?

Alonso drove well, but he manged to croos the line only three seconds after schumi as schumi was cruising away to the finish line instead of driving hard. With the gap he had to alonso i doubt schumi would want to drive hard for no reason at all and risk the win.

Great drive by kubica, and the schumi story continues.

MS proved yet again why people consider him as one of the greatest drivers ever... Impressive racing, and good support from his team...

I do wish Kimi's car hadn't gone for a toss, though... Would have been nice if MS came first, and Kimi second, just so MS could get a good lead in the drivers championship, point-wise.

Woo hoo!!! The Champ scores yet again....

Good one mate!!!! What a sore looser he is... Should have seen him after the race, scampering out of the car and into the building after parking in the lot...

My friend... fisi had absolutely no idea what came and overtook him... I guess it must have been the team radio that informed him that he was just overtaken by MS....!!!

What a brilliant and consistent drive by Michael. No mistakes at all, and perfectly positioned to Victory. As a Michael fan also, I didnt expect him to win this race.

Renault goofed up, and mistakes are just not done at this level of the championship. Wrong tyre strategy and goofed up pitstop. They could have increased the lead to 4 points!

I didnt get it. What is this?

This is what "Mummy,Nobody helps me", means....
Add to it - "the raingods didnt show up...."

some races ago Fonso had claimed that only Michael gets help from team mates
and that he races on his own without any help.today after what happened he cannot say a word.Renault handed him the second place.

secondly he always accuses others for his defeat,the fact that his tyres were worn and not Fisichella's was his own fault,but i am sure he will blame the team for it.

and the story goes on.........

WHAT A RACE!!!!
Oh and what a PATHETIC SPORT ALONSO IS.. did you guys see how he just turned his back and walked off after the cars came into Parc Ferme... not even a congratulatory gesture towards Michael..
All you Michael haters... now what do you have to say about that pathetic LOOSER ALONSO!!!

sanket12 · 1st October 2006, 17:59

a very exciting races in a long long long time.... really enjoyed watching this gp & the gp which was held earlier..

Fantastic Race overall. Man was Schumacher lucky to win this one. First Kimi's engine blowing up, then Alonso stuck with a set of scrappy tyres. If Kubica didn't go for the slicks early on, the podium would have looked a lot different. For the sake of pure exhaliarating entertainment:
1. Alonso
2. Kimi
3. Kubica
4. Button
5. Sato

As for poor Nick Heidfeld... just goes to show what a major role back-markers can play in F1.
