Alonso now 1 second behind Massa; Alonso tries to pass him............can't get it done; next corner, they're approaching Kovalainen.........both around Kovalainen...........Alonso's all over the back of Massa's Ferrari; this is getting great!!

Now on the backstraight, heading for the chicane...........Massa holds off Alonso through the chicane; dragrace now the frontstraight.........Massa holds him off!!!

Some of the teams short-filled on the last round of stops; could they run out of fuel?

Alonso now 8 seconds in front of Massa; Hamilton lining up Fisichella for a pass for 9th

Certainly VERY eventful race...

Congrats to Alonso. He did very well.

Massa: losing at the very last? Disappointing.

Webber and Coulthard: Great job. Both of em.

Wurz: Quite good. He started real slow but managed to pick up speed in time.

Kube and Heidi: They certainly took the opportunity. Could have been better. Then again considering Heidfeld's 6 (SIX!) stops he's still amazingly up there.

Kovalainen: Too big of a gamble. He didn't need that.

Hamilton: Too many mistakes; both driver errors and strategy problems. He drove just about okay.

Raikkonen: He's back to the old days. Nurburgring is perhaps the most hated circuit in his book.

As for the Driver of the Day: I think Alonso deserves it but DC and Webber are not far behind. I gotta make up my mind before Ed posts the poll.
