Ralf Schumacher is penalised a 25 second penalty for what the stewards considered an unsafe manouvre on Nick Heidfeld following his second pit stop. This means Ralf Schumacher loses his 8th place to Nick Heidfeld
Toyota will appeal

It appears that Ralf Schumacher jumped in front of Nick Heidfeld at the second round of stops forcing Heidfeld to brake hard to avoid him.
Heidfeld said "At the last pit-stop Ralf Schumacher got in front of me
by forcing me to brake hard and avoid a crash."

The way Alonso kept MS in such a cool way, no making mistakes under such a pressure only shows that he's champion material!!
that was so GREAT!! i'm very happy for him! a deseved win! =)
excatly the opposite for Button... he's similar to Trulli, thay can do good races but they lack that Champ-factor which Kimi, Alonso Montoya and Shumierda have...
, MS 
JV!!! 
. Webber
