2005 F1 Championship Results

I think Fernando has a match point at his hands now. Everything so far went in his favor plus he drove excellently.

Something has to happen now to spoil his Championship but that looks unlikely. He should be able to win some 2 or 3 GP more and even if he has some DNF(probably 2) he wont be catched.

Kimi looks capable of winning the most races remaining but he is down 32 points now. He will be closer but not enough.

For Michael it starts to look pretty tough, I have no doubt he will win some but his chances look slim to catch Fernando, now Im pretty sure the driver standings after this season will look like:

1st Fernando
2nd Kimi
3rd Michael
4th Nick
5th Jarno

Good to see someone still having faith in Schuey's ability to race

I haven't lost faith in MS either. Maybe he is waiting to shock us. Of course that would be shocking. Really really shocking at this stage.

It could be fun watching Mark go around the outside of him, tho!

Might be more open than we thought.....

Maybe a good bet now for FERRARI to win the constructors?

Or Williams

And if Kimi, Alonso, and Trulli stuck it into the fence a couple of times it could be really good fun

If Montreal showed us anything, it showed us that McLaren and Renault are in a league of their own. There could be a repeat of Montreal once or twice this season but that won't be enough for the rest to catch up.

If you paid attention, Jenson and Michael were half a minute behind before the safety car. Toyota and Williams were nowhere

Still it will be very hard for Raikkonen to beat Alonso in the championship.

The constructors will also be between McLaren and Renault. It will just depend on how unlucky Fisichella is and how motivated Montoya is.

It is a two way fight in both cases. The rest will fight for 3rd

Well Fisi is dead set unlucky and Montreal may have sucked the last motivation out of Montoya, so I think Williams and Toyota are in with a chance to win the WMC, Indy could clarify things, but BAR could be confuse the issue there

Ouch for BAR, imagine having to explain that to your sponsors.

If I was a sponsor in F1, I think I would be asking for directions to the boats after today!
