TOYOTA is no fluke at all, it might be just the driver difference that makes Fernando beat Jarno......

And good to see FERRARI being right there with the pace, now they have to get reliability for Imola.

MCLAREN is certainly very close, but the so-called dream duo Kimi/Juan make too many faults...............Pedro was more than decent standing in...

WILLIAMS and BAR have also every chance to be at the fight for P4-6 but they must keep improving.

REDBULL might run out on potential but their showing is still creditable, while SAUBER must find 0.3 sec(Jaques +1 sec) per lap to match the teams in front.

Anyway good racing, great season, watch out for a FERRARI 1-2 in Imola

And your take on the race Mr Webber

Did you watch the race on 10

(or do you have a link specially set up for you courtesy of Webber). Posting at 6:45 AM, did you sleep

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 2:15 pm

Tha link is not courtey of Webber,

The Williams engines (bmw) were "at the limit of their thermal parAmeters" Nicks went over...kaboom (2nd hot race on that engine) so they rev limited him and he was unable to defend.

and his super duper off

Thermal effects too

That was cool, scary but!!

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 3:05 pm

Yep, thermal effectshot tyres, hot sand, hot track

It was a pretty good recovery eh! And Kimmi? I think off trackers were the norm this weekend. By the way, rumours from very good sources say that Montoyas "tennis raquet" had 2 wheels and nobbly tyres
