Ralf Schumacher also did well finishing 6th despite starting from the back.
Michael Schumacher who started in 8th finished in 7th. He had to change a nose earlier in the race after hitting the back of Coulthard's car as a result of a spin by Albers!
Barrichello make up the top 8. He was in 7th but was passed by Michael on the final lap!

A rather optimistic move by Villeneuve on his teammate and they both end up outside the points.

No one's more of a Webber fan than me but Nick was the better driver on the day. He started well (though Webber *claims* his clutch was hopeless) and needed only 1 attempt to get by Alonso cleanly whereas Webber needed 2 attempts and was very lucky. But both drivers were very good anyway.
I thought it was interesting that Williams pitted Heidfeld first - they must have known it would mean Nick would end up ahead.

I wondered if Frank was punishing Webber for *another* poor start? Interesting stuff!

Maybe Webber should punish Frank for the car he was given.
