They are both pushing Barrichello

Once again, it looks as though the BAR's let Button down again, as happened at Suzuka.

Safety car out

Karthikeyan just crashed! Not sure where it happened, and...the safety car's out again! Debris all over the track there.

Apparently, it was a heck of a crash; nose cone gone, wheel tethers failed. And Villeneuve nearly got collected in the aftermath!

Alonso pits, they are all diving into the pits on L30, except Ralf
