Good job to Kimi. Love watching Michael ran into Webber and took himself out. Ferrari dominated the F-1 for way too long, time for them to pack it in for the season.

so did Montoya purposely cut off Monteiro's Jordan, and cause undue damage to his own rear diffuser ?
which in turn cause him to loose the required downforce to take that turn, and result in Alfonso overtaking P2.....

wft was he thinking ?

before Cable TV we used to have one of those Satellite Dish antennas in our backyard that was as big as the pool, (heck, you could put it flat on the ground and fill it with water, and it WOULD BE the pool ! )
and we'd pick up Formula 1 races from European TV channels.
They were usually in French or German, but it didn't matter.

There's talk Kimi has signed a "preliminary agreement" with the Prancing Horse. It's been denied by Kimi's agent and Mercedes mgmnt.

There was also silly season talk of an out and out "switch" in '07....Kimi to Scuderia and Michael to *shudder*....I can't even type it. I don't buy that...and agree it is probably Michael's agent trying to jack his price up in the contract negotiations with Team Red.

Only "for sure" bit I know of is Rubens to BAR.
