Brazilian GP Craziness

What a mess! Oh well, i guess those are the breaks. Here's how the final moments went for me.


what a race so far.... torrenntial rains finally drying up and plenty of safety car laps.... so many falling victim to the same curve... JPM spining out...Schumi spining out...and


Barrichello's car pooping out on him while on P1!!!!!! That's right, Ferrari's DNF for the Brazilian GP!

Who's left?

Kimi and....wait! Mark Weber and Alonso just had a huge crash! race stopped!! lots of debris...man what's going on today...DC's still in there. We're under red flag with under 30 laps left!

man...and the winner is...Fisichella?

man, you know it's a crazy race when the Unimog goes out on the track!

No! It's Raikkonen!!!!!!! with fisichella alonso and DC following!!!!!


Definitely not the way you want to see a race decided....but i guess those are the breaks. Once again, Kimi capitalizes on carnage.

That was easily the wierdest race I ever watched.

Once again Barachello DNF in Brazil. That makes him the unluckiest driver in Brazil ever. I mean come on 8 races in Brazil now and a DNF for each one??????

I nearly burst out when I saw Jordan take the lead, talk about LUCK.

that was pretty crazy
it's always a mess when you have 11 cars left in the race at about only halfway into it
if Coulthard would have not pitted the second time he'd have won easily but who could have predicted those bad crashes

I also think they added way too much fuel for the remained of the race. He was only 0.4 seconds behind R3, so it could have been a 1 3 finish again.

If the race had continued, Coulthard would have probably won. Apparently Kimi stopped for some fuel right at the time of the red flag. And Fisichella would have had to pit too. But I'm a big Kimi fan, so I'm happy. He made some great passes in the rain and made it look so easy.

Man, that was a fked up race...I agree w/Matt, i think DC would have won if it wasn't for that red flag, he was fresh out of the pits....


That CLK 55 with the quad exhaust looked sweet...
