Good morning all, > 1 minute to go. Parade lap is about to start mechanics leaving grid. Let's hope for a flawless start. Kimi off, Alonso into second, Webber drops to fourth - both Minardis fail to start (one is still locked on the grid - tranny problem??) so safety car is out. MS had made up a place or so as has Heidfeld - Rubens is up to 14. Restart underway. Carol
Green flag... Raikonnen in P1 with Alonso behind. Both Minardis stuck on the grid. MS in 7, RB in 14... go Rubino.
MS made up some places so hopefully not. That would not make me happy! Actually he's passed MS. Wonder if Kimi really has any fuel in that car?!?! Look at his times. Carol
Where's Steve Machett when we need him??? If lap 10 then how many possible stops? What about MS - possible two-stopper?? Carol
I am guessing Lap 10, its impossible he is going that fast on a 2 stopper. MS seems to be running heavy from the lap times.
Ahem has someone sent Coulthard the memo reminding him that Red Bull is getting Ferrari engines in 2006.
Montoya spins at turn 7 & 8 - yipee!! but stays in P7. Drats. He'll do it again - just a matter of time. He's + 6.6 right now. Kimi needs to get a few more seconds stashed before he can think of getting fuel and getting back out in P1. He's working on it for sure! Luizzi spins and is out - wondered why the yellow caution for the track was displayed.
Hi everyone - Hey we are now plus 21 replies - does this constitute a "live" F1 watching party. I'm in central TX - north of Waco - where are you??? Carol
