    I think the moral winner was Kimi who was punished for being 1.1 seconds too fast in the pit lane.

    Lo all
    Kimi was actually punished for being 1.1 km per hour over the speed limit during the first 10 meters of the pit lane,
    its was a shame as he held his line lovely into turn 1 forcing gitmacher onto the grass during the race

    Anyway it's been the best race for a while.

    on the day Kimi should of won great race for him im sure will see more of him this year
    Montoya well as usual made of balls of it wether it was his fault or not
    Coulthard well not convinced by this guy yet last win for him was last may
    Michael Schitmacher well for me he is top man
    but he's gonna have to fight big time this year

    shame for Rubens wanted him for championship this year
    just to give my top man Michael Schitmacher a rest

    and Ralf Schumacher got flea fu#ked by the pit team once again
    well just some of my thoughts

    I think Jim Rosenthal said it for us all when he said:

    "Well a rare sight of no Michael Schumacher on the podium, if thats what the new rules bring, then thats good enough for us!"

    No bias there eh?
