After Kimi blew up the Mecedes A-Spec engine in France, they put the B-Spec engine in for the race, and Ron Dennis wasn't happy because I think he knew this would happen :(
This is what makes F1 stupid, the rules.
You have a close championship and the two main contenders could of been 1-2 and could of had a fantastic race/battle.
But Mr Mosley has to make a stupid 2 race engine rule and not allow this to happen.
So if Alonso wins it this year by a win in over 70% of the championship are they going to change the rules again?

ahahaha
MONTY IS TOO QUICK !! WOOO FINALLY !
ahahah juan juan a race!......
trulli trulli trulli...
it escapes me how he can be so fast in qualifying .. but not have the pace in his first stint... fkn held up ppl again (kimi!)... woulda maybe been lookin at a mclaren 1 2 if it wasnt for that...
pretty dissapointing that Button couldnt keep up with the front runners... but i guess it was expected.... n bl to Sato (still no points =/).. woulda finished somewhere in the middle of the points...
n wot bout ferarri... wots goin on with them lolz?

Juan juan well. Well done Juan.
He deserved something to go his way! Finally it has. Some desperado stuff into the second corner!! Two ballsy moves.
Bloody Trulli holding everyone up!! Why is the Toyota so bloody slow? And if you thought the Toyotas were slow... how about the Williams'?! Haha, both Williams' were holding up the Red Bulls and Saubers! Oh dear, next Minardi will be in the queue waving their fists at the Williams slugs for holding them up.
Kimi Raikkonen, well what more can be said about Kimi Raikkonen? In a year where he should be challenging for the championship, the whole package is good, but the man has the worst luck. And the sun is shining on Alonso this year, 'cos the Renaults are having plenty of problems, but all their problems are happening to Fisi's car!!
Sato is ANOTHER driver who has walked under a few ladders on his way to the 2005 season. What's he got to do to sit in a car which will be strong for an entire race?
Ferrari is still middle of the road. Haven't got the pace to get on the podium, but quick enough to play with BAR and Toyota. It's Ferrari, they HAVE to pull something out and be back at the front else this isn't F1. But I'm starting to doubt that it's going to happen now. Maybe they wont find a good car, setup and tyre combination. Maybe the Ferrari reign is finally over? Nah... can't be. They'll be back, just like Williams will.
Another very entertaining race again despite the lack of overtaking. I do hope they sort out the overtaking problem though, 'cos it would be really good to see some closer racing. Too often it becomes a precession of cars 1s apart.
OH, OH, OH.... The Tipping! We were all SO close to getting HEAPS of points. But I think the best tipster got only 2 points.

man... Sato situation is worst.
at the moment he is the only F1 driver that hasnt scored any point. and in British GP he accidentally pressed wrong button that caused his car to stop before the race began.. :( so unprofessional..
At this rate BAR probably reconsider to extend his contract. (since it will end this year)
He better win the next GP lol...

Sato has a lot of friends at honda, being in japan, so don't expect him to be ousted soon. Button is definately outta there at the end of the year, but not to williams, prolly ferrrari. Which means that rubes is looking for a drive. Williams? BAR? Intersting prospects.
Fecking trulli though man he needed to be blue flagged. But it was good to see juan get his first podium, he hasnt had the best run of luck this season either. But kimi needs a race from the front. Cant keep giving away 2 points every race. Needs to start gaining three. Couple of mclaren 1-2's would sort him out ;)

the ferarri rumor is bs...
when Barrachello was asked about the rumor .. his words: "its bull shit"
Rubens has the end of 2006 before his contract finishes with ferarri...

I read it on f1.com and Jenson was asked about it. He refused to rule it out when pressed.

What a race!
Juan, Alonso, Fisichella, Kimi and Button had such a great race.
What about the back pack?
Sauber, Williams-BMW and Red Bull was such a good scrap to watch.
First corner was fantastic to watch and shows how talented these guys are!
Trulli has always had the reputation to be quick in qualifying and slow in the race, even at Renault.
Tyres held up rather well with everyone I thought, Ferrari 3 stopping with Rubens? :confused:
I think Ferrari are finished this season, and are looking forward to 2006. (as much as is hurts to say)
Watch Juan as Neil said, soon to be 1-2 McLaren or 1-3 or 2-3 with Kimi and Juan giving them some points.
I can't see Alonso having a trouble free peroid for the rest of the season.
Poor Sato, I was actually hoping to see him race from his grid position, poor bloke.
As for Rubens out of Ferrari in 2006?
I highly doubt it aswell.
Tipping competition has been updated ;)
bit off topic.. but yer...

(GMM) Rubens Barrichello (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/driver/3/Rubens-Barrichello/view.html) has slammed an impish rumour linking BAR's Jenson Button (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/driver/15/Jenson-Button/view.html) with his '06 seat.
The six-year Ferrari (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/team/2/Ferrari/view.html) veteran, with another season yet to run despite whispers of Maranello malcontent, called the story 'bulls--t' in The Sun.
The 33-year-old from Sao Paulo added: ''There is no way Jenson will be taking my place.''

http://formula-1.updatesport.com/newsphotos/july/a/jbut080703.jpg
(GMM) BAR, Williams (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/team/4/Williams/view.html), and maybe even Ferrari (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/team/2/Ferrari/view.html).
What the F1 trio have in common is a purported desire to put England's Jenson Button (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/driver/15/Jenson-Button/view.html) in their 2006 challenger.
The 25-year-old, though, dismissed any suggestion that the team in red is the dream drive.
''If they are sixth or seventh best there is no reason to be with them,'' he said, ''except a nice company car.
''But I want to be with the best team.''
Arguably, the best bet for JB is to stay at BAR, part owned by Honda and perhaps the more likely to charge for title glory.
Team principal Nick Fry, although insisting BAR would win 'without or without' the Briton, vowed to 'convince' Button to keep the faith. ''Williams (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/team/4/Williams/view.html) don't seem to have a confirmed engine,'' he quipped.
What Sir Frank Williams (http://formula-1.updatesport.com/profiles/item/formula_one/team/4/Williams/view.html) does have, though, is probably the most binding contract for 2006.
Jenson, though, made it clear what he's looking for. Money? ''We all earn money,'' he said. ''We all need it.
''But I'd rather have a competitive car. I don't think I would get bored with that.''

Good job from Kimi, that was once again outstanding. Juan put up a fight and did great. Great round for Mclaren:thumbsup:

I thought Button wanted to move to william because of better chance to win a GP/champion ship.
if Button happen to move to William it will be a suicide for him.
But replacing button with old guy Barichello is worse.
I used to like Button in BAR team, but as time moves, Im beginning to dislike him.. He is becoming a slut.. yuck..
However..i think BAR needs him to win.

what a boring race, i just watched it
trulli holding people up
alonso still scrapping for it as usual
good to see JPM get the win, he must think - 'about time!'
couldn't stand the parochial brit bias from the commentators for button
oh well..........

f1 is getting less interesting becoz michael isnt winning :( and neither is kimi :( and the pack of pit stops/tyre changes (resulting in driver been more cautious with tyres etc..) and fuking jarno trulli been shit and holing up everyone so a couple of people can scamper away at the front and the rest get boxed in (ban trulli i say) fuk i hate that kent

Ways to fix f1
1) Piss off that one engine rule
2) Lower downforce levels
3) Bring back at least one tyre change per race
4) Make jarno trulli start at the back. Jesus.
imo the one engine rule is good...
pushes the manufacturers technology.. and in turn benefits us... the end user...
lolz @ #4

"1) Piss off that one engine rule". Yeah, give them 4 engines... one per wheel!!
#4 is right on the money. I'm sick of Trulli buggering the race for everyone else. If you can't take the pace, pull over. There should be a blue flag for slow cars ON the lead lap.

If they fixed the downforce they would be able to sit behind him and pass him easily. I dont think they should be penalised for blowing up an engine. If you blow up during a race its punishment enough.

well he got skill to prevent ppl to overtake him. obviously cars/drivers behind him are not quick or skilled enough to overtake him.

No, its because of the cars reliance on downforce. They have so much downforce when they get into a cars dirty air instead of the slipstreaming effect u get in non downforce oriented cars u get an unsettling of the car, less braking time. Effectively the closer you get the less u can brake, the less chance u have of passing. You cant even stay on their tail through the corner to out accelerate them onto the next straight.
