Watched the channel ten coverage too......what an awesome race....was jumping around (in silence) in the living room punching the air.....this has been a LOOOONG time in the making!

[McChook]

I watched it in bits

So happy to see a Honda back on the podium. Been a long time, very happy.

DAMN IT! if Sato's car adnt caught fire he would have scored points for the constructors too!

WOW, Jensen got 3rd?
Why don't we have a big fukin party for the wanker? :roll:

I am disappointed in the Jaguar car, I read on there webpage that Mark was having doubts about its ability for the start just before the race started... :x

I love the comments from Mark about Ralf...
"Maybe he was just pissed off that i passed him" pure gold

There was a few positives about this race:

1/ Watching Alonso at the beginning
2/ Michael Winning
3/ Montoya and Michael semi battle
4/ Sato's car blowing up!
5/ Dave Richards & Honda making a nice reliable fast car

I hope Kimi gets a more reliable car in the near future..
Also hope Qualifying changes!


P.S. If your wondering, I am not a fan on Jensen at all...
Also, i think 3 other drivers could of been in Sato's seat (but motorsport is about money)

[McChook]

Honda are always keen on having a Japanese driver...

I also don't see how Michael winning is a positive. People are sick of it, and world telecast numbers are dropping. People are over him and Ferrari. He is now degrading the sport.

good on honda, apparently the move to just one chassis developer and spending more money on RnD has paid of for honda.

while i was watching the telecast, i noticed that the ferrari of schumachers engine reved to 18k rpms, phenominal as it may be, but when brought to buttons car, he was goig to 19.5k rpms. backed up byt what the commentators were saying.

Doe the BAR honda engines rev higher than the ferraris?

[McChook]

The Honda mostly only revs to 18,300 or so, and 19 for spirts, but not long. The Renault revs about the same.
