Congrats to Button for 4th.

Michael Schumacher first, brother Ralf second and Rubens gets third.

WTF is wrong with Sato? Why is it only his engine that blows?

He should start testing and Anthony Davidson should be the #2 driver.

It could be a lot of things put together. They are using a new generation engine in this race and Sato pushes very hard, probably too hard for the car to handle. In pre season testing they had numerous issues with their engines. Also if you remember Sato did not take part in Practice 3 because of some technical issues, I am wondering if his engine had something to do with that.

Cool my three favorite drivers finished in the top three, that's just awesome. We all knew Schumacher was going to get first, I mean c'mon. I'm a Ferrari man so of course I'm going to like Schumacher and Barichello. It's about time Ralphy gets on the stand.

I saw that too :irock: like the comentator said it would be hella hard to remember what to do with all the pressure they have. Did you see when one of the mechanics from (unknown racer) prematurely signaled the driver to go and caused him to run over the fuel guy :lmfao:

Holy drama in post-inspections. It would appear that Williams and Toyota's results have been disqualified due to irregularities in their brake ducting.

Button has been promoted to a third-place finish. We'll have more information tomorrow in our own post-race article.
