Heh, who cares. I didn't even pay attention. They red flagged it after a crash. So according to the rules, who ever was in lead 2 laps before the red flag won.

Both Ferraris didn't finish. Shumaccer(sp) spun out, and Barichello's car died. After that I stopped caring, then everyone start crashing, even during a yellow flag because they got hot headed.

:repost:

I am beginning to wonder what the hell Bernie Eccolstene (spelling???) is thinking. Didn't anyone learn a lesson from Surfer's paradise last year? That race should have been postponed and yet they decided to have it, if you were lucky then you won. Michael was hauling until he spun, Rubens had a comfortable lead until his car died.

Makes me wonder if F1 is gonna go down the drain.

Nawh, everyone needs to just stop using there old cars and bring out the real guns. I think after this, Ferrari will be announcing the official release date for the new car and Mclaren not to far after.

New cars are always unveiled in the European GP. If you look back the F2001 kicked ass in 2002 and the F2002 was even better. I just think these new rules are hurting Ferrari.

i recall reading recently that the head ferrari test drive, whose name is currently eluding me, has folded up two of the new cars already, one was claimed by driver error, another with a wheel or suspension problem.

if i'm not mistaken it was written as a margin blurb in the yellow side bars of the autoweek motorsports section a few weeks back.
