Man that sucks you cant see it live well atleast it's San Marino and not Monaco or Monza.

Well I'm actually hoping for a Schumi win for the first time in my life, i put a few quid on him winning the race on friday after first practice at 3/1 (theyve since shortened the odds to 10/11) Im amazed, i havent heard or seen anyone say he running light! I think every time schumy has qualified on pole in a qualifying session that has to have race fuel i see loads of people saying "he's running light" only to be proved wrong.

Also no engine changes for the first time in a while :o

EDIT: managed to find a web page questioning schumi's fuel load

Brundle said he is probably on a 3-stopper, didn't he?

I'm expecting a Nurburgring '04 strategy from Schumi, and I think he'll pull it off. There'll be a shunt on the run to T1 too, Fisi's fault.

I've actually done well betting on F1 (GridBids is going okay for me too this year) but yeah I have some money on Michael too. Ferrari track, Bridgestone track and Ferrari's slight resurgence made him a fair bet. I have Jenson to come in the top 3 as well.

Why blame Fisi when Ide is in the field? :neutral:
You hoped it was gone for good. You're wrong.

Dont think i've seen anyone get within several car lengths of the car infront. Imola is teh suck! *hopes the next half of the race proves me wrong* Damn Button in the pits.

I wonder how JPM will be bashed for beating Kimi this time.

Did anyone see how much (or little) fuel Alonso put in at his stop? He's flying now :?

Has anyone actually made a genuine pass yet? I see at least 3 bottlenecks with top drivers inable to pass substantially slower cars...

Is Schumacher having some sort of engine problem? His pace is totally gone...

This last 20 laps will be fun to watch.

Brundle/Allan are having an off day. I can't believe James Allan just called Pat Symonds a tactical genius at the moment when Symands probably made the greatest mistake of his career by bringing Alonso in on that lap. I hope FA was on fumes otherwise there was now way he should have been brought in before the Ferrari. Genius? Ha. Idiot!

Now Alonso will have to do something he wasn't brought up to do; pass on the track. Game on.

Looks like Button should've have taken the points in Aus then :D

Webbers having a stellar race, he should really be in that Massa/Kimi battle but he had 3 laps in the 1:30 range, lost about 15 seconds...problem seems to have cleared itself though *touches wood*

Great for MS win despite all the problems with tyres! He desearved this weekend to finish this way.

Ide is a mobile chicane... please, get the 107% rule back. He's a danger to other drivers.
