China 2006

That was a truely interesting race though I didn't like it about half way through.

( results )

Yesterday went well for Jenson and today his start was really good. First Kimi got him, but when Kimi overtook Rubens he took that chance and made it past both of them though not for long. Then there was the problem with his rear wheel and even after the pit stop there seemed to be massive problems with the car (and/or the tyres). I almost expected that he had to give up completely. But they got a grip on that somehow and I was so happy when I saw him fight against Rubens again though he fought a bit to hard and as a result made a little mistake and lost on place on Pedro de la Rosa which was a little bit disappointing just because you rarely ever see something like that happen to Jenson. But the last lap... I loved it. Jensen overtook Pedro again and closed in on Rubens and in the chaos with Sato (?) who got overlapt, Heidfeld and Rubens and a slippery track from the starting rain he managed to overtake Rubens and Heidfeld in the second but last corner and luckyly was gone before Heidfeld spun after getting hit by Rubens. So he finished 4th and with the problems he had had during the race that wis a really satisfying result.

And 8th for Mark. Great to see him get at least one point this time. Did I ever mention how happy I am that Jenson didn't have to go to Williams. And I so hope Mark will have a better season with Red Bull next year.

But what is it with Alonso suddenly having so much bad luck. First he had these massive tyre problems and then the totally messed up pit stop. Luckily the championship is still open but today should have been an easy victory for Alonso. Can't he keep his good luck for the rest of this seaosn and have bad luck next year cause I really won't mind then. Gna! And I don't understand why Fisico gave in on Schumacher after his last pit stop. Under normal circumstances I'd say that was just fair and he tried to avoid a possible collision but this is about the championship so just take the risk, Fisi, he had much more to lose than you had. I still can hardly believe that I am upset about all this but I don't want MS to win the championship which just means: Alonso, I need you here!


I miss Juancho and Jacques. :(

Edit: Changed the results because Sato and Albers got penalised for ignoring blue flags.
