Simple twist of fate

It was at Indy 2005 and Monaco 2005 where Michael passed Rubens in a "memorable" way that caused Rubens to leave his Ferrari contract early. What hath fate wrought?

Lets see if Michael tries any of those passes on Rubens now! I think not! Rubens might just have the widest car out there... except for Fisi's car. Lets see!

On top of that, Rubens had a fontune cookie that read..... "A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn." --- Hmmm.....

Not today. If Renault's pits hadn't messed up magnificently, he could have put Alonso on a shooting opportunity.

For me, Fisichella drives in the same team that a lucky genius. I wouldn't do it better. I also doubt very much that any other pilot on the grid would look better than Giancarlo, side by side with Alonso and Schumacher.

Ha ha.. I can't believe he didn't just hold his line on that corner... he turned out even to give Michael room... I would have been certain, in his shoes, that it would be better to have a little coming together than let him past so easily.

The thing about the race I was impressed with though, was Alonso's pace in the wet AND dry. He was lapping so darn quick near the end.

It's probably because he -couldn't- ? :) Everyone had it difficult on turn 1, add to that a new, cold set of tires, and dry tyres to boot. If he had stayed inside he would've had to go so slow to stay there, that Michael just would've went around on the outside anyway.

A good example was Kubica when he put on the drys.. he massively stuggled on that first turn like Fisi... I still believed that Fisi did a good job.

Rob, did you see the race? I mean a lap before Fisi went off the line?

"Ha ha.. I can't believe Schumi didn't just hold his line on that corner..."

If he did, Fisi might not have had a line to hold on that corner in the first place.
