Credit must be given to Alonso, great driving, and seems like he doesnt have to stop anymore... this might push him a couple of place in front.

Ferrari 1-2!
 Lewis still manage to get 3rd place so its not that bad for him. Just letting go 2 points to Massa and 4 points to Kimi.. if i am him, i would be satisfied. Alonso got tucked up behind Fisichella at the end of the race, sad for him  |

Stupid commentator, making more obvious mistakes
" Look at that Heidfeld coming out right infront of Alonso again " " Oh, that's actually SATO " " It must be very great for Kimi to win his first race this season" - Kimi already won the very first race of the season Added on July 1, 2007, 10:07 pmI can feel how frustrate Alonso is, blocked by Heidfeld and his previous teammate, not only that, he almost stalled during the first corner This post has been edited by karhoe: Jul 1 2007, 10:07 PM |

seriously, from the start seeing alonso following heidfeld's tail was amusing. aggresive driving from him but still can't get pass the bmw. until oen moment he manage to overtake heidfeld, but got the call to the pits.

shall we keep this thread clean, or we all together report to mods about these stupid morons arguing for no real reason and ban them for good?! This is the life ppl, accept it or walk away.... its real easy than wasting your time arguing with so-called facts of yours.
N congrats for Ferrari on 1-2 wins especially Kimi the Iceman returning for the title chase, and Lewis for consecutive 8th podium finish of the season to extend 13pts lead over Fernando. BMW again strong results with good drive from Nick holding off Fernando n smart pit stop strategy. |

QUOTE(verx @ Jul 1 2007, 09:55 PM) I thought he was too impatient...but i'm most disappointed with the strategy McLaren employed for him...I mean the guy finally overtook Heidfeld on track but still ended up behind him because he was pulled early and fuelled heavy. Alonso's mistake was probably he started on soft tires... and being tucked up behind Heidfield and Fisi for some time. |

Raikkonen and Ferrari firmly back in the title hunt
QUOTE Kimi Raikkonen, Felipe Massa and Ferrari routed McLaren in Magny-Cours in Sunday's French Grand Prix, finishing more than half a minute ahead of Lewis Hamilton's McLaren. The red cars opted for a two-stop strategy, Hamilton for three, but once the Englishman lagged off the dirty side of the grid at the start it was all over. Massa out-dragged him to the first corner, and so did Raikkonen. The Brazilian then led until his second stop, but a heavier fuel load allowed his Finnish team mate to run crucially longer and he emerged from his own stop three laps later with a lead he preserved to the end. It was his second victory of the season. Further back Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld grabbed another nine points for BMW Sauber with fourth and fifth places, the latter having some gripping duels with McLaren's Fernando Alonso. The world champion, who started tenth after his qualifying woes, was out of luck, finishing seventh (after a long second stop) behind Giancarlo Fisichella's hard-driven Renault, so his two points leave him now 14 adrift of Hamilton, who moved up to 64. Massa's second place leaves him third in the world championship on 47, but Raikkonen jumps closer with 42. In the constructors' fight, McLaren have 114 points to Ferrari's 89. The final point went to Jenson Button and Honda, who turned in a solid performance that confirmed that the RA107 has improved. It was the first point of the season for both. Behind them, Nico Rosberg had a pointless run to ninth for Williams, ahead of a lapped Ralf Schumacher in the Toyota, Honda's Rubens Barrichello, the Red Bulls of Mark Webber and David Coulthard, Alex Wurz in the Williams, Renault's Heikki Kovalainen, Takuma Sato in the Super Aguri and Adrian Sutil, who started from the pit lane after problems with his Spyker on the grid. The race went wrong for Vitantonio Liuzzi and Anthony Davidson in the second corner when the English Super Aguri driver savaged the Italian's Toro Rosso, while further round the lap Toyota's Jarno Trulli ruined his and Kovalainen's races by hitting the back of the Renault. Like Liuzzi and Davidson, he was a retirement. Scott Speed's Toro Rosso failed on him - a suspected problem with the team's new seamless-shift transmission - and Christijan Albers retired his Spyker after dramatically taking the refuelling rig with him when he left the pits after his second stop. The mechanic he dragged over in the process mercifully escaped serious injury. The result shows that the championship fight is far from over between Ferrari and McLaren, and after the red cars' speed in testing last week at Silverstone, Hamilton heads home with slightly less bright prospects of becoming the first rookie to win his national Grand Prix. http://www.formula1.com Hope for another one in Silverstone. |

this is a huge upgrade for Ferrari. Never though they could run heavier and still finish ahead of the McLarens...well in this case, McLaren. Definitely great work from Ferrari in just these two weeks.
