Correction; Hamilton resets fast lap, but he's still mired back in the field in P16.

All sectors back to green..........

Listening to Speed Channel's broadcast, analyst Steve Matchett commented that(paraphrasing), "Whatever strategies you had going into the race, you can throw 'em away." Gee, ya' think!! :shock: :shock:

Massa still leads, Alonso in 2nd, Raikkonen in 3rd.

Contact on the last corner; Schumacher's off.........it looks like his race is done; that car is beached!!

Watching the Speed broadcast, it looks like Heidfeld tried to take the corner and clipped Schumacher in the right-rear and spun Schumacher out.......


Sato out as well..........

Race control reporting they will be investigating the touch-up btwn. Heidfeld and Schumacher following the race. :shock: :shock: :shock:

23 laps in.....Massa still leads; both he and Hamilton have begun trading ast laps(first Hamilton, then Massa, then Hamilton..........you get the idea!)

8 drivers retires now--Sato, Schumacher, Winklehock, Button, Sutil, Rosberg, Speed and Liuzzi

One thing that teams don't have to worry about is using both of the various dry-weather compounds; since the teams used wet and intermediate tires, they have fulfilled that requirement and can now stick with one dry compound or the other................

Massa stretches his lead out from Alonso to almost 5 seconds

Here's an interesting thought.......Formula 1 races, IIRC, have a 2-hour time limit; will they complete all 60 laps or will we have a time-shortened race?

Massa up to over 6 seconds in front of Alonso

Top-8 at the moment are Massa, Alonso, Raikkonen, Webber, Wurz, Coulthard, Kubica and Heidfeld

Correction, Massa reset fast lap on lap 30, not 29(according to F1 timing/scoring)

Alonso sets his personal fast lap, but Massa resets fast lap..............and Raikkonen's very slow!! Could his race be over?

Hamilton and Trulli pit.........

And Raikkonen finally makes it to pitlane, and...ohh! they're pushing him off towards the garage; his race is done! :shock: :shock:
