    Good race today have to say. Congrats to barrichello for a well deserved victory and kudos to shumacher who although i don't like at all you gotta respect a drive like that. i was holding out for a button victory but that hope ended up being smashed

    i look forward to the next race at the new circuit

    Yep, superb race (Ye never knew who was gonna win) & that's got to be the best 2nd place of Shumi's carear. I'm delighted for Rubens, I think he can take another 1 or 2 before the end of the season. I'm sure BAR won't complain either getting 3rd & 4th & jumping ahead of Renault in the constructors c'ship.

    I can't wait for tthe next race in the new Chinese circuit either, from what I heard the place is superb. :D

    Apparently, the Chinese race will be in Shanghai.

    Impressive race as was Belgain....rain and a good grand pix circuit make an excellent combo. Even with both ferrari making mistakes the competition can't match them. But at least it was close.

    I seen the first few laps, shumacher spinning out and then rubens droping back a "few" places after his pit, and was very surprised that rubens still made it to first and shumacher second. Was wondering how the hell he was going to win that race after the spin, he didn't but got close. And taught it was a pitty rubens droped back so far ater his pit stop, not that it mattered in the end.

    You know what I find funny - everyone is like 'congrats Rubens'; what a farce!!!! He didn't win that race, he was HANDED it. Let me be clear - I ABHOR Michael Schumacher as a driver & Ferrari too, but if the two boys were allowed to race I think you'd have seen SChumacher on the top step of the podium NOT Rubino... it is abundantly clear that the FIA have one rule for Ferrari & another for everyone else. that was BLATENT race fixing at it's best, & Rubino's celebrations only made it all the more insulting.

    Schumacher drove the pants off that car & I'll even go as far as saying it was a testment to the man's brilliance behind the wheel & the pure unadulterated brilliance of the Ferrari package as a whole & I can do nothing less than take my hat off & applaud such a BRILLIANT drive - but making them hold position when both championships are wrapped up so Rubino can be 'given a thank-you present' only devalues what F-1 is about; The best driver & the best car on the day winning - not being handed a win..... A SHAM!!!

    I don't begrudge Rubens some reward, but isn't the fact he gets paid a bucketload to drive at the pinacle of motorsport at the top team year in year out more than a good start?????

    Please tell me I'm wrong - you know well I'm not.....
