Yeah, poor old Monty

Go Kimi - I mean, Captain Happy

He deserves a win this week, despite his overly sunny and optimistic demeanour..

Good looking grid that. Very nice to see the Willies are up where they should be. Hope MW can keep his unforced errors to a bare minimum ..

The lap dancers in Germany must be good cause Kimi's on pole!

About time he got some luck though and had no issues in practice. As for Juan, well I was watching the live timing when he dropped it.

when was the last time MS didnt win in Germany ?

2003 Monty won for Williams. I assume Schumi won last year.

Yeah, last year was when Kimi lost his wing going into T1 one lap whilst closing on Schumi.

I want to smack Monty one. He has to get up there and take podiums from the Renaults if we are to have any chance of having a last race championship showdown. Alonso's got it too easy from here.

Well EK, Monty got up there and took the podium. Good stuff.

Albers in 12th after the first lap, finished 14th, kicked Jordan's arse. Good stuff.

But alas, Raikkonen's car lets hom down, again. Not good for the hopes of a close championshp battle.

Montoya's first lap was awesome. He actually used his head to get to second too. He stayed back and conserved fuel so he'd have a better chance to get round people during pit stops. Not the ideal way we'd like to see but since it's so hard to follow other cars (and apparently the McLaren wasn't so good in traffic) it was the smart way and got him those extra positions. Can only imagine how far in front he would have been if he'd started from the front row...

I'm pretty pissed off about Kimi's retirement. That all but seals the championship for Alonso.

Williams have yet another shocker... Reports are now that they'll get Cosworths for 1 year followed by Toyotas in 2007. They'd better get that chassis sorted because then.

Kimi should have won again! Its going to be hard to beat Alonso in the championship now. His car is second best to the Mclarens but at least it finishes
