Best F1 race I've seen in many many years. I don't want to say much, but it was nice seeing such an equalizer and seeing drivers drive and different skills/abilities stand out.
That was awesome! I'm glad I caught it.

Rather than constantly changing the rules to lower costs, create parity, etc., maybe the FIA should just mandate sprinkler systems be added to every track. Every few laps they could be turned off and on. The racing would be incredible.

Thanks John, and I agree "great race"
It did surprise us...........over and over again.........and the outcome was Not what we expected.......again and again
However, THIS race is why we watch Formula 1.

Weird race..
All they have to do is invert the field and wet down the track. 
F1 has to look no further than GP2 for answers. Less aero is the key. Champ Car is definitely on the right path with their new car for '07. I don't know how they'd implement something like this though with F1 because it's not a spec series.
Schumacher was greedy and foolish today for throwing away five championship points in the closing laps. There was no need to fight with Heidfeld for one championship point. He's just lucky that Kubica was penalized for being under weight. He managed to pick up a point after all, so he's now down ten points from Alonso.

I told Edith MS would not finish the race after Alonso broke but I figured it would be a tire that went. He was stupid to do what he did, Then he cut the corner twice also which was nuts.

What eventually put his car out? It didn't look like that bad of contact.
I couldn't believe it when Alonso fell out with a dang wheel nut... I was so mad... then Shumi retires with 2 laps... unreal.

By far the best F1 race I have ever seen. Both of the Championship contenders out in the final moments, JB getting his long deserved win, and all the action you would expect to see everytime you watch F1. That wreck w/Raikkonen & Liuzzi was awsome!!!
Im with the rest of ya, put the sprinklers on for the first half of the race and invert the field. Now that was some good S*^T....
