Great race

[edit]

Best race in years. violet/riga (t) 14:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Too bad I'd just about given up on F1 and didn't watch it then (until a few minutes from the end when my dad said Button is leading). Sigh. --kingboyk 14:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

M.Schumacher

[edit]

It is a bit strange to see a car retire 3 laps from the finish (Michael Schumacher) and still score a point (after Kubica's DSQ) and that could be the difference in the between him and Fernando Alonso. Kingjamie 20:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem like a bit of an odd one; I thought you had to at least take the chequered flag to score points. Ah well. Kinitawowi 21:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't understand this either. Tuwile 00:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's because he was closer to the finish when he retired than the Midlands (9 and 10 place) were. They were three laps down by the end, but Schumi was 3 laps from the finish when he retired so he had completed that distance that the midlands couldn't complete for about another 4 or 5 minutes. If you complete a certain amount of the race distance (I think it's something like 90% or 95%), you are classified as a finisher. You don't have to cross the line to take the points. In most situations, you wouldn't be able to retire 3 laps from the end and take points, but that's how far ahead of the Midlands the rest of the pack was. 172.189.81.125 07:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone who completes 90% of the race is considered a finisher whether they actually finish or not. --Jsydave 22:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly: See article 159 of the F1 Sporting Regulations for reference. --Fred Bradstadt 07:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I feel sorry for poor old Tiago Monteiro finishing 9th under those circumstances. Kingjamie 10:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's not strange, but it has become rare in modern F1 due to higher level of reliability. Take a look at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. Prolog 07:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Klien

[edit]

I thought I heard the Speed guys say Klien was starting from the pits; was the true, why, etc.? --Golbez 09:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he did start from the pits. My little Finnish-English translation: "Because of car trouble I started from the pits, so I had to really drive on the limit in the race. Weather was really tough, as one couldn't really see anything on straights due to rain. I managed to overtake a few cars, but entered a curve at too a high speed. I drifted on the gravel and that was it." Prolog 18:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The reason was because Red Bull had to fix a fuel leak (or something) on his car, thus bringing that car out of Parc ferme conditions, meaning he had to start from pit-lane. Manipe 21:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
