Today's race was interesting overtaking manoeuvres. From first row started Alonso from 1st place, second M.Schumacher. Rubens Barrichello started from 10 position. In 11 lap drive up M.Schumacher on fourth stop in boxes with pre-ignition c. 20 seconds before Alonso. Tactical reckonings, craftsmanship of mechanicians gives back M.Schumacher again on top with difference 4 seconds on second Alonso. It wasn't here already long time, when I'll search in memory, I don't know really similar situation. Cameras shot to Scuderia Ferrari control centre revealed, how Mr Jean Todt lay off and at the same time suspense of R.Browna at monitoring screen. Roughly from 8 lap fought about third place Rubens with Trulli. Finally wits again Michael Schumacher, second place engages Alonso. Incredible offensive in last sweep demonstrated Barrichello and exactly filches third place for Trulli and get this for yourself. Before thereby shot of cameras showed view of Jean Todt, which chuckled contentedly and didn't know it even, that Rubens will be third. Rubens Barrichello showed again heart of a great champion. Today Rubens deserved special medal. Race full of reversions to last moment.
