McLaren Attacks.
The interesting thing about the team is that its 40 points have been gained by 4 different drivers. Räikkönen, Montoya and both test pilots. That proves that the team is able to prepare all cars to a high standard. Räikkönen couldn't take full advantage of the first pole position in Imola due to a car breakdown. His time came after the second pole in Barcelona. He shot away from the start like a cannonball and gained 25s advantage before the first pit which was enough to return in the leading position before both Renaults, Alonso's and Fisichella's. Of course, the Spanish fans wished victory to their precious Alonso. However, he was left behind.
Both Minardi cars - Friesacher and Albers stayed immobile on the grid. They started from the pits two laps later but did not see the finish anyway. Michael Schumacher draw attention to him again, getting from the 8th to the 3rd place before his pitstop. His left rear tire gave in though and he retired again, third time this year. Barrichello came 9th, without points and Ferrari's situation seems to be questionable.Kimi Räikkönen reached an unrivalled victory finally after the last years' bad luck. He leapt to the 3rd place in classification behind Alonso and Trulli. This years' season seems to be getting hot after several monotonous ones.
