I watched the race, it was great! Did you see Coulthard's run-off??/what the hell was that, it was like Alonso tried to run him off...

That was crazy! It was like Alonso's car just stopped!

I thought the whole Schumacher spin thing was nuts too... I can't believe he didn't stall it... those F1 motors have zero rotational enertia!

oh and check this article out from a few months back:

Montoya could lose drivers license
Le Muy, France (Sports Network) - On Monday, French police clocked Formula One driver Juan Montoya for driving his BMW at 204 k.p.h. (126 m.p.h.) in a 130 k.p.h. (81 m.p.h.) zone.

Police fined him 1,000 Euros ($1,155) on the spot and he was ordered to hand over his drivers license pending a judicial investigation. The Columbian could face a two-month suspension of his driving privileges in France.

The driving offense has no effect on his 2003 F1 championship standing as a regular drivers license is not a requirement for competing in a Formula One car.

When questioned, Montoya admit speeding, but said he was "well used to driving fast."
