The race was a real proof that it doesn't have to rain to be exciting!

My heart was beating all the way to the finish line hoping that Alonso would keep Schumacher behind. The championship got all of a sudden alot more exciting

I watched half the race and then fell asleep (not of boredom, I was just tired)...

What happened to Kubica, he looked like he was racing for 6/7/8 spot?

Yep, I second that.

It's out of Schu's hands now. He can win the next four and Alonso finishes second and he still won't win the title.

Ferrari really screwed it up for their guy the past two races. Why did they leave Schu on inters in Hungary? Why did he have to queue up behind Massa? Ferrari should have sent Felipe around another lap or slowed him down so he would be the one in the queue.

Schu isn't helping himself with his frequent driving errors. He's on the decline.

Not to mention his decision trying to take pole in qualifying with unfresh tyres. He has done a few errors in a short period of time. His age is showing of but I think he's still good enough to compete. I definatly think he'll win at Monza.

Mclaren should start to put all resources into next year's car to convince Kimi to stay.. or else they'll go down the drain no doubt, alonso won't do the job..

The Finnish media says it's 100% sure that Kimi will be driving for Ferrari next year.

Terror in Turkey
Bombs tear through country

(GMM) Mere hours after the Turkish grand prix, staged about an hour's drive out of Istanbul, terrorist explosions ripped through the country.

Only non life-threatening injuries were reported, but the bombs targeted the tourist centres of Marmaris as well as the capital, involving Turks and Britons, giving rise to speculation that the events were designed to coincide with the country's latest tourist-grabbing venture -- formula one.

The bombs in Istanbul went off in rubbish bins, only hours after a manager of the 'Otodrom' F1 circuit, Bulent Ozerdim, said the race had been designed to 'promote Istanbul and Turkey as a brand, as a destination.'

Very nice yes. It bothers me that fast-autos.net has stopped with their F1 galleries. I loved them
