barichello was fantastic at monza

[kart_ferrari]

well it was a great racing by ferraris no:2 driver who started pushing right from the start .he could have won eaisly in the ferraris home gp ,but the delay in pits cost him 2nd
well the battle between rubino and ralf was fantastic


finally montoya turned out be a winner with barichello just at the tail of williams

Barrichello certainly did race well. My own view is that he might well have won were it not for the miscue in the pits. I am happy to see Montoya get his first victory, but he did have some good luck.

...and if the race was 5 laps longer.

Now I understand why respected commentators speak well of Barichello.
Before he didn´t convince me , infact at times I even subscribed to the waste of good seat view-point. This weekend changed all that.

RB was impressive all weekend, as though maybe he had something to prove to the tifosi in Italy itself, because frankly, why hasn't he driven like that all season???

As for the race itself, he would have won indeed if it had not been for that screw up at the pitstop which cost him 8 seconds. How far was he behind at the finish? 5 seconds.

On such a fine thread does a grand prix win hang.

Rubens did an excellent race and should have won, but as F1 shows it's not neccesarily who deserves to win, but who encounters less problems.

[Minardi fan]

For the first time this season, RB impressed me. He impressed me a great deal. A superb drive, and a superb win denied by a fuel nozzle... grrrrr...

I agree f1manoz, Rubens did a great job all weekend,it certainly proves that he has the stuff to be a winner,he is great at passing and a really nice guy to boot..Why did he not drive like this all season? I have no clue!

It sounds like : "lack of motivation"...

While he has to play the role of the second driver and help the number one, he does it in a burocratic way.

But now, the team wants him to go for it, so...


[RB don't be a cry-baby, we all know the deal at Ferrari, excuses don't hide that, just make up your mind and go for it, money isn't all in this life !!!]

One golden point for you..., because, both drivers encountered problems.
Barrichello - Pits
Montoya - Lap 8 (when RB easily overpassed him)

1. Yesterday was a great race for #2 drivers
Montoya
Barrichello
De La Rosa
Three examples of that.

2. Both JPM and RB had problems yesterday but they fought. Now I realize that JPM said it was a problem braking with the back right tire the one that permited RB passing him.
Rubinho, great surprise for me. Finally, you told me you are a great driver, you finished second although the "nozzle affair".

3. Ralf... poor boy... Is there any rule saying that if you have stomach ache you cannot drive?
