I certainly hope there's not another race like this though... that was just chaotic. Anyway.... Barichello has the worst luck in his home race... geez... hope Alonso is ok... F2003GA next race... 😀
 
Looks like Ferrari dominance is looking less and less so...

I guess it wasn't the old chassis or engines that were keeping the other manufacturers from being competitive, but rather it was the tires. (Kimi and DC's MB/McLarens are winning over the previous season's Ferraris)

It's insane how many cars went off... man, watching the replay of the Jag blow off three corners and then Alfonzo being unlucky, hitting that tire and ripping the right side of the car apart :Q:Q:Q
 
I was more impressed by the disintegration of Firman's car (front-right suspension)! And the 5 consecutive crashes.

I thought the race was interesting, certainly the 1-wet-tire rule played into the havoc. I was furious to see Montoya go off again, I thought Pizzonia had caused it again, but unfortunately Montoya just lost it like everyone else did. An unfortunate result for Giancarlo Fisichella, that race was definitely his to win. It looks like his strategy just worked out, too, because they're not sure if he had fuel to go any farther or if he would've had to come in and pit. Incidentally, there is now new data under review, and Fisi may well win the race. It is thought that he actually had crossed the finish line again, and would actually have had the lead for 2 laps. There will be a meeting on the 10th in Paris to review all data.
 
Fisichella wins!!

FIA decided that he was entering the 56th lap and not the 55th, so it should have been considered the 54th as the final lap, when Fisichella was ahead.
