I honestly think it's been over for a month...but yeah, today put the rubber stamp on it. Constructors title is pretty close to being over as well.

Sigh...I've never seen a more snake bitten driver in my life. Kimi just seems numb to it now. Great drive by Montoya numbs some of McLaren's pain.

can someone recap it for me? missed it on the west coast

 

[Shinobi]

Same ole' story...Raikkonen's leading by plenty, when halfway through the race the car just gives up on him. Alonso goes by and cruises to victory. Montoya was easily the best driver on the day, starting at the back of the grid, passing three cars before the first turn and six or maybe eight cars on the first lap to earn second place. Button was third, Fisi fourth, Michael fifth.

Poor kimi. They seem intent on handind the WDC to Alonso on a Silver and Black, with a splash of red, platter. So many times this season kimi has retired while leading a GP. No wonder he doesn't stay at the track or give interviews when he retires anymore after he retires.

Boy, it's really disappointing that Alonso has such a huge lead in the points. If McLaren could put together any kind of reliability, it's clear that their car has more pace. It's nice to see BAR Honda getting competitive again, the more competitive teams the better...
