Didn't think we'd take the battle for 4th into the final race but there we go. Fingers crossed we can finish with both cars there.

Jordan

Sigh.

Stunning performance from Ralf on that conditions! A little pity that Pizzonia hadn't enough pace today to score some points but anyway what a way to end season.

Ferrari

Congratulations to Räikkönen for winning the drivers’ title. He’s been the most consistent of the two championship contenders, so we have to admit he deserved it. All hope is not lost, as we are still in the fight for the constructors’ title.

Minardi

Not a result to be proud of, but at least one of the cars made it to the end.

McLaren

Well that was awful. Nothing more to add.

Well, Button is showing a little bit more pace lately, bu I am unwilling to pay 20M again for nothing.

Just a heads up. The final race will likely be moved to next week. I'll try to fit it in this week but no guarantees. Sorry for the inconveniance.

A superb effort from Vitaly!

Great job by the drivers.

Jops from F1Gamers?

Lol yes, I used to love these types of games when they were run there and then the site just died, how many years ago was that...

The Sauber team isn't really happy about both its cars starting behind the Minardis, but they are hoping for a good race.

Hello there, I would like to participate in the league if possible

Fingers crossed this continues too!

Definitely. If Syvis doesn't want to I'm happy to do it but I'm sure he will
