I don't mind Raikkonen being 12 seconds faster per lap..., but seriously, I think option 2 would be better as lots of the smaller teams, mine included, have a big chance to get some points in race with the original qualifying results.

Below both Minardi's. We are @#$%&
European Grand Prix Race Day
Hello and welcome to the 7th round of the 2004 Formula season. Current championship leader Rubens Barrichello starts the race from pole position whilst his nearest championship rivals were caught out by the weather in yesterdays qualifying session. He will be aiming to extend his championship as the five lights come on...
And we're away and the cars charge down to turn 1
But Heidfeld has snuck his way past Barrichello in turn 1, the German now leads in his home grand prix
Barrichello meanwhile holds off a challenge from Raikkonen for his 2nd place
Unsurprisingly Heidfeld sets the fastest lap
Da Matta has made significant progress from 21st and is in 17th behind De la Rosa
And in fact he gets better traction out of turn 1 to take the position
Wait whats this? Barrichello has pulled off the track...
...and the championship leader is out of the race!!! A suspension failure spells the end for Barrichello
Meanwhile Villenueve has gotten past Raikkonen for what is now second place
Meanwhile his team mate is battling with the Schumacher brothers for 10th
But Ralf holds them both off for now
Now with a few laps down here are the current standings
Wilson is still holding position in 5th place
Meanwhile Montoya is under pressure from Fisichella in the Renault
De la Rosa is the first man to spin off the track as he loses it in turn 11
He rejoins last
Glock is challenging Button for 16th
But the Brition shuts to door
Only to open it again after going wide on the entrance to the back straight
And he tangles with Takuma as Glock slides into 16th
Meanwhile Coulthard helps himself to Satos position on the exit of the chicane
Verstappen is under pressure from Da Matta going into turn 1
But the Toyota driver sails past the Dutchman
Montoya is now up to 6th ad is taking chunks of time out of Wilson
Up front it is still Heidfeld in the lead
Whilst McNish is having a look at Lotterer
And he outbreaks the German to take 12th place
His teammate is currently sitting pretty in 4th place
Lotterer goes wide on the exit of the chicane
And Da Matta and Verstappen take advantage of the error
Trulli is having a look at Coulthard with Button just ahead
But the Italian outbreaks the two of them down into turn 1
A very gutsy move there but it paid off for Jarno
Schumacher is now up into 9th behind Davidson
But his brother is off the road at turn 6
And he is lucky not to collect Verstappen
That error drops him right to the back of the field
Da Matta is battling with Alonso for 11th
And he outbreaks the Spaniard into turn 1
Unseen by the cameras Montoya is past both Wilson and Webber and is chasing down Raikkonen in 3rd
Meanwhile also unseen by the cameras Schumacher is past Davidson to take the final points position
Montoya is looking up the inside of Raikkonen
But the Fin, quite aggressively, slams the door shut
Villenueve kick starts the pitstop as he comes in from 2nd place
He's back out in 9th
Our leader is in the pitlane
As is Da Matta
Heidfeld is back out in 7th
Montoya is next in on the following lap
He is back out in 13th after a much quicker stop then pretty much everyone else
Schumacher is off the road again
And is again extremely lucky not to collect anyone
His brother is in the pits from 6th
Webber is our temporary leader as both he and Raikkonen are yet to pit
But Raikkonen peels off into the pitlane
Heidfeld is struggling to get past Fisichella who is also yet to pit
Meanwhile Montoya has got the jump on Raikkonen
Wilson is now up into 2nd albeit yet to pit
As Webber does
Meaning Wilson now leads the race
Whilst Montoya also jumps Webber in the pitstops
But Heidfeld has regained the lead as Wilson pits
As Verstappen also pits
Now with the first round of stops over here are the current standings
Verstappen is determined to get past Fisichella and he makes contact whilst trying to outbreak him into the chicane
As do Lotterer and De la Rosa
And then Davidson also helps himself to his teammates position
Da Matta is very wide in the final corner
And is lucky not to hit the barrier
And he only loses one position
De la Rosa is in the pitlane, looks like he is the only driver 1 stopping
And Button has gone straight on at the chicane
And he retires after a transmission failure
Alonso is fighting with Davidson for 14th
And he slides past going into turn 11
Heidfeld is still out in front
But behind him Montoya is past Villenueve and is chasing down the German, can he hold the Williams driver off?
The two BARs are locked in battle over 18th place
Wilson is trying to hold off Verstappen's Ferrari
But the Ferrari gets better traction off turn 12 and takes the position
Montoya is back in the pitlane
As is Raikkonen
Montoya is back out in 5th
Verstappen is now fighting with McNish for 6th
And he makes the move stick
And McNish immediately pits
Villenueve is now into the pitlane
And Montoya holds position ahead of the Canadian
And our leader is in the pits
And he comes back out just ahead of Montoya, can he hold him off till the end
Schumacher has pitted and is back out in 7th
McNish outbreaks Wilson going into turn 1
Coulthard has had a very quite race and he currently sits in 16th place
Meanwhile upfront Heidfeld is actually pulling away from the Colombian
Whilst Schumacher is looking for some pride by challenging De la Rosa for 18th
And he gets the job done on the run down to turn 1
With just 14 laps to go here are the standings
From out of nowhere Schumacher pumps in the fastest lap of the race
Wilson is doing well in 9th place
Before being immediately overtaken by Da Matta
De la Rosa is now battling with Sato
Just 4 to go now and Heidfeld has built a slight gap back to Montoya, its just a matter of keeping it on the road now...
But he's now into the chicane for the final time...
Round the final corner...
and Nick Heidfeld is a winner in Formula 1!!!
Montoya holds onto second whilst Villenueve completes the podium
Full results to follow...

Minardi sign Christian Klien for 2005
Christian Klien's pace in Friday Free Practice sessions this season has seen him being offered a contract to race for the popular Italian minnows for the 2005 season. The deal completes Minardi's race driver lineup for next year, with them only needing a test driver. The deal is reported to be worth around £4m.
GP2 Star signs for McLaren
Current GP2 driver Nico Rosberg has secured a seat at McLaren for the 2005 season, completing an all German race driver lineup for next season. The move makes it seem very likely that both of McLarens current race driver lineup could be moving elsewhere and it is certain that at least one will be after the teams poor performance this season. It is rumoured that Arrows also put in an £8m to match the McLaren bid, but Rosberg felt that there was a larger potential for success at McLaren.

Sauber Statement
New Sauber boss Chris Copeman was ecstatic that Nick Hiedfeld had won the Nurburg Grand Prix and was quick to compliment the German, "Nick drove faultlessly today...I am so chuffed to have him on board for next season. We have a driver here that we can truly build a winning team around." Chris refused to be drawn on a team mate for Heidfeld for next year but said that the team were "still looking".
P.S. On that note, who do I send offers for drivers to?
