Qualifying: Firman hits the front
Race: Alonso holds on in tight finish

It was perfect conditions for the European Grand Prix weekend as Firman came through to the front of the field and join an elite group on 5 career pole positions.

He was the only one to break into the 1 minute 14's, edging out a race winner already this season, Alonso. Verstappen was 3rd ahead of Button's B.A.R, which is in desperate need of points. Button is in a Minardi sandwich with Baumgartner in 5th. World Championship leader, Pizzonia, continues to put his car in the top 8 with 6th. De La Rosa starts 7th and Pantano completes the top 8.

Full Qualifying Results:

1st Firman (Notorious Biggles) 1m14.954s
2nd Alonso (Jules) 1m15.005s (+0.051s)
3rd Verstappen (Jae) 1m15.038s (+0.084s)
4th Button (Der Nazi) 1m15.090s (+0.136s)
5th Baumgartner (Grandprix) 1m15.142s (+0.188s)
6th Pizzonia (Icarus) 1m15.165s (+0.211s)
7th De La Rosa (Virtuoso) 1m15.165s (+0.211s)
8th Pantano (Chris) 1m15.195s (+0.241s)
9th M Schumacher (Vampyr) 1m15.198s (+0.244s)
10th Raikkonen (Ineedsleep) 1m15.216s (+0.262s)
11th Montoya (Afrojoe) 1m15.234s (+0.280s)
12th Salo (Biggie Little) 1m15.237s (+0.283s)
13th Villeneuve (Mike Swade) 1m15.239s (+0.285s)
14th Webber (Shelljed) 1m15.240s (+0.286s)
15th Heidfeld (Shadow) 1m15.241s (+0.287s)
16th R Schumacher (N/A) 1m15.247s (+0.293s)
17th Barrichello (Lipe) 1m15.255s (+0.301s)
18th Fisichella (Badgerman) 1m15.268s (+0.314s)
19th Klien (Figo) 1m15.320s (+0.366s)
20th Panis (Foreman) 1m15.324s (+0.370s)
21st Karthikeyan (Ortega) 1m15.363s (+0.409s)
22nd Sato (Poopots) 1m15.373s (+0.419s)

The race was go and Firman gets swamped at the start and loses the lead to Alonso and also 2nd place to Verstappen. Raikkonen spins early in the race on lap 2, losing valuable time and places. It's trouble for Barrichello as Heidfeld spins in front of him, both of them losing time on lap 3.

Verstappen was on less fuel at this point and he breezed past Alonso on lap 4 to take the lead and he began to pull away. Michael Schumacher hits De La Rosa trying to overtake and both spin on lap 5. Webber spins on lap 5 trying to take Salo and spends the next 9 laps trying to escape the gravel trap. He manages to do so, but his race is pretty much over and finishes the race classified as a 'Did Not Finish'.

Verstappen's two stop strategy was working perfectly until his engine cried 'Enough!' on lap 19. Verstappen's only victory was 2 years ago at the European Grand Prix but the amount of retirements from the lead has cost him dearly.

Heidfeld was the next to go when his car developed transmission problems on lap 21. Just around the corner, Raikkonen was to suffer the same fate as he retires with transmission problems on lap 21. Villeneuve was looking to break into the points but scuppered his chances with a spin on lap 24. Fisichella is having a poor weekend and compounds his misery with a spin on lap 27. Montoya sitting in the points ahead of Pizzonia now but under a bit of pressure, it's enough and Montoya spins on lap 31.

Barrichello wasn't having a great weekend and his race was over on lap 31 when his right rear wheel developed problems which forced him to retire. Panis took a stab at getting past Montoya but spins on lap 34. The race then hit a quiet patch as the 1 pit stop and 2 pit stop strategies played out, until Baumgartner retired on lap 59 with transmission problems to end Minardi's day, which looked like a big points haul at one stage.

So, into the final stages of the Grand Prix and Alonso had a slight lead but Button and Firman were catching quickly and were definitely going to catch him with a number of laps to go. With a few laps to go, Firman just couldn't maintain the pace, leaving it to Button to try and steal the win. Button was the faster car and was just trying to find a way through.

He couldn't do it, as Alonso just beat Button to the line to take his 2nd career win, which is his 2nd win in 3 races. Button takes 2nd and it's a finish he desperately needed. 3rd goes to Firman, which is 2 points finishes in a row. Ralf Schumacher takes 4th place and Klien continues a solid rookie season with 5th. Pantano completes a much needed B.A.R points haul with 6th. Karthikeyan gets his best SR F1 finish with 7th and Michael Schumacher takes the last points place for 8th.

PREDICTION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

6 predictors again so the scoring is 10 for a win, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 3 for 4th, 2 for 5th, 1 for 6th and 1 bonus point for the closest to the tie breaker. Here are the results:

1st Badgerman 10pts + 1pt (21pts - +0.025s) - THE CLOSEST
2nd Ineedsleep 6pts (14pts - +0.065s)
3rd Shadow 4pts (10pts - +0.218s)
4th Chris 3pts (7pts - +1.748s)
5th Icarus 2pts (7pts - +1.946s)
6th Jae 1pt (5pts - +0.069s)

The table now looks like this after Round 9:

1st Chris 55pts (3 wins)
2nd Shadow 49pts (2 wins)
3rd Ineedsleep 41pts (1 win)
4= Shelljed 37pts (1 win)
4= Badgerman 37pts (1 win)
6th Icarus 33pts
7th Jae 26pts (1 win)
8= Foreman 12pts
8= Jules 12pts
10th Biggie Little 8pts
11th Notorious Biggles 5pts

Just short of half distance in the season now and there is still no change in the 13 point lead that Pizzonia has over Montoya, although the field behind are bunching together in chase. Renault and Williams failed to score, so the gap remains 28 points but Williams are now in danger from Jordan and McLaren. Badgerman leaps into 4th into the Prediction Championship and Shadow nibbles at Chris' lead, which is now 6 points from 7.

The halfway race (Round 10) is in France. Points are getting more and more crucial as the rounds disappear. Here is the current driver lineup for the Predictions: [URL]http://www.freewebs.com/gpsr/srf1.htm[/URL]
