5 becomes 3 as Sato wins in America
Sato has won the American Grand Prix with a great drive and great pit work. He was third with the pit stops to come and managed to come out in first after the stops and never looked back.
The championship race lost 2 more contenders. Ralf Schumacher failed to win and finished 5th meaning he can't win the title. Montoya suffered the ultimate heartbreak. He was comfortably in the points when a puncture damaged his car and was forced to retire. He cannot win the title now.
Irvine was the first to retire with a water leak on lap 15. Montoya retired with a puncture on lap 31. BAR had an awful race. Villeneuve retired on lap 56 with an engine problem. Panis retired two laps later with a brake problem.
Sato took his second win of the season with a stunning drive. Frentzen took 2nd place to keep his championship challenge going. Fisichella was unlucky not to win and had to settle with 3rd. Raikkonen, Ralf Schumacher and Coulthard rounded out the top 6.

Great stuff, Grandprix! Nice to see you getting the Championship back together!
I've not been doing too well as Bernoldi recently - lots of bad positions on the grid and race finishes.
Still, not to worry, Bernoldi getting 18 points in a tournament is an achievement I'm proud of. :-)

Frentzen and Montoya in prime position in America
Frentzen's title challenge took a major step forward with pole position for the American Grand Prix. Montoya's push for the title also got a shot in the arm with second on the grid. It was a very close session with every car within 4 tenths of pole.
The battle for the title is hotting up. Frentzen, 6 points behind Panis, took pole and Montoya, 11 points behind, took second. Ralf Schumacher has it all to do. He must win this race to keep his challenge alive. He only managed 8th but has a chance. It was disaster for BAR as Villeneuve, 10 points behind Panis, managed 16th and the championship leader Panis could only manage 18th.

Minardi dominant in wet as Montoya edges closer
Mark Webber and Alex Yoong finished first and second respectively to give Minardi a 1-2 in a wet Italian Grand Prix. It was all too easy. The only competition Webber had was his teammate.
In the battle for the championship, Montoya was the only one of the top 5 to score points but could only manage 5th place and 2 points. Frentzen, Villenueve, Panis and Ralf Schumacher all failed to finish in the points.
It was a tough race with numerous drivers spinning. Trulli, Raikkonen, Massa, Barrichello, Panis, Heidfeld, Frentzen, Salo, Fisichella, Irvine, M Schumacher, Bernoldi and De La Rosa all spun at one point during the race.
Ralf Schumacher's hopes of winning the title took serious damage on lap 6 when he retired with electrical problems. Button's promising qualifying position was ruined on lap 16 with engine problems. Raikkonen's transmission failed on lap 23. Heidfeld's engine blew on lap 25. Trulli ended a dismal day when his transmission failed on lap 33.
Webber took his 2nd win of the season with a faultless drive. Yoong looked equally as faultless to take 2nd. Michael Schumacher did a solid job to finish 3rd. Salo, Montoya and Coulthard rounded out the top 6.

Webber's Minardi is the toast of Italy

In the race for the title, Panis is in the best position of the 5 with 7th place. Ralf Schumacher is close behind in 8th but has a lot to do to win the championship. Montoya is in 9th place and Frentzen is in 10th. It was another bad session for Villeneuve as he could only 20th and has a lot to do.

I think that Panis will get the championship. I am hoping for a top 3 finish overall. Still could come 1st as anything can happen.
Panis takes control in Belguim
Olivier Panis has won the Belgian Grand Prix and takes over at the top of the drivers championship. Panis got the jump on De La Rosa off the line and held off his challenge for the entire race to win.
It was a disasterous race for Jacques Villeneuve. He qualified 14th but crashed on lap 8, leading to a huge accident involving Trulli and Coulthard. Fisichella lost control on lap 9 and crashed into the barrier. Heidfeld was next out on lap 28 when he lost control and crashed. Michael Schumacher crashed out on lap 32. Bernoldi, Frentzen and Irvine all had close calls with the barrier but survived.
In the battle for the title, Panis leapt into a 6 point lead with the win. Frentzen failed to convert his decent qualifying position into points. Villeneuve crashed out on lap 8 and scored no points. Montoya finished 4th and is still in with a shout.
Panis was ran close all the way to the win. De La Rosa couldn't find a way round Panis and had to settle for second. Massa fought his way up to third and was close to taking second. Montoya, Webber and Yoong rounded out the top six.

Only 3 rounds left to go. With a maximum of 30 drivers points available and a possible 48 constructors points, only 10 drivers have a mathematical chance of winning the drivers title and only the top 4 teams in with a chance of the contructors title. What is left in store for the remainder of the season?
Olivier Panis has won the Belgian Grand Prix and takes over at the top of the drivers championship. Panis got the jump on De La Rosa off the line and held off his challenge for the entire race to win.
It was a disasterous race for Jacques Villeneuve. He qualified 14th but crashed on lap 8, leading to a huge accident involving Trulli and Coulthard. Fisichella lost control on lap 9 and crashed into the barrier. Heidfeld was next out on lap 28 when he lost control and crashed. Michael Schumacher crashed out on lap 32. Bernoldi, Frentzen and Irvine all had close calls with the barrier but survived.
In the battle for the title, Panis leapt into a 6 point lead with the win. Frentzen failed to convert his decent qualifying position into points. Villeneuve crashed out on lap 8 and scored no points. Montoya finished 4th and is still in with a shout.
Panis was ran close all the way to the win. De La Rosa couldn't find a way round Panis and had to settle for second. Massa fought his way up to third and was close to taking second. Montoya, Webber and Yoong rounded out the top six.
