The real losers this week seem to be Toyota. I thought that Ralf was maybe unlucky to be one of the first out of qualifying on Saturday, maybe the Raikkonen incident spoilt his chances, but they were nowhere in the race today. Both Minardi/Toro Rossi cars finished in front of them! Considering the budget of the Toyota team, and last years improvements, there must be some dificult questions being asked just now.

I thought that too. I was impressed with some of the new boys - and the fact that a couple of the small teams were using "de-tuned" V10s helped the unpredictability factor. It was a bit like the days when you had turbos and normally aspirated cars in the same race.
