Kimi raikonnen has suffered an electrical fault and Montoya is saying they should change his engine. He is losing 7kp/h down the straight and says that he is looking at 10th - 12th over a single lap.

Is it going to be another hopeless year for Mclaren on the reliability front.

heres hoping :P

Kimi's loom caught fire, D'oh! He's all sorted now though.

Although I reckon JP's reduced top speed compared to Kimi is not due to an engine problem, just he's been eating a few more pies

I'm hoping for a Montoya/Raikkonen coming together on the last lap when they are running 1st and 2nd, a couple of engine blow ups instead would be nearly as good. Liuzzi on the podium would make the day complete.

Suspension failure for Raikonnen - looks like they're going to be as consistent as last year...

Raikonnen has got to be the unluckiest driver in F1 I have been rooting for the man for years. It is such a shame as he is one of the most talented drivers out there.

It must be heartbreaking for him, not to mention the whole team.

Juan "Oh go on then, just one more scotch egg" Montoya. I'd love to see a Ginsters sticker on his crash helmet. Or maybe Pukka Pies.
