Fisichella finished 6th ahead of McLaren replacement de la Rosa. Nick Heidfeld of the BMW-Sauber team took the final point in 8th. This will not be a race for Honda to remember as Barrichello retired early on with engine failure, and Jenson Button wrapped up another nightmare Grand Prix with retirement only 9 laps from the end. Drivers' Championship - <a href="http://www.formula1.com/archive/driver/2006.html" target="_blank">http://www.formula1.com/archive/driver/2006.html</a> Michael Schumacher (79pts) closes the gap further on Fernando Alonso (96pts), now a 17pts difference, and Alonso need only to fail a race for the title chase to be truly on again. Constructors' Championship - <a href="http://www.formula1.com/archive/team/2006.html" target="_blank">http://www.formula1.com/archive/team/2006.html</a> Fisi’s relatively poor showing has impacted in Renault’s (142pts) lead over Ferrari (121pts). Full Story - <a href="http://www.formula1.com/race/news/4650/761.html" target="_blank">http://www.formula1.com/race/news/4650/761.html</a> In SupaLiga, little changes at the top with ‘Speedy Devils’ now on 292pts, ‘pipjack’ on 269pts. ‘Tom34’ (226pts) overtake ‘Wolfs bangers’ (222pts – 4th) for 3rd, while ‘IG Racing’ fall further behind, now level with the ‘F1 Aberdeen’ who rise sensationally from 8th to 5th, both with 211pts. ‘Burnin’ Rubber’ (206pts) also jettison up the table, moving from 9th to 7th, dropping in the process ‘Team Carros’ (195pts) and ‘Draconigen’ (194pts) to 8th and 9th respectively, ‘Team Oily’ (193pts) now only a further point behind in 10th. ‘bronking buckos’ and ‘GameboyUK’ are not far behind them, both rising to joint 11th on 190pts. ‘Honda/Williams’ (185pts) suffer a fall from 9th to 13th, only 2pts in front of ‘Jose`s Marinos’ (183pts) who maintain 14th place, as do my ‘Super25s’ (167pts) stay in 15th. The ‘hypotheticals’ (16th – 165pts) dig the knife in ‘Bussola’s dream team’ (17th – 150pts) again, and the ‘Smeg ups’ (146pts) remain stuck to the bottom of the league. NEXT GRAND PRIX...
