San Marino Grand Prix Analysis

An uneventful Grand Prix, in my opinion. No matter where Fernando Alonso was on the grid, it was always going to be a battle between him and Michael Schumacher.

It was the opposite of last year, when Schumacher was the one chasing Alonso. The Renault driver tried to overtake the Ferrari during the last third of the race but, Imola being a very difficult place to overtake, had to 'settle' for second place.

The McLarens raced under the radar but pulled in 3rd and 5th place by Montoya and Raikonnen, respectively. Massa in the other Ferrari was sandwiched between them and also drove a pretty respectable race. Webber was a nice surprise, driving consistently to sixth place.

Another disappointment for Jenson Button, taking only seventh after a mistake in the pits cost him precious seconds and a possible podium finish. Too bad, as it seemed that he had the pace to match Schumacher and Alonso. Fisichella rounded out the points positions with 8th place.

Next stop... Nurburgring!
