Isn't Narain driving with new car in this race? If so, whats wrong with him, he is last!

the reason Jordan were slow in Qualifying is because they were running fully on Wet Set up.

I thought Ralf would have won it if hadnt changed his tyres !!

@joystick

Tiago has been performing quite well fr Jordan in his 1st yr itself. He has finished all the races (no Ret.) and has achieved some good results.

I haven't watched the race, but what happened to Narain? He is driving new car right? Though initially he has shown some promise by finishing better than Tiago as the year progressed was dissapointing

How come no one's discussed Narain's "overtaking" of Villeneuve - awesome!

YEs I was also expecting someone pointed out that maneuver ... It was interesting/funny to watch that ... And Narain take 'grass route' to finish it off ...

Even commentrator were cheering for Narain and asking him to control the car when he came back on track ... But Tiago again captured points with 8th finish ... Thats really remarkable ... Narain needs to improve his performance.
