- As Räikkönen goes around the final corner headed for the pits he slips off and misses the pit entrance. It is possible that Ferrari told him to go around again, because A. they didn’t want to stack up Massawith only 1 pit stall, and B. he missed the chicane so they wanted to give him a “disadvantage” so the FIA wouldn’t penalize him for the error or the unfair “advantage”. Kimi’s Grandmother was there for the first time as well.
- Alonso doesn’t have the stacking problem because Hamilton is far enough behind, struggling to get to the pits with his puncture.
- Just about Everyone pits (It seems that 6 cars did not).
- The storm is just getting going, so the conditions are not bad enough for the teams to put on Full Wet tires and everyone elects to put on Intermediates.
- Hamilton gets a break with everyone pitting.
Lap 2
- At this point Markus Winkelhock has the only “correct” tires and storms through the rest of the field (being the 6 cars that stayed on track after lap 1). By the Dunlop curve of lap 2, Winkelhock even gets to, and passes Räikkönen for the lead, who is losing loads of time as the storm increases in intensity at an alarming rate.
