As raw as it gets..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQg28g-oPB8...feature=related

It was an action packed race of attrition at the rain soaked Brazilian grand prix at Interlagos. The race had to be started behind the safety car because of the wet conditions. Barichello gave up his pole position even before he made it to the first corner. He looked very uncomfortable and seemed to be tip-toeing through the turns. Ralph Firman's Jordan suffered a suspension failure as he braked for a turn, the entire right front wheel coming off.. sending his car ploughing into the back of Olivier Panis' BAR. Turn 3 was to claim many victims because of a "river" running across that particular section of the track. Montoya and Pizzonia crashed out within moments of each other to be followed later by M.Schumacher,Verstappen and Jenson Button. Mark Webber almost became the 6th victim but managed to recover his car brilliantly and continue with the race. He was however to crash spectacularly on the final turn in what was to be the last lap of the race. He came to rest alongside the barrier with only one wheel remaining and left debris strewn across the track. Fisichella who was the race leader having just overtaken Raikkonen managed to make it safely through the carnage but Alonso running in 3rd place wasn't so lucky. He charged straight into one of the Jaguar's wheels lying in the middle of the track and had a horrific crash. Still he managed to limp out of his car before he was taken away in an ambulance. So, the final standings based on a countback to lap 53 before the race was redflagged on lap 55 had Kimi Raikkonen once again finishing first, pipping Jordan's Fisichella to a win. Alonso was 3rd but was absent from the podium due to his accident. Home favourite Rubens Barichello suffered a heart breaking loss of his lead in the second half of the race after his Ferrari gave up on him again. Can't wait for the San Marino GP!
