And even more amazing it was that he actually scored a point so he can finally say he's in the game!

Well, I'd hardly call 1 point 'in the game' but both cars finishing (especially after the qualifying problems) should give everyone at Maclaren a glimmer of hope...
Though, I think it was the first time I've ever seen Kimi

But that's a bit late for this season! I think there's no way for Kimi to win this anymore!

Of course Kimi can still win...
All we have to do is pour a few spoons of sugar into the Ferraris fuel before each race

Actually they would need a few kilograms of sugar to make sure neither Ferrari, nor BMW Williams or BAR get enough sugar

Got sent this today.....
The Ferrari Formula 1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British Government's "Work for the Dole" scheme and employ the Welsh.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Townhill were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, where as Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high tech equipment.
It was thought to be an excellent, yet bold move, by the Ferrari management. As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage over every team.
However....
Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the crew's first practice session, not only were the Welsh pit crew able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilogram of speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.
