Season 2 Race 2

==Quali==
It would seem that this time, Ricciardo took the roll of pissing off Schumacher from the departing Villeneuve, by taking a closely contested pole position, only 28 thousands separating the two drivers. A distant 3rd is Kubica, ahead of Maldonado and both Brawns, who interestingly both sneaked into the top 6. The biggest suprise perhaps is Nico Hulkenberg, who was the only driver to make a mistake on his hotlap and he got the car spinning right round in the slow section of the circuit. But it didn't matter much as he'd be demoted with a 10 place grid drop anyways.
==Race==
while on track he may have been beaten, through cheating reasons he has been promoted to first, and managed to take a win against all the odds.
Yep it was Schumacher yet again, leading Maldonado, who scored another second place, Vettel who scored another third place, and Coulthard who took some glory for Mercedes in 4th, after Alesi failed yet again (though Alesi's DNF had some radio miscommunications). Ralf Schumacher got home a massive 5th place (again), despite a collision that required a pitstop, and a drive through penalty. Chilton got more important points, Panis got a first point for Ligier this season and a starting-last Nico Hulkenberg had troubles passing cars and only had to settle for the final point position, being the last finisher in this chaotic race.
At the start, both Ricciardo and Schumacher struggled off the line, Ricciardo losing a spot to Kubica while Schumacher got all the way down to 6th, and only just held 7th from Chilton. However there was no comeback of dreams, Schumacher made many off track moments including a 180 spin. In the first stint he lost much time behind Crashtor, and lost 29 seconds to the leader. No overtakes really happening anywhere on the circuit. But then, there is always a but... Kubica made a massive mistake and crashed out of the race. Ricciardo took the lead but his celebrations were cut short when an electrical failure caused his retirement. Somehow, Brawn's Eddie Irvine was the next to take the lead, and he was now leading Maldonado and Schumacher. Teammate Barichello was in fourth. Schumacher jumped Maldonado and Eddie in the stops and mananed to hold up Eddie until he pitted for a final time. Eddie's final pitstop was earlier than Schumacher's so he managed to undercut. Schumacher was faster and closed up but never proved a serious challenge. Eddie crosses the line in first, with Schumacher only just behind, with Maldonado completing the podium. However, Brawn were found to have illegal traction control devices in their cars and were excluded from the results.
