I think this cartoon sums up Alain Prost's problems:

Well,it's make or brake time for Coulthard.24 points behind going into France,Mclaren have lots to do.Coulthard cannot afford to lose more points to Scumacher,and with Ralf and JPM on form,it's going to be very difficult.

Well if Mercedes actually gave a f*** about F1 and actually developed thaie engine properly (like BMW have done) rather than jsut pump money into ilmor, the merc v10 wouldnt be such a heffing great pile of arse and wouldnt keep exploding at unforutnate points of the race, such as 1 lap from the finish. But, they lost the '99 constructors and '00 constructors and drivers championships because of crap reliability, so why expect them to learn now?

So Michael beat Ralf again,this time with no silly pit lane exit penalties.Coulthard,now 31 points behind,has effectively lost the championship with just 7 races left,and it looks like Mclaren are out of the reckoning as well.

What I don't get is that for years people would moan:"It's always Villneuve/Mclaren V Schumacher,no-one else wins,it's too boring...".Well,now there is someone new in the shape of Ralf and people are now complaining that it's only them two that are really in competition.What's the point?It's not that likely that 4 different drivers will compete in every race.
