Our new Laser Hair Therapy treatment stops the progression of hair loss in 85 of patients. By Piero Valsecchl Associated Press MONZA, Italy Rubens Barrichello won the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, overcoming an unscheduled early pit stop to finish ahead of world champion Michael Schumacher in a 1-2 showing by Ferrari on its home track. Barrichello has won this race two of the past three years, and now has eight Formula One career victories. The performance by Ferrari sparked celebrations by thousands of Italian fans who displayed the team colors with red caps and shirts.

"It was a very exciting grand Next race What: Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai When: Sept. 26 TV: 6 a.m., Speed prix," Barrichello said. "It was magic, not boring contrary to what many people say about Formula One." The Brazilian started from the pole but had to pit stop after five laps to change tires and change his aerodynamic settings to complete the 53-lap race. He finished 13 seconds ahead of Schumacher. The teammates drove a parade lap wheel to wheel after crossing the line, raising their arms to salute the crowd.

Jenson Button, who led for several laps, drove his BAR-Honda to third place. He trailed the winner by 10J seconds. "Ferrari guys were just too quick today," Button said. "I did not think Ferrari could be so strong." Barrichello was timed in 1 hour, 15 minutes, 18.448 seconds and averaged 151.511 mph. His win gave him 98 points in the driver standings, 38 behind Schumacher.

Button was third with 71. Barrichello built a lead of more than 20 seconds and emerged from his third pit stop narrowly ahead of Schumacher, but he had to radio his team to ask about his positioa "I was relieved to know I was leading. I thought everything was lost in the middle of the race," he said. Schumacher, who was going for his 13th win of the season, skidded off a corner during the first lap, losing 21 seconds to the leading drivers. Schumacher, who clinched a record seventh world title in Belgium two weeks ago, said starting with dry tires was risky because parts of the track were wet and slippery during initial laps.

Guy Smith 10. Paul Tracy By Mike Harris Associated Press MONTEREY, Calif. The Monterey Peninsula brings out the best in Patrick Carpentier. The Canadian drove onto the undulating hills of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and instantly became the driver to beat, leading most of the practice sessions, taking the provisional pole and dominating Sunday's Bridgestone Grand Prix of Monterey for the second straight year. It wasn't quite as easy as the race in June 2003, when he started from the pole and led every lap.

But, once Carpentier took the lead Sunday, inheriting the top spot when Michel Jourdain Jr. on a different pit strategy made a stop on lap 41, he was overpowering. "We had a great car and the pit stops were really fast," said Carpentier, whose first win since reaching victory lane here last year was the fifth of his career. The race was shortened from its scheduled 80 laps on the 2.238-mile, 11-turn road circuit to 79 by Champ Car's 1 hour, 45 minute time limit for road races.

It was the second bad race in a row for Bourdais, who went into Montreal two weeks earlier with a 59-point edge over Junqueira but crashed while his teammate held off Carpentier for the win.

This time, it was Carpentier who was in charge, beating Junqueira to the finish line by 5.395 seconds nearly the length of the final straightaway.
