Well, Again, the comment on Ralf was a bit unfair. It was pretty obvious that u gain a position by only attrition, Ralf did a decent enough job to stay in the race, no adventures to push too much, finished and collected some valuable points for Williams. And he was fast enough to stay ahead of Trulli, even though he had a problem and an extra pitstop. 
Well, I am no fan of Ralf, but many of the comments on him is unfair. 
Above all, he did put in few fastest laps, when his team-mate's best part was holding up a faster car - GOP - NL (Reference Heretic 4-15 - A rare win for McLaren)

The Heretic replies:

Hi again GOP,

Sure, maybe I was rough on Ralf and he could have had engine trouble too, but towards the end of the race he did not put in the effort. He was coasting.

He was faster than Montoya for one lap or so – but then for a lap Barrichello was the fastest on the track, even faster than Michael or Coulthard.

Ralf seemed to lose interest about halfway through the race. I thought that this, not his ability to perform, was disappointing. More than a minute behind the leader was not good (the additional pit stop should only account for 30 seconds) and apart from the occasional fast lap there was no indication of him trying to close this gap.
