Anyone gonna watch F1 after this year?

[SLVR]

Michael Shcumacher will retire after this year and thier has been alot of questioning if F1 will still be popular after he leaves.
Will you take the time to watch F1 with him gone? You will if hes not yer favorite driver and realy love F1 but for the common fan they might lose intrest cause most just know the man who drives the Red Ferrari and is stats wise the best ever.
I know I will. I love Ferrari and Kimi has always been my favorite next to Michael.

[M-50]

I am gonna watch F1 with or without Schumie, because even though he is the best driver out of the lot, in my opinion, there are others like Alonso and Kimi.

[Aphrodisiac]

yeah.. dont forget Massa and Kubicca.. in his 3rd race he placed 3rd..

[Miyata]

I'd still watch F1 even if he does go. It's still pretty interesting because now that the big gun has gone and Alonoso has 'lost all faith in F1', we can see who's the best out of the rest.

[Rorschach]

im still gonna watch F1. schumi wasn't really my favorite driver, more of a Kimi fan and now that he's switching to ferrari he's got a better chance to win. oh and if speed is still there next year i'll root for him too.
*edit*
don't forget about ralf he's still a schumacher

[chiking1]

Man, I don't think that I'm gonna watch it anymore, Michael Schumacher was the reason I watched it, now, I don't think anyone can go as fast as him.

[SLVR]

you know Im not sure if you are European but most american in a survey said they wont watch it. That showed how popular he is here and how no one else is

[Rorschach]

well that dosn't sound very good for Speed if americans arn't gonna watch because schumi is leaving

[Xkavanger]

Hey SLVR... I think you should make a new post for this year =\

Next Race: 18 March 2007 - Australian Grand Prix (Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia)
My home town :D

[Rorschach]

*makes note to watch, and root for Speed... and Kimi Räikkönen*
why not use this topic for the upcoming F1 season :rolleye09
I should go to the U.S. GP this year *Indy isn't that far from where i live*

[Xkavanger]

The Bathhurst for me XD
aaaandd.... The Indy is like in another state... T.T
Two states up.. (when its here) ;-;

I <3 Kimmi XD

[Rorschach]

Sorry, but i don't get what you're saying, wouldn't indy be thousands of miles/km away from where you live :rolleye09

[Xkavanger]

No no... we have the Indy 3000 here as well... sometimes... in the state of Queensland
*shakes a fist in the air* >=(

[Rorschach]

... ok then, i'm talking about the one in Indiana (the Brickyard). only 31 more days till the start of the F1 season (umm thats EST... -5GMT)
*makes note to also watch 12 hours of sebering*

-edit-
Isn't anyone else slightest bit interested in F1

[Xkavanger]

We'll just kick em coz they ain't :p

Well that's diff then.. Indy 3000 and the one in Indiana (the Brickyard) :Rolleye09

woaa!!! -5!!
Mine's +10AEST

[Rorschach]

i think we went over timezones before :rolleye09

i can't wait to see kimi in red :)

[Xkavanger]

Yeah >.>
We did
/me has a bad memory :)

...no wait.. wrong emot ----> @-@"

Awww... you're sooo lucky!! Kimi is my fave (I'm sure I mentioned tat too >.>)
aaaannnddd I miss the legendary all star.. Schumaccer (dunno how to spell it anymore T.T )

[SLVR]

Yeah. Well Ima gonna. I love Ferrari. I got Felipe Massa winning the championship because he has been quicker than Kimmi in the test. But the might make Felipe the 2nd driver thus having to finish behind Kimmi. Well see.

[Rorschach]

I wonder if Alonso is gonna have a drop off this year since he moved to Mclaren.

[SLVR]

Mclaren has had reliability problems for the last 2 years and I think that will change but the move to bridgestone will have them and everyone else behind Ferrari

[Rorschach]

Isn't F1 going back to slicks next year (how it should be :rolleye09)?

[Xkavanger]

I have no idea x__X;

Edit: I can't google it x___X"

[Rorschach]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_slicks
fourth paragraph, i also read it in the F1 magazine :rolleye09

[SLVR]

Its no tred compound. I dont care all it will do is make them have more grip. BTW Ferrari is leading test in Bahrain

[Xkavanger]

LOL!!! I may change soon... actually I dunno... Schumaccer has been leadin the way for years T-T

And he is awesome!!

Oh I dun mind so much about the vehicles, more like I care more the drivers XD

and how many times have you heard me say Kimmi FTW? :rolleye09

[Rorschach]

umm thats the first time i've seen you say that :lol (even though you're a kimi fan)

[Xkavanger]

Seen me say what?
Yes.. Kimi is tah smex... in wheels


>_>


Ok.. that was just wierd o_O

[Rorschach]

and how many times have you heard me say Kimmi FTW? :rolleye09

I wouldn do that tho ^-^
Tho I am feeling rather gracious heehee =)

But yes, I do think his watch is cool (prefer Surf brand watches tho >_>) and admire his hawtness... oh and of course.. his driving skills and ability :lol
Btw... that pic was the 1st pic to come up on Google images XD

[Rorschach]

at least i spelled his name correctly... sans umlauts :rolleye09
*is also rooting for Scott Speed :Domo*

[Xkavanger]

Not concentrating on anyone else except Kimi and maybe:
Fisichella,
Barrichello,
Alonso,
Coulthard, :Domo
Webber, :Domo
Montoya
&
Trulli

LOL!!, that's MOST of them HAHAHAH

[Rorschach]

Montoya is in NASCAR now :Domo

[Xkavanger]

Huh? You mean on tv now?
*is lost as usual*

[Rorschach]

It was on the news the other time o_O

@SLVR: yes, the one where there were massive crashes and all.. i.e. Number 20 :lol

Daytona is a big deal =)



Btw.. that pic you posted is not allowing you to post it o_O

[ghey b]

it was sad to see M. S. go but i will continue to watch, F1 is the greatest racing out there... right beside AMA Superbike & Moto GP.

go alonso

[SLVR]

Chea Ferrari are leading the test in Bahrain no one is close except Mclaren and that only on short runs.
BTW in case you guys didnt notice Ferrari has a new paint scheme. Its all red, the wing, fenders no white. Bleh I like the old scheme from last year better but this is nice to. The all red is to plain though

2007 Car-F2007 with Marlvoro livery. I put pic of Kimi in the car for my gal Kava.

Truthfully... I can't tell the difference, yet that there... is a beaut!Blind Girl. Its so obvious

[Rorschach]

Renault has looked good in testing so far

Sweet less than two weeks till f1 returns :Domo

non f1 related: 12 hours of Sebring is close as well :Domo

[SLVR]

But no one as good as Ferarri. Even Giancarlo and Fernando have said thier ahead. Ferrari will be favored heading into Melbourne. I can tell Semp like F1 so if you want most current news. Vheck out this site if you dont know bout it.

http://f1-live.com

[Rorschach]

I'm a fan of racing in general, just wish we got the WRC :sad

Ferrari is defiantly the team to beat this year

/me will root for super best friends anyways, even though they won't score a point

[SLVR]

LOL Cant wait for Melbourne. Teams will actually stop sand bagging and roll out the real stuff. I know Ferrari will have a new and improved rear wing configuration with more downforce. It was the 06 wing. They just havnt used it vause they dont want rivals to see. Same with other teams.

[Rorschach]

see honda's new paint job, crazy. You can even make a donation... er pledge and have your name on the car...

[Xkavanger]

I love it when things like this comes to us X)
Coz ALL of Melbourne stop to watch... and if you were here when Ferrari won.. ALL the Melbournians got on the streets with re and yellow Ferrari flags and the streets where poured with Ferrari X)
There were like heaps XD

@Semp: Woa! That's the world!

@SLVR: no srlsy... I can't tell the difference >.>

[Rorschach]

Yeah it is fairly ugly, it won't be a good distraction for them being a disappointment again...

[Mr Plow]

Yes, I think that Alonso is a good driver perhaps the best . Altough i think that F1 without shumi will be less competitive.

[Yuki]

Alonso is in MacLaren Mercedes team, isn't he? =/ I'm not very attached to the races. How is he doing?

[Rorschach]

Yup alonso is driving for Mclaren. only about week until F1 begins :Domo

[Xkavanger]

Bah! I can wait.. I'm used to it... it's gunna be alive here \0/
What with Moombah comin' up too XD

So yeah.. updates every second (basically)... and if ya'll didn't get tickets... watch it on the big screen at Federation Square with hundreds of other people :redbiggri

Who's everyone Rooting/Barracking for anyway?

[Rorschach]

I'll be watching in my house on the television :rolleye09

I'll be rooting for two drivers Raikkonen and Speed

[SLVR]

Forza!!! Scuderia Marlboro Ferrari.
Im still bann on Micheal Schumacher :p

Honestly I root for teams. Rootin for a driver in f1 is kinda retarded to me

[Rorschach]

Well i root for drivers... Nothing wrong rooting for your countrymen :Domo

[Xkavanger]

Well i root for drivers... Nothing wrong rooting for your countrymen :Domo
I CAN PROUDLY 2ND THAT!

and by the way... I was watching the German News this morning
and if I understood correctly... "Mercedez is the team to beat this year"
BUT they could just be bias :lol

[Rorschach]

Of course the Germans are gonna say Mercedes is the team to beat this year.

[SLVR]

Mclaren is based in England, all that gives them German fans is the name Mercedes. Schumacher still carrys the majority of Germany as his fan base and he is still employed by Ferrari as a consultant.

Forza!!! Ferrari!

[Xkavanger]

LOL

Never heard that one before... only "Forza Italia" x)

So yeah, all I can say is that there was a crowd of 40,000+ on the first day... and this is a record now as it is the first time this has happened (1st day) since the F1 first came here to Melbourne =\

[Rorschach]

Sweet sweet this Saturday is a day of racing. First the 12 hours at Sebring, followed by the Australian GP :Domo

[SLVR]

LOL

Never heard that one before... only "Forza Italia" x)

So yeah, all I can say is that there was a crowd of 40,000+ on the first day... and this is a record now as it is the first time this has happened (1st day) since the F1 first came here to Melbourne =\Im sure if Micheal was thier it would be bigger. Practice in 6 hours \o/

[Rorschach]

Whoa, come on i know there are more F1 fans here >.>
anyways Ferrari grabbed the pole again (massa). should be an interesting race ... oh crap the race is almost on lol (well in 2 hours)

[SLVR]

Good win for Mclaren. I dont think they have cought Ferrari yet but have nade the gap smaller. As you could see Kimi was faster over the long run and on harder tires and Massa was fast with softer tires. Their is still a gap in lap consistency. Alonso has always had great taake offs. So I was not surprised when he passed the Ferrari. It will be interesting to see how Ferrari responds in Bahrain and I believe it is safe to assume Kimi is now the team leader at Ferrari. BTW BMW Sauber lookin good. Go Nick

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Ferrari will win in bahrain, there was just a problem in malaysia and causes ferrari to lose..

[SLVR]

Well Ferrari have a week to show that they are faster. Next week its the Bahrain international circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain. Nice place XD

[Rorschach]

Why couldn't Mclaren be this good last year... Hamilton is gonna be good

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

I don't like McLaren now because of Fernando Alonso.. I hate him because he always brags when he wins against michael schumacher, he's so boastful..

[SLVR]

LOL Im cool with Fernando. Its a big deal to beat Schumacher. Anyways I looked at a pattern and I believe Mclaren are as good as Ferrari on soft mediums but are not on Hard compounds. Id imagine this weekend will be similar to last with McLaren verry strong cause th circuits are similar and in temps. But Ferrari was faster than everyone their durrin the test in February. I think anyone can be as good as Hamilton like Fisichella or Jenson if they were in the McLaren car

[Rorschach]

We'll have to wait and see, plus slicks are making a comeback next year http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_w00t.gif

oh and i can't wait for the race at Spa, I love that track

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

We'll have to wait and see, plus slicks are making a comeback next year http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_w00t.gif

I don't like the other tracks except Monaco.. The track in monaco is very hard.

[SLVR]

Bleh they put the arguably the hardest or second hard track back on. Yeah Im atalkin bout Spa. But the also took of aguabl ythe hardest and drivers favorite track Suzuka. It stinks Suzuka is IMO and echoed by many drivers as the hardest race track.

[Rorschach]

It's debatable which is the hardest track. But i still think Spa is a great track because it is challenging (it's a favorite among drivers).

[SLVR]

Teams touched down in Bahrain today and are unloading stuff at Sakhir

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Massa is in the pole position again and I hope he won't let Hamilton pwn him again in the race

[Rorschach]

Looks like it's gonna be a dogfight between Mclaren and Ferrari this year (BMW is a darkhorse though). Oh Well Go Kimi :Domo

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Renault is being funny this year. McLaren took advantage of their car already.. and Mclaren is lucky to have hamilton because he has a nice driving.

[SLVR]

Yeah. I believe this is Mclaren again. I think Lewis has sligh bit of more fuel on board. Not sure but we will see. I think Raikonen will win tommorrow. I dun have faith in Massa after his agresive driving. Kimi is called the ice man for a reason

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Massa was ok today. He kept his driving smooth while blocking hamilton in his back.

Fernando Alonso was pwned by Heidfeld lol!!!

[SLVR]

Fernando stinks LOL
I wish kimi would been ahead cause he had most fuel and was faster

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Fernando stinks LOL
I wish kimi would been ahead cause he had most fuel and was faster

yeah. Kimi is dissapointing. I thought he is better in Ferrari.. and i think he's finding it hard to drive the ferrari car.

[Rorschach]

What!? Kimi has a win and a total of three podiums this year, how is that a disappointment. It's just that McLaren has been good this year, and will challenge Ferrari throughout the year.

[SLVR]

Yah know, it will be interesting to see who wins in testing. Both teams have bew parts and we will see who has the advantage. Ferrari is still ahead. But Mercedes is alot closer. Its interesting. The thing with Kimi is he can not qualify ware Massa is and that prevents him from challenging. Also Ferrari have never been known for having as good as launches as the McLarens and Renault's for some reason.

[M-50]

Does anyone want a bet as to who will win the next F1 race?

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

I bet for Massa and the Ferrari

[SLVR]

Does anyone want a bet as to who will win the next F1 race?Bet Points? :biggrinki

Ice Man got may vote for this one cause I suspect Ferrari wil have the new components to support him

[Rorschach]

Gah it's been too long since an F1 race... i'm getting tired off left turns and the occasional ALMS race... *begins rocking back and forth*

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

10 more days before spanish grand prix

[SLVR]

Yes. And Ferrari have been dominating testing their. Kimi has the fastes laps of the test. And its suprising to me McLarenn is no second quick to Ferrari. But who knows they might be working on other stuff.

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

LOL!!! Renault is in crisis Bohahaha


http://www.formula1.com/news/6026.html

[Gojira]

I never liked Schumacher but I basically only watched just so I could see him lose. I'm always rooting for the underdog, see?

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Did anyone already see juan pablo montoya racing in nascar??

[Rorschach]

Yes i've seen him race in NASCAR, he's doing pretty decent, he's won a race in the the Busch series in mexico, but that was expected because it was on a road course (it was basically a clinic...).
gah it's still been to long since the last race :rolleye09

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Wow he's good in nascar although its boring. I wish he'll be back for f1 now that it's getting better w/o schumi

[Rorschach]

he's only got two top tens in the NNCS. he hasn't been stellar because he's only a rookie and learning a new form of racing (plus the new CoT). Although i expect to win at either Infineon or Watkins Glen...

[SLVR]

w/e Im gonna give yall some meat to eat tille Barcelona. Ferrari have tested a updated version of the F2007 which is said to be essentially a new car. Ferrari claim they are from .5- 1 second fasted. McLaren will take the new front wing Spainish Gran Prix. David Coultard set Fastest lap of testing in Barcelona .2 ahead of Raikonen. So hmm Id imagine light fuel load. Massa was quoted saying if Ferrari wanted go faster they could. Anyways Ferrari is making new being fast and McLaren to for having a odd front wing.
JPM aint all that. But he is good. Doing good for being in a Dodge. But at the driver tracks like short tracks he has struggled. I will hold my opinion till after this week ware they are at the toughest track in NASCAR.

[Xkavanger]

Bleh.. something I took when everything was happening here =)

LOL kava is taking pictures of street signs (love yah Kava<3:winking56). This is a good time to add that Schumacher might attend the Spanish Grand Prix and will be at Magny Cours for the French Grand Prix

[Xkavanger]

ehh... I was gunna take pics of teh ppl... coz that tram platform (not seen in pic... towards the left of that anyway) was PACKED with people...
it took 10 minutes rather than 10 seconds to get off it -_-

and that's great news about the Mach!!
So is this only a one show go?

[SLVR]

So is this only a one show go?whatcha mean by that?

[Xkavanger]

Hahaha.. I meant.. is this only for one race?

[SLVR]

Hahaha.. I meant.. is this only for one race?Um if you mean Schumacher, no. He will not be at all races only select races during te European season he desires

[Xkavanger]

HA!
so much for retire!
He can't get off the roads! :lol

[SLVR]

HA!
so much for retire!
He can't get off the roads! :lolUm O if yer talking about him racing now. He will be thier as a consultant for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro

[Xkavanger]

Heh

really? ok o_O
havn't heard that one before
what exactly is he doing? -_-

[SLVR]

Heh

really? ok o_O
havn't heard that one before
what exactly is he doing? -_-LOL Kava!!!! common now!!!! to much football:winking56

LOL that is old news he has retired from driving since the end of the 06 season but has decided to take a role as a advisor with some technical duties and input into cars designs and modifications. Driver selections. Id want him telling me how I want my car designed.

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

tommorow's the race lol

[Rorschach]

Finally geez it's been too long since the last race =X
Oh and it's a Ferrari-Mclaren in the first two rows (typical now). I do feel though that BMW will win at least one race this year :lol

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

BMW will win?? i don't think so.. maybe if the renaults and the farraris crash they would be the winner but that's impossible

[SLVR]

BMW unlikely unless its in the wet like Honda last year. Anyways excitig news, Thier could be a 20 race season next year we know their will be 2 more in 08 with the edition of Singapor street circuit (likely a night race) and Valencia (street cicuit). And their is talk that the Pacific Grand Prix could come back and to most of the drivers favorite track Suzuka.
Anyways
Not suprised Ferrari is on the pole. McLarens wing looks to be illegal because you can see it bending in the corners. I think a Ferrari will win tomorrow their race pace is better than McLaren. The only way I see Mercedes winning is if its like Malaysia ware 1 runs off and the other holds them up. I could be wrong though.

[Dreams]

Ofcourse I am going to watch it! Yes, it's true now that schumi is gone it won't be that exiting anymore. But now that alonso has been transfert to Mclaren, it will be interesting. And Massa is very good!

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

@Dreams: Then you should watch tomorrow's race

I guess Alonso wouldn't let himself lose in his hometown... but i still hope ferrari wins

[SLVR]

Yah know I might attend the other race at Singapor if its at night. instead othe one in April. about 6 hours to green. McLarens wing will be taken off or banned in the comming weeks. You can see that it flexes

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

The pit crew today was too erroneous. first, the ferrari car burned while driving from the pit.. second, heidfeld's crew were too slow in chaning the tires..

[Rorschach]

OMG superbest friends scored a point this is the happiest day of my life :Domo

[Dreams]

Massa won today :headbang

[SLVR]

I knew a Ferrari would win. Look at Massa avoiding Alonso till the podium pic. We go testing next week I belive. Im not sure I will look, maybe no offical test at 1 track. Kimi has terrible luck. Hamilton get by him but he keeps 3rd but has a elecrtic problem. Alonso has a damaged car. Mass was quicker by a about .8 seconds at some time. The F2007 is verry quick in race trim and qualifying. Anyways I see Ferrari winning at the Grandest of all Gran Prix in 2 weeks. Ferrari were quicker than anyone at Monaco last year it was just Schumachers qualiying move. Schumacher would have one. Ferrari is said to be better with mechanicle grip while McLaren is better with aero. Well it looks like Ferrari is better in both now. Anyways I hope Ferrari protest McLarens ILLEGAL wing. You can see it was flexing down on straits and would go up on braking. Just like they protested Ferrari's suspect barge board in Australia. This was as plain as daylight. If Ferrari really want to push it they could have McLaren DQ'd. That would be something. I would not be suprised if they gave protest ith Kimi getting no points because it is clear this will be a close battle.

[omega255]

this season has been brilliant so far
go Lewis Hamilton!!!!!

[SLVR]

I bet yer English. Hmmm. McLaren was fastest in Manaco trim Ferrari in Canadian trim

[Rorschach]

Bloody Indians game, made me miss the race >=/
BMW almost won, i tells ya they are capable of winning this year
That Hamilton fellow he's is gonna be good

edit: all cars that finished the race where on lead lap...

[M-50]

nah man this race was mucked. robert had a broken leg. That crash was fucking awful man! He could have died from that shit. after he came to a rest, he was not even moving man and I was like, 'holy shit please say he has not died'
but well done to hamilton, who won his first trophy coming in first place.

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

dang!! what happened to ferrari!! They're losing again and again

[M-50]

isnt it? they have gone from the best to bad.

[..::Mr 999::..]

i will watch F1 till i bored with F1

[SLVR]

Well Im not suprised I did see Lewis winnin t not in the North American rounds because they are Ferrari tracks but Ferrari are not doin good. Anyways I guess everyones veiw on Kimster and Massa being way better with the F2007are being wrong. It was obvious the F2007 was way better than the MP420 but its obvious Alonso is way better than anyone in the paddock at developing the car proof is the fact they were a second slower than Ferrari at melbourne and are now quicker. It shows that Kimi can really not develop the car and is not a good technical driver and Massa was benifieting with Schumachers technical mastery. Alonso is the complete new package. Unless the Marenllo based team as Micheal Schumacher drive in test to further develop the car than I do not see them capturing McLaren this year unless Mclarens reliablity goes back to being bad.

Guess who is in Indianapolis!!?!?!!?
Yep me.
Ill be here for most of the weekend And I will see the Grand Prix then I will fly to Michigan for the NASCAR race that same day

[M-50]

You lucky so and so.
Yeah you are true about the north american tracks being ferrari, so is indianapolis but the way they are performing right now, you never know. Massa could pull it off.

[SLVR]

Possibly because in Canada Ferrari had more fuel on board and when the saftey car came out the did not get to use it.

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

INdianapolis USA gp tomorrow.. Dang !! i missed canadian grand prix, i didn't see what happened to ferrari.. massa seems so stupid

[SLVR]

*6/15/2007*
LOL Nah Qualifying is tommorow GP is Sunday. Im in Indy. McLaren look best Ferrari look good to over the course of a long run.

We are back in the European Schedule!!! and we have produced!!!! We were clearly faster than the McLaren Mercedes of FA and LH. It seems obvious our revised car is verry goood and we are better than Mercedez on medium high downforce which are the majority of the remaining races. We shall capture England next week in which Kimi was fastest thier in testing last week!!! But it will be tough because it is Lewis Hamiltons and Mercedes home race so they will push hard. We can win thier

*my Italian Sux*
Preso Cirucuit de Nevers Magny Cours!!!. We will miss you.

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

dang i missed alot of races because of the schedule.. i hope i can catch up on british gp.. i see ferrari did well in French GP and Raikkonen is also catching up.

[SLVR]

I think we will be even better in Silverstone because Kimi said they did not get alll the parts on the car. Like which I assume is the new suspension teseted thier last week. It should be interesting to see if that is the new stuff because suspension is a major compenent of the car. I assume thier will be another few upgrades as well

Har har! Kimi won. The Ferraris were way 2 fast. We shoulda had a 1-2 if Massa did not stall on the Grid. 2 week we go to Nürburgring ,Formula 1 Layout - GP-Strecke for the European Grand Prix, similar to Silverstone, and other med-high downforce tracks. We will continue to develop the car at up comming test.
@ Semp
They are testing in Spa this week I think

[Rorschach]

Yay Kimi has won two in a row, but he still has a long way to go... (one must think that hamilton will eventually hit a wall... not literally). Hopefully Kimi can keep this up, instead of being uhh his usual self. Just once i'd like to see one of these cars take on the Nordschleife... only for a lap. but the car would crap out...

[M-50]

Yeah we would have. But still it is good. Hamilton had to conserve his engine to prevent it from burning out, so that is good for ferrari cus hamilton still has to use the same engine at the nurenburg in two weeks.

[SLVR]

Haha thats good. He was already on light fuel to get the pole anyways and was way slower on light fuel with the prime tires on than Raikkonen with the softs on heavier fuel. Ferrari had to turn down the revs in France and England to. You dont think that Hamlin out front was not running 100% or Alonso out front 100% to build a lead before the last pit stops? LOL
You read to much into what Ron Dennis says. He never looses gracefully. He said in another interview Ferrari were to quick. After They were passed by Kimi they turned the revs down because they couldnt keep up anyways.
Finally the Ice Man is back.

[aloy]

..hei..what about hamilton...he's great but i still wish massa or raikonen will be the champ this year.

[SLVR]

I think Hamilton is doing great and if he stays more consistant he deserves to win it. But to me he realy is not deserveing from a who has been around. Im saying Id like to see a guy who has been around longer. BTW
Our Ferrari B team(McLaren Mercedes) was fastest in Spa today by .8 over Ferrari. You can never tell who is doing what in testing but this seems like it might have been a glory lap, but this circuit is similar to Indy, and Canada

[zen]

I'll watch it, But only to have something to talk about or rag on.

[deto]

after schumi retired i lost my interest. don't even bother to look who won and such.

[SLVR]

Thier will be no more F1 in Indianappolis next year and possibly not in America either. I saw this comming the the president of both IMS and F1 are cheap skates and butt heads. America is the F1 manufactures largest customer market. O well looks like I will be doing more flying around teh world.:]

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

^ bleh US GP and canadian GP are boring so its good for me

[SLVR]

They were my favorites because thier is the most overtaking thier. It cost to much money to host F1 many countrys might loose thier race like USA, France. Austrailia, Britain are possibilities

[Rorschach]

Well Hamilton's Streak finally came to an end, must've been miserable conditions during the race. Kimi pulled a Kimi as usual :rolleye09

[SLVR]

Finnally Hami is out of the points. This should have been a Ferrari 1-2 with out the rain. And I think Kimi is faster than Massa in the wet just because he is verry good at Spa. Ferrari need to improve reliability for the championships. Last race Massa had a problem, this race Kimi has one. Alonso is a asshole blaming massa for the contact and acting like a child after. And screw Ron Penis, I hope this thursday the FIA at least penalizes McLaren 15 WDC WCC points for both dr5ivers and Mercedes if they are guilty.

F1 has proven that they don't care much to be in the U.S."We didn't reach an agreement... Let's see if we miss America," Ecclestone said
A lot of the fault is Indy's owner Tony George. He's also the reason CART split into Champ car and IRL which as seperated series aren't even close to the past glory of CART.

Anyone hear about the Button situation. Jenson Button says that if he doesn't get winning cars from Honda next year he will quit F1. Of course he just signed a 1 year contract extension also.

[SLVR]

Well I can not believe that McLaren has not been penalized for having 780 pages worth of Ferrari notes. I belive thier should be a penalty, first of all they got the notes from a emplyee and used it to take away Ferraris floor board, they got it and dont even try to give the information to the FIA or aanything. Its like Ferrari is playing poker with people who know what thier cards are.

Anyways a few of the manufactures are already cryin that F1 needs to be in USA for manufacture purpose not for racing

[Rorschach]

Oh wow, McLaren is in deep deep shit... already lost the constructors championship and fined $100 Million (US).
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6991147.stm

[SLVR]

What a weak penalty!!!! The drivers arenot excluded!!! McLaren used Ferrari data to improve their car and the drivers dont benifiet!!! What SH*T!!!!!!?!?!!? IS THAT?!?!?!?!?! McLaren got off light! I hope they apeal this penalty so The drivers can be thrown out as well. I hope Ferrari kills them in Spa this week! We will see Tomorrow

[Rorschach]

Well i guess they still had to drive the cars in order to win :rolleye09
Either way conspiracy nuts are gonna have a field day with this, because generally the constructors title is more coveted (I wish they did this to the pats... not the $100M).

[SLVR]

They cant have four Ferrari cars in the grid though. I would have rather seen both drivers banned this year and exclusinon from the 07 and 08 constructors title than a 100 mill fine

[SoulReapa]

wat is F1?

[SLVR]

Formula One racing

[Rorschach]

McLaren IS excluded from the Constructor title. Hamilton and Alonso can however compete for the Drivers world championship.

edit: and they are excluded in next years constructors title as well

[SLVR]

I know that they have been DQ'd from the 07 constructors title. But they have not been banned from the 08 constructors title, thats just a possibility, who ever told you that is being premature

[Yuki]

I hope that Alonso gets back to Renault ;_; I don't like how Hamilton makes fun out of him... and McLaren seems to like more Hamilton as a driver than Alonso =/

It would be also wonderful if Alonso went to Ferrari.

After everything that happened with the spionage and stuff, will McLaren drivers be freed after the championship?

[SLVR]

What do you mean by freed? I know that Alonso will almost 100% be gone no matter what. I know I heard that their is something in Nando's contract that says if McLaren are found guilty of breaching in sporting codes he can opt out I think. I doubt Lewis will go he is to much of Rons boy to leave McLaren hanging in the wind.

[Yuki]

What do you mean by freed?

I meant if they will be able to leave the team.

if McLaren are found guilty of breaching in sporting codes he can opt out

I hope they are found guilty...

Will Raikkonen be in Ferrari next year?

[SLVR]

Yes he will. Kimi has a 50 mill contract for Ferrari till 2009.

[Yuki]

50 mill contract for Ferrari till 2009.

Crap, that's a lot ;_;

Btw, in this week's GP the four first drivers:
Raikkonen
Massa
Alonso
Hamilton.

Who do you think will win?

[Rorschach]

Why does super best friends have 4 points?

I think it'll be a Ferrari 1-2 Uhh With Kimi winning.

[SLVR]

It was easy to see it would be a Ferrari 1-2 here. Raikkonen is money at Spa. Im glad Alonso stayed ahead of Pam. 2 week till the Japanese GP in Fuji (not Suzuka) they say that is a McLaren track which requires alot of Mechanicle grip

[aloy]

..Alonso will drive for ferrari alongside kimi next year..massa will drive for toyota but who will replace alonso at Mclaren....???

[SLVR]

Thats speculation but if Jean Todt is still team principle he we will not alow Alonso their because Todt's son Nicholas Todt is Massa's manager. But its said that Jean a the owner of Ferrari have fallen out an Todt is on the exit and Ross Brawn will return to be team prinicple. Anyways great race today here in Japan I was their! Its so amazig how much better F1 is in the rain.

[Rorschach]

Hmm real interesting race coming up. three drivers separated by only 7 points. Go Kimi :Domo

[SLVR]

RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kim Raikkonen WDC!!!!! Finnaly he did it the most unlikely scenerio!!!!!
Forza Cavalino Rampante!

[Rorschach]

Noooo i missed the race (damn essay) ;_;
Fitting end to the season though, McLaren got what they deserved :toocool:

Grats to the Iceman

[SLVR]

Hamilton craackered under pressure. Like they say, their is a reason rookies dont win the champinship

[Habanero]

Amazing ending for the season! Winner by one point. Just crazy.

Kimi deserves his title imo. Though I might be a bit biassed as a fellow finn :p

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

Kimi was really lucky. I didn't expect him to win because I thought he was too far behind hamilton.. Big win for Kimi and Ferrari

[SLVR]

Their is some bs about BMW and Williams having their fuel to cold. But the FIA said that not enough was proved to show that it was an advantage. I also want to say this still could just be a rumor started by someone most likely McLaren. I find it funny how those 2 teams would cheat in the last race of the season when their drivers and constructures points are already decided.
