Just in practice yet again Davidson has raised to the occasion!
Return on McLaren (i hope)
Should be good qualifying session!

[McChook]

Go Honda...

2 Grand Prix within 1 week - thats harsh

yeah especially on the teams, they say that they have to have "military style planning". ouch!

good to see kimi back up where he belongs, but i somehow doubt that he will stay there for qualifying 2 and the race. the mclaren still hasnt improved enough. hopefully the mp4-19b will be out soon :)

[VTEC16]

Time for another ferrari 1-2 :(

[McChook]

WOW, sato is up there again....
Hope he hits michael harder this time

[LUD02C]

How mixed is the field?
Alot of different pit stratorgies i think!
Good to see Kimi up there, Best result for him this year qualifying wise!
Watch Trulli of the start, with the Renault.

[McChook]

!
Watch Trulli of the start, with the Renault.

Those Renaults have a great launch system.
The best starters in the field - The BARs aren;t too bad either

[LUD02C]

I agree McChook!
The Ferrari's had a bad start at Monaco, i think they will prove a point this round.

It'll be a Michael whitewash with the "he's so great" aftermarth. :roll:
Not interested, sorry.... When a team focuses all their energy and money into one driver, it is inevitable that he with the fattest wallet wins

[ECU-MAN]

who will Ralf take out this race ???? :)

[LUD02C]

who will Ralf take out this race ???? :)

Juan!
It will happen! 8)

[VTEC16]

I hope it will be a good battle between michael and sato - they've had a bit of rivalry in the past!

Would be good to get 2 cars on the podium......a win is not likely...unless something happens to michael which is out of his control.

[toE]

but Sato's been known to sorta fark up with errors. :( hope dat doesnt happen. Good luck to him with that being said.

Michael is Human, he makes mistakes. He even admits it (sometimes)

[VTEC16]

Michael is Human, he makes mistakes. He even admits it (sometimes)

True - but how often do those mistakes result in a DNF? or even cost him the lead?


....The race will be televised tonight on channel ten at 10:30 (as per usual)...and the live timing can be viewed from 10pm at www.f1.com

[Dylan]

my predictions:

mschumacher
jarno trulli
kimi raikonnen (as long as his engine dosent break)

[Javed]

SATO NOOOOOOOOO! WHY DID YOU DO THAT JUST THEN!!!!! :(

Edit: Oh great, engine blows again, FFS BAR GET IT RIGHT :x :cry:

[ECU-MAN]

who will Ralf take out this race ???? :)

Juan!

hahahaha , it went the other way, but you got good phsycic ablilities,
Ralf still took out Damatter.

I bet Sato is kicking himself right now

[VTEC16]

Damn Sato! he really let himself and the team down today.

His engine blew as a direct result of him making that extra 15 second pitstop....

he would have had barrichello easily....

Ohh well.....just means we'll have a bigger job to do in canada...gotta catch the renaults.

.....we are supposed to have a major step in every area at canada - expect us to be challenging the red blurrs in front!

I am a Phsycic :)
I just thought about the grid positions, and known fro previous rounds that the BMW boys when close together usually hit each other lol...

As for the race!
Sato, he could of had 2nd and even Rubens said it in the press conference, but he had to try and be a hero :(
Michael, pure talent, well done to him!
Kimi, oh Kimi. Let him go to Ferrari or something!He needs a reliable ride!
Yet again Jenson gets some points and does well.
How about some credit to David, he was in 8th from 20th! Job well done there!
Webber got some points, always good to see!
Frank Williams confirmed Ralf is going to another team next year!
There was talk of Davidson going to Williams! :thumbsup:
I hope its him and webber!

[bigteethygrin]

hehehe poor ralf..

i agree about sato.. its such a shame as i was going for him all race... i think they are right about the honda engine not liking a long period of idle.

anyways was a good race

[toE]

godamit Sato....IDIOTA!! :(

at least BAR got some points from Button's effort. :)
