[^^v]

[vti-2]

BAR = British American Racing

[pornstar]

is this on tonite?

[bigteethygrin]

i heard sato may be out of a job next year for his "expensive" way of driving

[LUD02C]

Yeh its on at 2:45am i think or 2:15am for syd, bris and mel people.

I heard Sato is staying for another year.

[7th Gen]

it does not really make sense for sato to leave BAR since he is honda's golden boy and all

he seems to be a bit of a 'scrapper' - just look how he barged past schumacher at monaco and his (unsucessful) move on barichello at the 'ring - at least he is giving it a go

[McChook]

Sato makes F1 more exciting... He's a maniac, yes, but man, he actually tries to overtake people....

Those Hondas must be making some serious horsepower... Notice the way the top 6 are lined up... teams with most horsepower on 1st 2nd and 3rd rows....

Go the Hondas....

[pornstar]

yeah, i agree, he makes the sport more entertaining, and the lap qualifers he puts on, u cant say that he doesnt know how to drive!

go honda!

Rumour has it that the Honda engines are making more than the ferraris, adn the difference is in the chassis and tyres? Anyone confirm or deny this?

Who knows... Too easy to speculate... Guess we''l find out if the Honda gets a toe down the straight and pulls out of the slipstream and goes past....

I would still think the Ferrari had more power - and they are revving the Ferraris to 19000rpm now, which might be to try and get the Hondas off their backs... will be interesting. I think we might see a Honda win... Maybe.. Hopefully. Would make me a happy happy man for sure.

[VTEC16]

Its going to be very hard to beat the shumi - especially since we are starting behind him!

I think our starting position is quite a good indication of our engine power.

...time for my usual 15 minute power-nap before the race...

[toE]

w00t!! starting in a few seconds...

[VTEC16]

Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

I SLEPT IN :cry: !!!! ----> woke up to see the press conference :shock:

Podium for Sato!!!! ....trouble with button?

[bizee_1]

some sort of gearbox problem. thought they'd bring her in, rather than let her breakdown on track......

we're still behind Renault F1, but closing in!

unusual but entertaining race despite Ralf's crash. Only 9 cars finished the race. BAR did quite well considering the strategy mess up. But who knows...had they pitted under SC, things may have been worst somehow.

[McChook]

Well, Honda first of the rest.. that's not bad really.....

I thought Sato was rather convincing in his fight to remain with BAR - He drove his dinger off, didn;t do anything stupid - But Iwill admit, that when I saw Alonso spnning, I was thinking "Oh, NO, NOT AGAIN"... but thankfuly not..

[toE]

Congrats to Sato!! w00t!! and BAR Honda. :)

[LUD02C]

What a race, wouldn't want to be Ralf. :cry:
Glad to see he is ok, and with Alonso to. :D

Now, Michaels move was pure Brilliant, and the whinging dopes on all forums who don't like him because he wins well watch the USA GP and you will know why he is champion.

Juan was penalised to harsh in my opinion.
They have to change that rule.

Sato was lucky, thats all to it.
Juan got blacked flagged and some other things.
Well done to Minardi for the point (again luck like Sato getting 3rd)

I wanted to see Jenson out there racing because i thought he would of been a big threat.

But best news is that both McClarens finished in the points :)

Now to piss you people off, I'll be overseas soon and might be going to Hockenheimring GP and/or Hungaroring GP 8)

[McChook]

NICE. I dunno which is better, I'd go to both... But the Hungoring is a personal favourite, Hockenheimring has lost its awe IMI

When do you leave.. I might have to give you some money....

[LUD02C]

What circuit i go to depends on my cousin's overseas.
I leave on 5th July.
What would you like? F1 stuff? or a wife? lol :D

Koooool
A little from column A.....
Actually, the exchange rate is shit...
I wanted a BMw.Williams Shirt for my father - the Racing joint in melbourne charges $300... kinda not worth it
