Its not a new engine.....its has a very mild upgrade - probably just a fix for sato's last blowup. I think canada should see the next major engine step.

Anyway....I think it will be a good race from the BAR perspective - maybe not exactly what we had hoped for...but its time to see Sato get a podium, and watch Jenson go throught the field to score some decent points.

Im looking forward to it!

What a race!
It was good to see Trulli go hard and fast off the start.
Sato did extremley well to keep up with trulli and Michael in the first stint.

Jenson had a shocker which was good to see :D
Rubens had a different stragedy which nearly worked into his favour but he came close!
Good to see Fisichella get soe points.

But what is going on with the McLaren's :(
So disappointing!!!
I like to see Kimi fighting with Michael and Juan now it would be good if they can keep up with BAR or Renault.

Full credit goes to 2 people in this race SATO for his brilliant performance and Trulli for not crumbling under pressure with michael.

That was the most boring race i have seen to date.

BAR need to work on their excruciatingly slow pit-stops. Takuma isnt great. Thats all i really got out of that race.

Im getting tired of seeing shumacher winning every race. In my opinion it is very bad for the sport.

Ohh...and it wasnt JB's fault in qualifying....had a video but cant find the link....will post later...

Come on, most boring?
There was some action, just because your hero Jenson wasn't anywhere near the top doesn't mean it was boring!
Give credit to renault and Fisichella.

Bored of seeing Michael win?
How could you be bored of that, greatest thing ever :D

I love being a Schuacher fan! 8)

Bah! Schumacher is a tosspot :D Anyways its getting sad to see, and I extremely hate seeing it, but the best driver is winning at the end of the day. Anyways What the hell happened to Montoya, I went to the toilet and came back and all of a sudden he was out of the race! NOOOOOO JPM!!!!!! JPM and williams are having a shit season, and this isnt good! I think it is time i started supporting Alonso or something, he is a gun!

Javed, main question is...

What is Juan thinking now about going to mcLaren?
They are having a shocker!
Can't wait for there new car :D
Hope it puts Kimi up the top

Yeah I bet Juan is really looking forward to the move to mclaren at the moment. Though that may change when their new car debuts mid season.

The renault starts are something phenominal.. they have done it every race and is a huge advantage in my opinion as the other teams inc ferrari seem dumbfounded as to how they are doing it. Now if they could just sort their understeer problem. I heard they ran their 03 front wing this race to try to sort it out..

As for Rubens strategy well.. hmm.. I wonder how the strategy included slowing down when Michael had to slow down with the exhaust issue. There was a little question mark about the fact that Ferrari brought out the wrong tyres for him at his last pitstop as apparently the systems for tyre selection is supposed to make that sort of mistake never happen.

As for Shuey being such a great driver I'd be interested to see JPM's laptimes in a ferrari. Not to say he isnt good, but the car is certainly overshining his efforts IMO.

i dont think juan will be having any doubts about his decision at all.

Mclaren have been championship contenders for a good 7 years now and just having one bad year is not going to change the fact that they are one of the top 3 most succesful teams in F1, they are backed by one of the biggest car manufactuers in the world (Diamler Chrysler) and they have, although this can be disputed, the best aerodynamicist in the business (adrian newy)

I would much rather be stuck in a team who is full of determination to get back to the front of the grid, and will be focusing 100% with a team that can do it, rather than a very consistent, but totally uninspiring williams team that has been in this same situation for about 4 years now. lots of potential, but never actually shows anything worth much.

plus, Mclaren, although not TOTALLY responsible for their lack of pace this season, have been distracted through the design stage of the MP4-19 by the all new Mclaren Mercedes SLR supercar, and also their massive investment in the new Paragon Motorsports Facility.

But, although the Paragon was a distraction through this years car, next years car which i think i recall will be the first car totally designed in it should be a blinder.

Mclaren now have the best most high tech home base of all the F1 teams, and it SHOULD rub off into a really really fast car if used correctly.

Watch the Silver Arrows. ;)

Trulli went bonkas at the start!
Was an alright race but I want the Hondas to win :)

no scuderia is italian for team

therefore, in english, scuderia ferrari is 'team ferrari'

make more sense? hehe

and by the way, road cars are alot different to formula one cars. just becuase one of their attempts failed dosent mean they cant.

if renault owns nissan, then its safe to say that the nissan F1 car would be the same as the renault one.

so, which one out of honda and renault are ahead in the constructors chanpionship? its not honda!

so, at the moment, NISSAN have a more succesful chance at F1 than Honda does.

yes... im awaiting the flames :shock:

Nissan also had LeMans Cars -the R390, and it wasn;t so unsucessful.... VH45DETT - not NA, but a piece of precision equipment

Just because a company does not make NA engine with lots of power, doesn;t mean they can't build an F1 engine

I have never seen honda build a V10 production engine... or a High output turbo engine - but alas, early/mid 80s they had 1.5litre turbo honda F1s, and nowadays have NA V10s....

that was early 90s tho
