GO MICHAEL

[McChook]

Hmm, another boring race coming up shortly

[bigteethygrin]

hope hondas new engine shows the goods

[VTEC16]

hope hondas new engine shows the goods

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!

[LUD02C]

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
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.

[VTEC16]

What a race!

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...

[LUD02C]

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

I love being a Schuacher fan! 8)

[Javed]

Bah! Schumacher is a tosspot 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!

[LUD02C]

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
Hope it puts Kimi up the top

[bigteethygrin]

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.
