can't belive noone started a thread so far. I remember there were some fans some time round last season. i thought this sport would gather more...seeing the new rules and the increasing spectacularity.
So....what do you have to say about yesterday's race?...ergh...butchering more likely

Kimi raikonen is great this year....cool for Finnland....
Montoya is my favoritte!

An amazing race , in unbelievable conditions.

The way the race ended was spectacular. Did anyone catch the driver interviews afterwards? ITV didn't show them due to over running.

yep..great race..great for kimi. Too bad for coulthard pitting out of the 1st position..oh well.
Strong start for mclaren.....can't wait for the next race...the new cars (Mclaren and ferrari at least)
Didn't catch any interviews, but i read some on the net.

Cool to see that others win as well...not only schumacer

i was sorry for fisichella for a sec...just for a sec knowing that it was kimit up there for the 1st place..hehe. galda too see mclaren's doing very good, AND to see ferrari and williams going down ..mwahaha.
Renault's moving up the field....i just hope we'll have nice, spectacular races....

I dont feel sorry for anybody!!

I think they new rules may have signals the end of Ferrari for a while. They just don't seem to have their house in order for them.

But this was only race 3, still another 15 or so to go.

GO KIMI"

yup..i'm amazed to see the improvements on the mclaren car this year. CAn't wait till they introduce the new one...

In a statement issued this morning, the FIA said they were inviting interested parties to a meeting to be convened in Paris on April 11th after receiving evidence which suggests that Fisichella had started his 56th lap before the race was stopped. This is at odds with the information supplied by the race time-keepers.

If the evidence proves correct then the race classification would stand from the end of the 54th lap when the Jordan driver was leading. The result at the moment is classified at 53 completed laps with Kimi Raikkonen the winner.

In a separate move, Michael Schumacher has said that half points should be awarded because less than 75% of the race distance was completed.

An FIA press release this morning stated that in accordance with Article 179(b) of the International Sporting Code, the stewards of the Brazilian GP will re-convene on Friday 11 April at 11.00am to review the results of the event.

I'm a Ferrari Schumi Fan myself... didn't see the race though.. what program was it on Dexx ?

euro sport.
Miika Hakkinen

hakkinen's retired mujaffa...

what?...that basta schumacher...i bet he wouldn't have proposed that if he had a better placing in the race.
i victory for a jordan would've been something new..i'm sure mclaren can pick up any points taken by them..hopefully.

well that other finnish guy....raiko or something

Yeah Kimi's good 2...

He's probably the most talented...and seeing this good car he's getting this season, he's on his way for his first champion title....
*hopes*

...*dies*
first of all---i feel SO sorry for poor little fisichella!! he was royally gypped!!
and i think it's absolutely *ridiculous* that alonso n' webber were still in the points---they CRASHED. if the race had continued they wouldn't have been in it. anyhow...
i think kimi was a bit of a prick during the interviews--he had this smug little smirk on his face which i found highly irritating. poor fisichella--he totally deserved to be 1st. (in kimi's defense, though--he's young...so maybe he just really didn't know how to react in that situation---after all, who would? it WAS a rather awkward/strange one)

overall....i was SO happy that schumy n' montoya didn't finish. >D so much for the 'rain king'!

hm...

everyone's "hmm...."-ing me! how rude. >.<

(and by how rude i mean how frustrating. meanies!!)

ofcourse he had this smug little smirk on his face.....he was goofy after the race. Well..he is a lil bit diabolic ..just a lil....a good driver no less.

*lol* yeah, i wouldn't go so far as to say he's a bad driver. i just think that fisichella deserved the win... poor guy...

hm..is f1 big in canada?

dunno..as big as to have a circuit i guess.

*starts humming* kimi's taking the title, kimi's taking the title

Why shouldn't it be? It has historic F1 links and don't forget Villeneuve... although everyone else has.

hm...f1....

trying to actually say something there member..eh?


Last season i used to think villeneuve was the most talented in the game..but seeing his evolution now..dunno.
Feling a lil threatened by button i think.

poor little villeneuve... *hugs him* i wish he had a better car. and i wish he hadn't...given up (it sure seems like he has.)

F1 is pretty big, yup yup!! more so in eastern canada, though, where the track actually is. (montreal)

yeah...
well..the car has considerably improoved from the last season....
i doubt you want technical details

cars?????? huh...I'm so confused....oh now I get it....it ttook me awhile to figure out what f1 was

it still sucks, comparatively speaking. >.<

julie... *lol*

(it's ok--most of my friends have no idea what f1 is too. *shakes head* and they're GUYS...it's so much worse!! *lol*)

heh..you americans..baseball and nascar, eh?

..and some of you Bjork fans...:weird:
As you can see this is my first post in the thread.I'm a McLaren fan!just to be known and I hate.....,......Shumacher!That's about it

Narcil is, obviously enough, Canadian.

yup-yup!!! *points to I. AM. Canadian!!* t-shirt. *also points to various villeneuve and air canada grand prix gear.* ^____^

oh boy, oh boy..one more week till the SM gp...new cars, new cars!

yummie.....at least somebody informs us of the events

*pouts* i won't be able to watch it...i'll be too busy cramming for three finals that come RIGHT after that weekend. >.<

after that weekend it's vacancy for me!!!!2 weeks of contiunes plesure....

it's actually measured in GPs...we grab 2 GPs in one holiday..yippie!

pretty boring race overall.
I was sorry to hear abut the schumacher brother's mother.

oh christ..totally shitty race this one.
BOTH mclarens out.....grr
i couldn't stand another ferrari dominated season. Can't wait for the mclaren new car.

last attmept of reviving this thread.

Cars are good... vroom...

I'll ask Narcil to contribute ASAP.

how do you mean "last attempt to revive this thread"???? *mad*

I think the season is over again, michael will win again without much sweat
all about the new F-2003 GA :'(

No...McLaren is yet to release their new car. The old one (enhaced) prooved efficient on the first tracks. The f-2003 looks really good unfortunatley. And those renault minies are comin strong from behind (alonso at least) Good aerodinamics on that one.

Unfortunatley for you..williams isn't doing well at all this season.

I really doubt mclaren will have a good car there, first want to see, then want to believe

the renaults are getting better, yes, getting back to there old gold days is a tad too soon. Alonso is doing well, but only because renault could get the absolute best out of their aerodynamics on those tracks while, ie, BMW took the outside of a turn, they could easily take the more cleaner inside, resulting in faster times

ya, williams isn't doing well, qualifying is a pain for them, racing is even worse, not really the car, because it IS strong, but as they said "some few minor stuff which makes one big problem together"

the aerodinamics on the williams car isn't that good. n'or is the fiability.
mneah..who knows...maybe thir luck will change (i hope not )

i hated this last race (u guessed why)......that damn rookie pizzonia...not starting fast enough...crashing kimi

pizzonia didn't even start, his engine went dead, that's not his fault, nor was it his if the car behind him can jump to the left.
and when that happened, kimi had a big hole to his right, unfortunatly, pizzonia was still standing there

and coulthard hit trulli, he had a good chance of getting out there too, praise yourself a tad lucky

bloody ugly race. I'm having high hopes on the new car

quite entertaining, nice fight in the end for 5th place
unfortunatly ferrari was AGAIN too good

You say that like it's a bad thing, us Ferrari fans quite enjoyed it.

it must be boring, even for ferrari fans, to watch them win, easily, every race...

in any event, i missed the last two races!!!! the one 4 weeks ago cuz i was studying, the one this last weekend cuz i had class on saturday, so sunday FELT like a saturday, n' i slept in!!! >.<!! dang!!! i won't miss the next one, no i won't!! *nod nod*

hmm...i won't have McLaren thrown of the first position.
*smacks forehead* Got to do something!

they'll get off their first position next race already

Narcil, this is the first race Shuey has won this season.

second

Apart from the last one yes. I forgot about that.

must be the age

i know there was a rumour about kimmi passing over to ferrari, replacing barrichello next season. Wich sounds strange, for i didn't know ferrari wants to replace him. And i would ofcourse not aproove this change.
But if it would be true....we would see that there's more to the car in schumy's wins that meets the eye.

I doubt this!
Kimmi is the best McLaren driver they have! They won't sell him to Ferrari
(besides, I thought they wanted Alonso?)

(who..ferrari?)

depends on what kimi's contract says about how long he has to stay there. After that...maybe ferrari offers more. I dunno. I hope not.

yes, ferrari

and I doubt raikonen wants to leave now

hm...f1's are fast and dangerous...

corran: i know. but they were cases of chance, really...i've never seen schumy have such bad luck b4. it rather pleased me.

incidentally, the renault is looking pretty hot now, eh? i heard alonso got second, ne?

yeah....it pleased me too.

I hope kimi doesn't want to leave mclaren also.
But i'm sure he wants to be world champ more than anything...so wich would be the easiest way? You guessed it : a ferrari car.
But he can do it on a McLaren anyway.

You'll see. Schummy's engine will get on fire next race and barrichello will slam into him. SO that's both ferrari's out. And the renaults will...hit a bump or something. And the first two positions for my mclarens. Yup...that's what's gonna happen.
I'm even willing to place the williams on 3 and 4

hm...

and you really hope this?

i know it.

this geting a tad annoying

You noticed?

F1? yes, from time to time

can't there be like a ...mondial vote. 'Who wants schummy out of f1?'

impossible

he recently said he will quit the F1 when his car isn't good enough anymore for competition-driving with the top

lol...he'll probably be dead and burried when ferrari will have such a car.
But i did hear something about him retiring. Must've been a dream though

well, he IS getting older

well..what is he waiting for. If he'd be smart, he'd retire while he's ahead. And i know he's not stupid.

money, I take?

*lol*

i like dexx's prediction. *G* i'd like it even better if montoya somehow managed to take himself out too. (not his team mate though...ralf is cool! )

i like montoya better. But if they can slam into eachother also...fine by me!
I should think he has enough money gathered by now, yerss.
he wants the fame..the bastard.

Shuey will continue while is still the top driver in the world, his reactions may start to lessn with age but I cannot see anyone else being as good as him for a year or 2. Don't forget Barrichello is a VERY good drive, possibly one of the next best after shuey, yet he still cannot beat shuey in the same car.
shuey is going to be remembered as the best driver of all time.

oh c'mon. If all the drivers would have the same car in qualifications...you'd see a major change in the places. In not saying that this should be done.....but he's not THAT much better than some.
And barrichello sure isn't second.

reminder corran:
when the F-2002 Ferrari car got out, Schumacher got it first, Barrichelo needed to wait two GPs!

the bastard...the nerve!!

nerve........uh ok

well..i know i'm not exactly the spelling god julie......eeh...*puppy eyes & discriminated tone*...i try....*sobs*

spelling......spelling doesn't count here....( thank goodness)
here have a tissue and a cookie*hands both to dexx*

well...*sobs again*..th...thank you. I needed a cookie right now.

do you like milk.....milk and cookies are always good

any updates?

yeah..McLaren is still on top. Go Kimi!!

wait till next race

i will.
it's not like williams have a chance of getting out of the mud anyway.

I knew I forgot something!

had to post that the jaguar driver W ...something ... (ya, too early for me today) signed a new 2-year contract with jaguar

wilson?...to early to say if he's any good or not.

looked it up, it's webber

oh..yeah. The little prick.

he must be fairly ok if he gets a new contract

must be...then again...who else can they get?

jos verstappen

When Shumacher went to Benetton they were not very good, he helpded develop the car with the team because he is such a good driver. When he went to Ferrari they were way behind everyone else, using his superior driving and understanding of driving and the technical requirements of the car he has helped develop it to the point where it is a lot better than everything else including McClaren and Williams.

so, we should shoot him?

the word is praise yerssot, the English for lof is praise.

everyday you learn something

still..i say shoot him
What doesn it matter THAT much if the competition is ruined?

or fixed ...
low expactations about the next race

umm..no..mclaren's winning anyway
i've been hearing stuff about bad boy montoya having some speeding problems.

well, mclaren won't win!

i betcha a waffle.

BUT...montoya won't be driving through france for the next 9 months or so....204km/h??..

he mistook the car for his F1 car

hey..the french GP will be sooner than 9 months...will they let him drive?

ya, of course, why not?

his license is suspended. What if a cop pulls him over during the race?

they have to keep up with him first

they'll...road block him with safety cars...there!

The F1 drivers do not need a normal road license to be able to drive in an F1 track as it is private ground and is completely seperated from that. So this will not be an issue.

true, so there you have it dexx

Sunday, the last Austria F1 race in Spielberg will kick off.
In 2004 they will get races in Shangai and Bahrein (I dislike this actually), and they cut european races because of this and of course the stupid tabacads trouble.
The decision is from the retard, named Ecclestone.
Imola, Italy could be the next one on the list ...

oh, and btw ... Montoya got a restriction IN France for 2 months, teh grand prices are no problem

i was joking about him not driving, ya know.
Only two moths....i knew something about 6.
ooh...bahrein. Sounds interesting.

sounds stupid, they just do it for the money, that's all

yes...but new tracks. it might be a good one.

not missing the GP *this* weekend, that i am most certainly am not!!!

(after having missed the last two, i mean...) ^_^

i don't know if i'll be able to catch this one...hope i will.
(what am i saying...no i'm not..i'm having fun either way)

I doubt they will be good Dexx, remember the USA?
looks like nascar, they just added a few turns

managed to catch it afterall. Kimi in two...good enough..still a 2 points lead on schummy....BUT ferrari get's first in constructors position.
A lot of abandons...and i'm feeling sorry for villeneuve...he can't get a chance to proove he's better than button.
I'm anxious to see the new mclaren car...(more and more) but they say it'll be magny cours at least.
Anyway...monte-carlo's up...and that's my favorite track. The pole position is VERY important.


I've been thinking. I'd love to see alonso at mclaren instead of coulthard from the next season.....
Coulthard's....good...but not enough

montoya out, while in the lead

and like I said: the championship is over, ferrari wins again

imho, if you can't start, don't redo the start, kick the one who couldn't start out!

and TWICE, that is.
Well..montoya wouldn't have stayed in the lead..still...bad luck for him. CArs fail at fiability. I hear BMW wants out of williams from next season.

haven't heard that one,
why should they? if anything fails it's the engine, and then it should be williams wanting to get away of bmw

and get who? i heard the commentators today talking about it. It might be just a rumour...but the team isn't going so good this season.

the only good engine out that isn't ferrari is mercedes, but they have an exclusive contract with mclaren, no?

yeah, i think so. though i knew something about a tem having an older mclaren engine. I checked but didn't find anything...so yeah..guess so.


Loved to see schummy on fire today. But that could've been really dangerous...

yeah, an exclusive contract only is about the newest engines
I mean, there's a team which uses ferrari engines, don't know the team, but they're not good at all

yeah..i know about them

minardi?

no...minardi - Cosworth CR3.
hmm..can't seem to find it.

bad choice

heard Jos Verstappen is searching sponsors so mindardi could test in a windtunnel for the first time this season!

GYAHHHH!!!! villeneuve!!! *tears hair out* why?!!! >.<!!!!

(re: today's race, that is... *lol*)

jos the boss?....the flying dutch man!..what need has he for a wind tunnel?

*whispers* Seriously now...they didn't do any wind tunnel tests this season?

because he drives a crappy car?

yeah..villeneuve lost it a little. Hitting stearing wheel and everything...brrr..the anger *shivvers*

well, he did have a lot of bad luck lately

that lil prick button!..not bad driving though

a few years ago, yes

Schuey was on fire today, in more ways than one. Go Michael, go.

I agree fully Corran, have you seen how his head shook when he saw the fire and how fiery he started again? Like "Not even a fire in my fuel can stop me from taking my victory!" I really liked that thing he did, really came over me like that.

And yes I'm a Shumy fan
