2006 F1 Season

yeah Willaims have lost form no doubt-but they represent something the big factory teams dont-real racers who follow a great leader (Frank) bit like Ferrari b4 they were bought by Fiat in 1969. Ive always had a soft spot for them for that reason. Renault(the company-not the team) are only there for the exposure and world advertising value-They own a large chunk of Nissan to , and look whats happened to Nissan since-boring NA cars for the masses-no heart and soul left in Nissan thanks to renault

i think there is no doubt that the williams is fast this year. not championship winning, but good enough to be on the podium. webber is driving bloody well, he just cant get the reliabilty he needs to finish races and score points....

[benm]

The Williams may have ok straight line speed, but I don't think it has the 'full lap package' of the Top 3 teams.

[Roy]

Who are the Top 3 teams?

Ok Renault & Ferrari. But Honda or McLaren? Id say Williams desrve the title of 3rd quickest car, just that reliability is hurting.

That said...Ferrari are lookign good after practice...fancy beign quicker then the 3rd drivers of BMW, Williams and Honda int he first practice session

[benm]

I believe the top 3 teams are Ferrari, Renault and McLaren (just having an average year so far).

Williams look promising in almost every race for a 3rd-5th place but either a driver or mechanical fault puts them out of the race. I'd rather Williams finish 12th in every single race for an entire season than hammer around in 5th for 15 laps then pull out with a mechanical fault.

On another note, I believe the points system should be extended to 12th place. A driver could finish 12th in every single race of an entire season and get 0 points yet Webber could finish 8th in 1 race then crash every other race yet still be higher in the championship table, how is that fair? Maybe this extension could apply in 2008 when the extra team starts up...

prob is with that sort of thinking that id doesnt urge you to go for win... i can imagine a lot of teams settling for average results. it would be a divide of the top teams going for wins and a second tier group fighting for scraps.... everybody should be fighting for wins

[Frink]

thats why the old system was good. the best team was really well rewarded with 4 points over their closest rival in 2nd place. renault seemed to settle into a 2nd place 'rythm' towards the end of last year. was a little disappointing....

[ctjet]

the points system needs a real overhaul. the current system doesnt have a far enough distane for placings and the old one didnt reward enough people....

the might have to start giving 20 for a win and work there way down from there to about 10th place

[ctjet]

well as wrapped as i am that renault just smashed ferrari into a million pieces, let me be the first to say....

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz.....

lol, i didnt see 1 ferrari fan post a word mate....real ferrari fans (like myself) followed them before they started dominating, and still follow them now...alonso is a great driver, and his team is hooked up at the moment. no one team can rule for ever.

when alonso leaves, and all the teams are on bridgestones, we'll see where renault end up...

[ctjet]

you dont have to justify your ferrari fan status to me.... its like me saying i've hated ferrari since before they dominated... do you care?

not just you internet poeple, think outside the box for a couple seconds.... I been giving it to ALL ferrari poofs out there!! last week at work i had to cop it sweet, but i dont mind, cause its fun!! This week i rock up to work and suddenly certain people were very quiet. But they shall not escape my unrelenting ridicuel and finger pointing!! hahahahahahahaha
