2006 F1 Season

[dezz]

how you can dispute his speed in beyond me...

nobody can overtake like the monster!!

did you expect to see much other than his passing moves etc, in a video tribute to him? :

[ctjet]

the monster is the last of a species in current F1... hopefully Alonso and kimi keep up their Suzuka action cause no-one else is gonna do it

two of the best moves in 2005

i think Monty and Kimi had a... cold... partnership at Mclaren. >> THIS << isn't the way teammates should get to know one another before becoming team mates. It couln't of helped the team spirit in the garage anyway...

Hey do any of you guys play f1 on playstation at all just wondering

[Beer Baron]

well what a boring ass race. the first 10 mins were great. the rest was a bit ho-hum. good to see MS punish them just like the good ol days, but a shame massa couldn't do his job properly which meant MS only takes 2 points away from sanchez. that sucks.

webber. well no comment there. his season is going no where. badly in need of a new car/new team.

[ECR033]

I agree - first lap aside, that was one of the most boring races of the season (bad trend developing here...the last few races have been similar).

Highlights of the race...

1) Jenson Button talking up his great race pace in an interview after getting to a fantastic 12th place before retiring (despite the fact that the majority of people he passed were parked in a pit garage) - what an idiot!

2) Next to no mention of Jenson Button during the race.

I feel sorry for Webber. The guy is trying hard and clearly outperforming the car and yet he still can't finish a race in that Williams shitbox. It's sad, but Williams are on a fast track to the F1 scrap heap the way they're going - they couldn't even match the pace of the Torro Rosso's during the majority of the race which is just plain embarassing really.

I just hope for Webber's sake that he gets a seat with a decent team for next year to allow him to demonstrate his true potential as I doubt Williams will be competitive any time soon (if ever again!).

[devos2be]

I agree boring as the start was exciting but at least alonso didnt win for a change.

poor poor webber.Is his contract up next year?

Does any one have any cool f1 pics

Is his contract up next year?

William's option over Webber ends in two weeks, so he is open to go elsewhere if they dont sign him up. But thinking about it, what seat will he realistically get? Ppl say Renault, but i just dont know. Thiessen loves him from their time at Williams, so could replace JV. There is a seat at McLaren, i dont know there are a few seats around, but im a bit concerned if Williams dont retain his services then Webber may lose out in the musical chairs that will be what is Kimi and MS doing

[blackrex]

Actually, one rumour that I have heard regarding Webber is that he'll go to Ferrari to replace Massa.

[Beer Baron]

that would be a dream come true. he would never win a world championship as a no.2 ferrari driver but he would certainly be on for some wins. i reckon he would make a good team mate for MS too. plus they both have massive jaws. match made in heaven.

[Beer Baron]

yeah troy i'm a bit worried too as everyone will be watching to see what happens with MS and kimi, but i think MS will come back next year in ferrari and kimi will stay at mclaren or maybe move to renault. it's a bit hard to guess though. i'd love to see webber in a ferarri or big mac or even god help us a renault.

[Roy]

Well Flavio has come out and said that Webber will be staying at Williams for another year on "our terms".

So hopefully Williams lift their act for poor Mark. By 'our terms" i presume their is good money and performance clauses?!?!?!

[Roy]

So Flavio doesnt want Webber in the Renault...that tells me something.

You would have to think that Flavio has his paws in Kimi, just to piss Ron Dennis off no doubt

There is some talk around that Frank wanted Montoya back at Williams because he could have gotten him pretty cheap. With Wurz and Rosberg at Williams in 2007, Frank stands to save a fair wad of money, as a stalling point for signing Webber has been the scheduled pay increase if his 3rd year option was taken up.

So its not unimaginable that Frank spends the money on engineering when he has two very capable drivers in Wurz and Rosberg...so with Renault wanting Kimi, and most likely to get him, where does that leave Webber?

Red Bull and BMW?????? Most likely BMW as MT rates him highly, but then again if Flavio can swing a Renault engine deal the way of Red Bull then perhaps Webber can get a foot on the door with his old team, a team whom he got a long with really well from the Jaguar days

[ECR033]

Well Flavio has come out and said that Webber will be stayign at Williamns for another year on "our terms".

So hopefully Williams lift thewir act for poor Mark. By 'our terms" i preseume their is goo dmoney and performance clauses?!?!?!

Dissapointing

[Beer Baron]

FUX0R. I was so hopinhg webber could pull together a deal with renault, or mac or fezza. this year of all years held the best opportunity. with alonso moving, juan leaving a seat free, schui not having a rock solid wing man... all those things told me this was webbers best shot at a big dollar big team big budget drive... instead we get another year with the sheltered workshop at grove.

[Roy]

Its not confirmed, just a quote fo Falvios. I suspect Frank Williams has other plans, which may not include Mark, why else the long delay in signing him....pay cut?

[gtr660hp]

News flash...........Montoya is a Fk wit...........that is all
