please let it be a good team. I'll only settle for: renault, maclaren or ferrari or maybe BAR. redbull/torro rosso/super aguri/toyota just wont cut it i'm afraid. he deserves a stint in a team that at least has a sniff of race winning performance.

Well, thinking it through.

McLaren - Bad year this year & Alonso as your partner for next year. Would you want to go there?

Ferrari - No 2 to some bloke called Schumacher. In any case Kimi looks to be headed that way, so is there actually room? Not sure if Webber would have enough clout to negotiate a good contrct with Ferrari.

BAR - Done nothing, going nowhere. Plus I think both drivers are signed for next year. Jenson has to pay Frank's bill somehow.

Nup, Webber has to have something sorted for Renault. Otherwise I am sure he would have re-signed with Frank.

As an aside I desperately hope this doesn't mark another point in a Williams decline. It worries me that they be headed in the same direction as Lotus, Brabham, Tyrrell, Jordan...

Frank has always been a straight kind of a person. Patrick too. (Actually I was going to call him a stand up kind of guy, lucky I didn't) Look at the way he looked after H-H Frentzen all those years ago when he didn't have to. (& people here reckon Mika was a dog....)

I am sure the rhetoric coming out of the Webber camp would have been pretty savage had Williams done the dirty on him.

lol stand up guy... hehe

yeah HHF and mika are now both racing in DTM and HHF is pounding mika from what i've seen.

Sorry bout that.

I have this reluctance to compare drivers when they have quit F1 & are racing in other, lesser categories. Primo example is Alan Jones. In the Williams he was absolutely first rate. In a touring car, well to be honest most of the time he never really looked like he gave a shit. Bathurst '96 was the only time I can remember him ever kicking arse.

He did well in the Seto Fords. Class Act!.

The two year Ferrari deal was all smoke, Ferrari denied it, MS ppl denied it. Though i dont doubt that they will try and sign someone like Kimi or Mark. If they get them then great, they weill replace Massa. If MS retires then Massa can hang around.

Ahhhhh yes but did you ever see him drive Alan Hamilton's Porsche 935? Absolutely flogged all comers including several other 935's.

lol, that could be cool. nice to see some fresh meat at ferrari. it's been the schumi show for so long now.

I would still love Kimi and Mark at Maclaren. Second choice is Mark and anyone at renault.

Remind me about the Frentzen thing again. He didnt work out with Williams from memory. I recall he was miuserable and Head didnt have anything kind to say?

It never really got completely clarified, but the supposition is that Frank signed HH up before his big accident at Monaco when he put his Sauber into the barrier (out of the tunnel, from memory). At the time Hill was a bit wobbly & HH was the coming man. Frank stood by the contract even after Hill had won his world championship & it was obvious the HH was not as good as everyone thought he was. (Did good work at Jordan, however).

BTW, I loved Coulthard's recollection of Patrick's pre race briefing before his first race:

Patrick "Well, good luck then".

Mclaren havent been that stron this season. Last season the car was unreliable, this year pretty slow. They have lost a lot of lead technical ppl.

And im curious to see how the end of the year goes. You are only as good as your last race and the Williams wasnt too bad, quicker then Renault and McLaren and BAR.

Webber in an interview commented on why did Alsonso leave Renault, i wonder>>>

Yep, class act. Stole his bosses major sponsor, the Stone Brother's from DJR & set himself up on the Gold Coast. Bathurst 95 was an unhappy one for Glenn Seton for so many reasons. Lost the race when the engine built by his dad went bang with 9 laps to go. Had to sack his Dad because he couldn't afford to keep the engine development in house. How would you have liked to have had that conversation?

With a bit of luck Williams' form at Monaco can translate to Hungary....

Webber could not win a chook raffle in a pub let alone an F1 race in that sht box..and now wait for it he is leaving Williams to go where???..some sources are saying RBR....oh for fk sake Webber piss off out of F1 and go to Chump..I mean Champ Car where all the other nobodys go.

On the news last night, they were saying Renault..........but i still don't know, think thats what all the peeps are saying, and well i hope thats right for sure, because he still really needs to prove himself in a car that can a) finnish races consisantly and b) win races. He will be staying F1 thats for sure, if its Renult or Red Bull either way!

and yeh he won't be winning a race this year thats for sure........ with Alonso and M.Schu on fire ATM with a splash of Kimi in there it would be against ALL odds!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
