2006 F1 Season

[Beer Baron]

i feel like having a cry. I so badly wanted to see webber in a top level car. Just for one year even to see if he could really do the business or not. now i guess we will never know if he was capable of a WDC.

I have officially lost interest in this soap opera!!!. Webber to Red Bull ...... oh spare me! Must be something in the Elf fuel they all sniff! As mentioned somewhere else in this post, no customer Ferrari powered car has ever won a world championship race let alone a whole championship. Same for Renault too!

AAAAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh it's all too much!

Villeneuve splits with BMW

Jacques Villeneuve will not return to his BMW race seat, after the team announced on Monday morning that they had agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent

.... the soap opera continues

So all those races Senna won in the Lotus-Renault were a figment of my imagination? Damn.

has anyone been able to find the details of webber contract ??

i have read about 15 articles on the net they all say the same thing and nothing about the details

1,2,3 year ??? points requirements etc etc

[djr81]

Spook, no one is going to tell you how many points need to be gained before the performance related out can no longer be triggered. Webber never even said this is what he did to Frank, after all.

Having said that I would like to know how many years the contract is for - not that it means very much these days, just ask JV.

BTW, did any find out what the hell happenned to Christiano Da Matta. Heard something about him pole axing a dear. Oh dear.

Yeah good point but i would like to know how many years.....

and the main reasons for signing with RBR instead of Renault etc etc

[djr81]

There can be only two reasons.

1: Money.

2: Certainty, ie he will have an ok drive next year.

Just going by what is posted on Webber's official site, im getting the impressing its a one year deal

thats the feeling i am getting as well ??? all the articles i have found state that MW wil drive for RBR in 2007 nothing about 08 or anything else....... strange

how about this................. flav wants webber but cant let kimi slip through either.

fisi is usless as tits on a bull but has a contract for next year.

webber goes to a Renault powereed RB for a year then a clause in his contract allows him to move to Renualt "if flav still wants him" in 2008.

this leaves spot from them to still get kimi and have webber the following season.

if they had signed webber now who would have partnered him in 08 ??? no one as good as kimi i bet .

what you guys think???

[ctjet]

depends...

how long was the contract Fisi signed? wasnt it a couple years? Renault is holding on for kimi but i dont think it'll happen... Hopefully Kovelinen gets a 1 year stint at Renault and then webber moves over to take his spot IF Kovelinen doest cut the mustard.

If you remeber Fisi said that he "guarenteed" that next year he would have a Finn as a team mate... Which means If renault dont get Kimi than Kovelinen is in for sure.

Renault will be taking a massive hit in the driver market if they dont get Kimi. And with Alonso gone, nobody else really comes close to those two

interesting read

i pretty sure that fisi only has one year left

[ctjet]

its strange that they assume Massa isnt going to miss out... Nobody really wants him, so why assume Micheal is going instead of Massa?

[gtr660hp]

Lets hope 1 year for Webber at RBR and then a Renault seat in 2008 when Fisi pisses off

[ctjet]

Just found out that Fisi only has a one year contract extention with Renault

Giancarlo Fisichella has agreed a new deal with Renault that will keep him at the team until the end of next year. The Italian's current contract with the French outfit runs out at the end of this season but he has now penned a one-year extension........

THANK FCUKING GOD!!!!!!!!!

Webber is looking good for a 2008 Renault drive... but knowing his luck, the typical F1 life cylce will take place and Renault will suck by then

That doesnt count cause Renault didnt have a team then, they were just engine suppliers.

[djr81]

Sorry, but they did. The last iteration of the Renault team finished up in 1985 - at the same time the JPS Lotus Renault was doing the rounds with some bloke called Ayrton Senna driving it.

[ctjet]

who is this Ayrton Senna you speak of?

[djr81]

Dunno, some bloke from Brazil. They reckon he used to be able to drive a bit. You know, back in the day when men were men & F1 cars still had slicks.

[ctjet]

he cant be very good... all i ever hear about is some racing driver guy nowdays who "makes shoes" or something to that effect
