2006 F1 Season

[gtr660hp]

Good to see Massa get a win, good to see Shumi still has a bit of fight in him. Good to see also Alonso still doesnt crack under pressure.

My prediction....Shumi will announce his retirement at the Monza GP

[Duncan]

also good to see Weber was stuck in 5th place for a while but managed to work his way back down to 10th by the end of the race

[Beer Baron]

yeah, if he was heavy on fuel, bringing him in for a pit stop at that safety car was a bad move. I would have much rather have seen them roll the dice and leave him out.

same with schuey. why didn't they leave massa on track and bring scheuy in, then bring in massa next lap (if still under SC)? I think that desicion may have cost MS this years chamionship as there is no doubt if they had done that, they could have got MS ahead of massa, with alonso in 3rd.

awesome race though, but a shame webber went from 5th to nowhere.

[Roy]

He was looking ok for a few points. Doesnt it suck that 2 seasons a go Williams were tlakign about race wins. Now they hope for some points. And Rosberg again had a shocker. Not really his fault, but again he was nowhere when bad luck struck

[Beer Baron]

yeah webbers future is looking bleak all 'round. nothing doing for the rest of this year. currently 15th in the championship. driving for a soft drink company next year... it's enough to make you want to cry.

[Roy]

Red Bull were nowhere as well on the weekend. Lets just hope that the lack of development and pace this year translates to a focussed effor ton next years far more competitive car.

Im going to make a prediciton. Webber will be on the podium before the end of the year! Anyone care for a friendly wager?

thats exactly what i was thinking last night. Red Bull seem to be doing as badly as Willams atm... so why change? But maybe Newey and his underlings have written off this years piece of crap mobile, and are soley focused on making a huge leap forward next year

webber on the podium...

what are we betting for?

You might as well make some money in a wager on Webber......at least then he is of some use....next year Webber will be nowhere just like this year

Why thankyou........but if anyone was to back Webber for a podium this year then they would have some pretty good "odds" to loose their money, beside when he does finnish a race he's still a lap down!

But i do wish him all the best at RBR!

[Roy]

Well, im going to have $50 on Webber for a podium at Japan. Though i also see them as a real chance to be on the podium in Belgium.

Time will tell

It was another great race, that's 2 in a row now that I have watched entirely. Looks like 'turn 8' let down Schuey all day.

Anyone have any requests of short clips from either qualifying or race?

I would like to see alonso's first few laps as he was off the planet with cold tyres trying to keep up.

Actually the most interesting point (IMHO) is this: Will the big mistake that Schumacher made, ie going off the track in the mid race cost him the world championship.

[ECR033]

What I don't understand is why Schumacher didn't back the field up under the safety car before he pitted to allow Massa to get ahead and pit before he got there...at least that way Schumi and Alonso would've pitted at the same time and he would have had a chance to get out ahead of Alonso.

I recall Mclaren doing this a year or so ago with Montoya and Kimi.

In any case, good to see Massa get a win under his belt. He was consistently quick all weekend and deserved his victory.

[Shell]

how cute was he in the drivers interviews... almost in tears.. I thought that was so sweet! ok maybe just a girls point of view

on another note my best friend has just moved to Canada and lives in one of the closest houses to the GP circuit... I am so there next year!

[Amaru]

Just bought my tickets for the Melbourne F1 as they went on sale this morning (ring Ticketek, cant book on the net without a code).

In the Senna stand on the far right hand side at the front, so can see the last 2 corners and down pit straight, woo!

Anyone else heading down to see first hand what Webber can do in a soft-drink can with wheels?

Sounds like you got yourself in quite the good possie there.

Would love to go but don't think it will happen, That soft drink can with wheels is a very very very very rich man, well he has 2 teams on the grid doesn't he and a shite load of sponsorship everywhere else in the world! Webber will definatly beat DC as the old box jaw is def on his way out!

[Beer Baron]

i will probably be there. got the 'buy some tickets' invite about 4 weeks ago. They always send us one early for the first release. will most likely be in the brabham stand, inside of turn 1.
