Formula 1 Is Back

[TALBO]

That's fair then. They both got 4 wheels though...

you can look into the shuey thing a little more if you want, he tested a late 07 model ferrari with current year spec tyres and was consistently lapping several seconds under current times (not lap record times)

yes, that could because of the car or his neck?

but, shuey is known for his ego and being a champion. he is not going to want to come back if;

the car isnt up to pace or he isnt up to pace.

im leaning towards him not wanting to race as he is worried about being beaten by previous back markers (mark, jensen, ruebens). but meh, id love more than anything to see the man in a competetive car running it up the front he is a legend after all!

he prob would have said no after the first 70 laps or so that he did if he was worried about his EGO.....after those 70 laps his neck was sore for a week....then came the second 70 laps or so and he didnt pull up good either.....i watched his press conference and he was genuinely disappointed.....there is no doubt about his LEGENDARY status either....i would be happy to see schummy race regardless of the results he gets as those points wont be helping MASSA.....

maybe his ego made him want to actually be that quick so he had another dig? not saying its his skill, the man would be a front runner in motoGP if he wanted but maybe there is disapointment in the car?

ive just learnt watching F1 to over annalyse everything, especially when it comes to big teams such as mclaren & ferrari lol.....

yeh like you said, it would be great just to see him out there again, charging into the first corner!

[Krishy]

Badoer has already said that done expect much out of him and he will be treating it like a test session......i mean come on.....put Marc Gene in the seat if Badoer isnt going to be 100% racing all the time....

[rhys5169]

LOL he cant afford to treat it as a test season, this is his shot at the big leagues

[sniper2005]

lol

[TALBO]

Great effort by Fisi regardless of weight and a big positive for Toyota and Jarno. Should be a good race and I for one am predicting the winner to come from what would normally be considered an outside chance.

[Fishpaste~]

been an interesting couple of weeks, and i agree with you about a big change on the top of the podium tonight, tho i think kimi will be there somehwere.

just hope those teams pit crew can stand up to the pressure of fighting for the win (unlike mclaren apparently??!?!)

also, good on rubens for still fighting for the drivers title, looks set to take another chunk outa buttons lead tonight!!

[Krishy]

Oh what a fantastic race (of course it is fantastic...Ferrari won ) Force India IMHO should have won the GP last night....KERS was the only thing that kept Kimi infront of Fisichella....he drove an exciting race....but what about Kimi's start.....Barichello hit antistall and was stuck on the line while Kimi blasted off and took a whole new way of taking turn 1.....onto the run off and after the safety car restart he managed to get infront of Fisi by the power of the magic button lol.....

Brawn are in a bit of stife specially after having Button DNF and Barichello just limp it home with his car on fire in the pitlane after the race......There are rumors that Fisi might be going to Ferrari for the next race in the championship.....that would be a lot better then having Look at me Bad goer at the wheels....cannot wait for Massa to come back...i think they had 6 DNF's

[TALBO]

KERS is available to any of the teams that choose to develop and implement it.

Forza Ferrari - Great drive by Kimi and also great drives from both Fisi and Vettel

[Fishpaste~]

pritty sure i called that victory... if only i put some cash on it!!! =P

how about that force india? that thing was a beast around there!! not sure kimi would have got the win if it wasent for that restart!

lol at webber getting webbered XD unless something crazy happens, i think brawn will take both titles comfortably from here

[Krishy]

Kimi was flying at the start of the race....so not sure if the restart made much of a difference but when they changed tyres is when it made the difference....kimi was struggling to keen Fisi behind him

[rhys5169]

massive congrats to fisi! good on kimi aswell, always liked him as a driver, be interesting to see if he does indeed go to mclaren next year. somethings got to give as alonso has confirmed he is at ferrari and kimi has said he still has a contract there so :s

also mark webbers lolly pop man needs a bullet, that dipshit has f**ked him over too many times....

[TALBO]

alonso has confirmed he is at ferrari

Haven't heard it's confirmed yet, got a link?

[rhys5169]

sorry mate i haven't looked for a link, im just going off what both aussie and international comentators said during the race? i dare say its just strong word of mouth amongst the pits that they are running off.

there wouldnt be a press release untill they can fit kimi in somewhere

[TALBO]

Yeah I heard them all talking on the weekend about it but have seen nothing to confirm although 'they' say it will be confirmed in Monza

[Krishy]

massive congrats to fisi! good on kimi aswell, always liked him as a driver, be interesting to see if he does indeed go to mclaren next year. somethings got to give as alonso has confirmed he is at ferrari and kimi has said he still has a contract there so :s

wow wow wow easy there tiger.....mark webbers lollypop man did the correct thing by releasing him early....Webber just didnt get traction....got bogged down and hence that have the Nicko the time to get side by side to him....at which point it became RBR's fault as they should have waited.....Webber and Nicko were fighting for race position....and they were evenly matched as well...plus webber was infront of Nicko....didnt wanna loose position in pitlane...

There is also rumors that Kimi is going Rally driving next year in Finland....Alonso is most likely going to move into the Ferrari outfit....Kimi prob go more rallying....Massa gets back into his seat...well hopefully.....would love to see Alonso and Massa at Ferrari....

[TALBO]

Ferrari are also pushing to have 3 of their cars on the grid next year, looks as though McLaren are keen too

[Fishpaste~]

not sure why they dont enter a new team each??

dont the get a higher rev limit of 20k as well for a new team? =P

running a 3rd car doesnt seem anywhere near as complicated as running a "2nd team" =\
