Roy Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Williamss appear to be going backwards, and look like struggling to score points:( Toyota, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault all looking strong, then you have Honda who are sitting out the next few GPs...more work to do:( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72829-can-weber-get-up-tonight/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota have never won an F1 race in their history...Think you may have been referring to Renault - in which case, I agree with you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72829-can-weber-get-up-tonight/#findComment-1339263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Qualifying isn't really Webbers weak point, its his racing. He does enough to hold onto a points scoring position but then makes 2-3 silly mistakes every race that loses him those 5 positions that take it from a 1-2 point scramble to 'just another finish'.

Should have said a Toyota win - I reckon Trulli might get up. I'm not a Toymotor fan, just want to see another team win one for a change and make things a bit interesting!

Smurf Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I think it will be between Fonso and liddle Kimi. Apparently Kimi was doing it easy. Toyota? maybe, though Trulli in the past has had Webber tendancies, that is, qualified well and dropped off during the race. At this point they are so close in times that it is hard to see if anyone has an advantage (although Kimi stated he lost around 0.5 sec in the first sector). I hope Webber can get it together for the race. Apart from anything, it will just get the critics off his back. I'm sure he's got it in him. He's one of the quickest over one lap. During the race, does he just push too hard or is it a concentration thing?

Roy Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Are we being a little too hard on Webers racing? I dont think he deserves that sort of wrap, he normally races well. This season it was only the last race where he went backwards...and thats because he couldnt clear the Toyota early in the race. I think he is one of the better racers myslef, i dont think Williams are at the top of their game at the moment...we will see how they go over the next month of two, but it would appear from practices problems it wont be a weekend to remember. My money is on Kimi tonight, with MS 2nd and Alonso 3rd Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72829-can-weber-get-up-tonight/#findComment-1339518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 You are probably right Roy. I try not to be too hard on Webber and still hope for some good results in the future. I guess alot of people were looking forward to this season with Williams, expected alot and to date have been disappointed. Not disappointed in relation to Webber's driving necessarily, but the net result so far, which I know has a lot to do with the car. For some reason I don't think MS will be up there in the race. Don't know why I think that. He may just surprise me, like he did last race. That was awesome.

Roy Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Im from the other end of the spectrum. I wasnt expecting a whole lot form either Weber or Williams, based purely on the results of the past two seasons where they had long term drivers, same engineering staff etc etc. This season there have been a few infastructure changes, so that combined with patchy performace past two seasons... Well i was expecting most GPs to be like the last, and just quietly its good to see Weber so far showing a bit more promise then Heidfield, as quietly i was thinking Heidfield was going to show up our boy:) Glad to see i was wrong:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72829-can-weber-get-up-tonight/#findComment-1339658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
inissane Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I was actually surprised by how well Heidfeld has gone compared to Webber, he has out qualified him a couple of times now but I think Heidfeld is starting from the back or something in this one? in F1 Webber, has usually seemed to qualify well, start poorly then drive solidly (generalisation but still, bloody Fisichella running into him the other race ). Hard to say whats the car and whats him, but I think when he gets the setup right and his starts and racecraft right I dont see why he wont start winning races.....hopefully Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72829-can-weber-get-up-tonight/#findComment-1339701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach1 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Webber is on the front row. I hope his race pace can be as good as his qualifing tonight. Webber has to be possibly the best qualifier on the grid. Not that that really counts for much when it comes to the racing.

Silver-Arrowz Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Fingers cross Webber don't bog down on launch. I want to see him brake super late into the first corner! It's SO hard to chose who to barrick for. Webber cause he's an aussie. Kimi cause I'm a maclarens man. And Toymotor cause I own one now... Why couldn't Ron Dennis sign Webber up and I buy a merc??? I'm such a cheap b@stard! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72829-can-weber-get-up-tonight/#findComment-1339913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach1 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Yeah, i have a dilemma with Webber and Mclaren as well. I have worked for mercedes benz for 6 years and i get alot of Mclaren merchandice and i get fed alot of Mclaren propaganda yet my fav driver (Webber) drives for my sworn enemy (BMW).
