2006 F1 Season

[Paradizzle]

Was a great race!! lots of passing, good battle between Alonso and Shuey. Webber should be happy with the result, Rosberg looks very promising. Rosbergs fastest lap gives hope to Williams for the future, hopefully their cars will remain that fast throughout the whole season.

[MONTOYA]

Very nice race to start off the season.Looks like were going 2 see some really tough races this year.Rosberg was amazing and will be hot propety by seasons end and Webber will have his hands full

[Frink]

what a great race! well worth the wait. the lap times were good, the passing was great and most teams got to the finish. cant wait till next weekend.....

yeah it appears rosberg may be a superstar in the making. Webber did very well and i thought his 6th was a pretty good drive. Kimis race was outstanding and i was pissed that alonso got past MS. if cars had jumped out of mikes way like they did for the bithcing alonso then schuey would have had those vital tenths to get past the bath dodging wanker. how about him carrying on with his hands out of the cockpit and getting on the radio to bitch about blue flags. fark me, often the car was about half the length of the straight ahead of him. knob.

let's hope webber can stay on top of rosberg for the rest of the year. and that schuey is just getting warmed up.

WHAT?? Are u kidding me??? Schumi is the worst culprit of all time with sort of behaviour... he waves his f*king hand around like "Hey, 7 time WC coming thro, get the f*k outta my way!!", wat a dick

[benm]

Not a bad first race of the '06 season. Good to see Schue back up the top, I thought he had it in the bag until that last pitstop. It appears Webber is up to his usual stuff, spend the entire race chasing back the coupla guys that get past him in the first corner rather than actually progressing anywhere up the order.

I actually had abit of trouble picking out some of the cars (Williams vs Sauber etc) and was getting confused who was who.

I will have some short divx's clips uploaded soon.

[Duncan]

blah blah blah, its the driver that should be getting past slower cars, not a blue flag

agreed, the 'SMWBH: small man with a big head' (alonso) is very annoying. he was waving his hands like dog getting its balls chopped off. I wish MS got past him aswell. The cars that were in front of SMWBH were like 400 metres in front of him, what an asshole.

[MONTOYA]

Well i was rapt alonso got past MS.Alonso had the better car all day and you could see he was going to get past.

And how about Massa,lol lost it under breaks and almost t-boned Alonso,lol.What a dick.He pulls a lucky lap in QUALI and everyones saying hes a gun and thats why hes in a ferrari.Look forward to seeing him write-off a few Ferraris this year.

[Roy]

Its one race. I will wait until they get back to Europe before readign too much into anything. Massa didnt seem to have done that bad a job, hell even everyone golden boy binned it on the first corner and was lucky not to be out of the race.

Klien gets my amn of the match award, unles DC was having problems that im not aware of

Are you for real? lol.Klien?

Raikkonen was the star of the show and Rosberg was his side kick.Now theres a driver line up!

I still carnt belived he set the fastest lap on debute.That is going to be talked about for years to come.

Also how early did Webber break going into the first corner he would hace been right up there but lost out mybe 3 vital postions.And like someone just said spent the rest of the race playong catch up. Im sure he'll get em next time.Not a bad drive.

I was expecting a little more from the Hondas.Lets see at Sepang they should be qiuck there.

fair enough everyone has their opinion, but to me alsonso will always be a wanker. he carried on like a girl in those laps before his pitstop, and that was what got him the vital tenths to get just ahead of MS for turn 1. MS was a bit like that too in his day, but generally when things were tough he got on with driving, not bitching. as much as it pains me i must admit alonso is very quick, but i still think MS outclasses him in so many ways.

what troy said is so true. it's just the first race. give me three more then we should be able to see how the season is shaping up.

Massa did a great Quali-luck or no luck-P2 not bad way to start the season. He is no superstar but maybe with a bit race craft(Rather than testing all the time)he will be exactly what Ferrai want him to be >>No. 2 to Mr M Schumi-The 1 min pit stop didnt help his cause either-That pit stop looked like Ferrari in the bad old days-guys yelling and waving there hands with a flury of Ital swearing

With the Massa lock up well... guess its hard for us to know or understand braking in an F1-these things stop harder than anything on earth(exept when Sato hits a wall or someonelse) They even out stop a road car under full braking just by lifting the throttle at 300km/h-something us mere mortals will never experience

[blind_elk]

If Rosberg managed fastest lap, then clearly Williams has the pace (it's not like Alonso and Schumaker didn't have oportunities to set fastest lap). If Williams has that much pace, why the hell did Webber only manage to finish in 6th place?

[benm]

Webber is only a 5-10th place driver, that's all he is good for. He has the talent to hold that position but doesn't have the talent of say Alonso or Kimi to go and hunt down the cars ahead and actually make a go of it.

In the 2005 season Webber averaged 7th place every race (36pts) and Alonso averaged 2nd place every race.

I can see Rosberg actually beating Webber in the Championship. Webber will have consistent 5-10th places, where as Rosberg will have afew 3-5ths and just as many out of the points finishes.

Argue all you want, one thing is clear - we'll all be watching it again this weekend!

[Frink]

williams are still coming to terms with the bridgestone tyres. thats why it takes them a bit to get going in a race. they dont have the data that ferrari do.....

i agree with benm, webber is good, but he's not great. it takes him a while to get his brain into gear during a race, the opposite of trulli, who starts great, then fades. webber is also one of the worst starters on the grid. almost every race, he seems to loose a spot or 2 or more from the grid, then has to waste time trying to recover those positions. i thought he'd have it down pat by now. oh well......

im a big webber fan, i just find these "im-perfections" a little annoying :

I'd rather see Webber go out of the race on the first corner from actually having a go (at either holding his grid position or trying to grab another spot or 2) than playing it extremely safe in the first corner and then waiting for the cars infront to pit to actually move up a spot.

He reminds me of Glen Seton. Always in the race, always getting a point or 2, but never ever anything spectacular... just making up numbers.

god damn thats pretty spot on, as much as i hate to admit it his performances so far in his career (in F1) have been very Glen Seton like. Bastad, i hate Glen Seton! Webber is awesome, hopefully he comes out and goes nuts this season.

[Roy]

I was never a huge fan of Webbers, but seeinh him alongside Nick last year tells me he is quicker then i ever gave him credit for.

My 2c...keep an eye out...he will bring home tyhe goods...and will out do Rosberg, even though he looks like an evolving talent
