[Shrub32]

if they do happen to win a race, be sure to keep the photo...being so rare it could be worth something...

Ferrari fan bullshit right there

lol, did you happen to read all the posts surrounding it? god i hope you're another mclaren fan.

[Shrub32]

yeah i did, you got sucked in pretty easily but saying that shit comes easy this year, where was it last year? or the 20 years before 2000? Bandwagons are full of Ferrari red!

good on you

if i got sucked into what ivan was trying to get me to do...i would've flipped out

instead i sat here laughing at the fact that he's so much of a die hard mclaren fan, that he doesnt care that his team got beaten by 2 other teams, just that ferrari got beaten....he's a pretty hard core mclaren fan ay

How boring was the Silverstone race? And it was all pumped-up to be a nice three-way battle between Kimi, Michael and Alonso.

Renault are simply unbeatable at the moment. You know Alonso isn't hitting full pace when he's got a 10-12 second lead. He just maintains it. So if Mike or Kimi manage to keep up with him, it won't be for long.

Not that I swing towards any one team - I've been watching F1 for too long to have favorites. But I can tell when one team has it hands down, and that's the case for the moment.

One interesting point however is to think about where Renault was 2-3 years ago (e.g. nowhere). Now look at them- they're unstoppable. Makes you wonder which team will be next to follow suit? You might laugh at some of the backmarker teams now, but you would have been chuckling at Renault some time ago as well.

Interesting to bear in mind...

Renault are Benetton...so nto sure i would be laughing at the teams performances over the years...or the fact that Renault powered Williams to its last championships

dezz and ctjet, please cease posting OT. this is getting old. this thread is here to discuss the 2006 F1 season, not whether or not one of you has a better team to support. it's bringing the thread down, so please stop it.

[Duncan]

OMG a sober beer baron!

[Paradizzle]

I hope Sato makes his own team next year, he is the next big thing. TEAM SATO!! His next big step is keeping the car on the track.

[azzr32]

go alonso what a champ!!!!

he better enjoy it cause he wont see a podium finish again after this year!!

not when he is going to mclaren

[Beer Baron]

ohh, harsh words azz! I dont know what it is but i just dont like alonso? tall poppy syndrome maybe? it was funny though, 2005 at melbourne and you couldnt find a renault supporter for love or money, 2006 and it was a sea of blue and yellow... mmm everyone does love to be on the winning team!

[azzr32]

im really a david coulthard fan!!!

and the best thing that could of happened to him was being dropped by Mclaren.

even though he aint doing the greatest.

its amazing how many people follow the winning team!

i guess thats why so many people follow MS cause if he isnt winning he is dam close.

Ah not me-Ive been Tifosi forever. Always been in the Red army since i was 5yrs old-lol

What has Webber got to do to finish a race??? He must have broken a mirror cause he is in the middle of some serious bad luck

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

I think Webber will get there and so will Cosworth if they keep there heads down and steer clear of all the internet forums saying he should tell Williams to piss off haha! Like people have said where was Renult 3 years ago, they had reliability issues but had promise, thats what Williams has now, so heres to hoping Webber can get up there casue not being biased I think he is one of the very best drivers in that series, as good as the MS, Alonso's, or Kimi's, started to prove that at Monaco to, damn car!!!

[azzr32]

totally agree i think webber has what it takes to win, and will be great to see a aussie up there with the best where he should be.

[Roy]

So, i wait to see if Williams have signed a Toyota deal. If so, who is your money on goign to Toyota?

Willit be Wurz or Rosberg farmed out to Toyota? I have a sneaking feeling that Rosberg will end up somewhere else next year. I first thought it would possibly be Renault, but now not so sure, perhaps it will be Toyota.

And if Williams are to give up the Cossie powerplants, i would so love it to be for a Renault engine. Problem is it wont likely happen as Renault will be charging a pretty penny for the customer engine, something Frank wont like. But they have recent history together...but im dreaming.

I still say Rosberg will vacate hsi seat for Wurz

[Roy]

Well just read that Fisi has been confirmed at Renault next year...i think he is very lucky to retain his seat

[Beer Baron]

please let williams stick with cosworth i really think in the next few years cosworth V8s will be their 'ace in the hole'. buying customer engines off a factory F1 team is a sure fire way to get yourself pegged between 10th and 5th but never any higher.

[Johnny Cash]

I agree with Beer Baron, I don't like Alonso either. Maybe for the same reason too (tall poppy syndrome), or that it's because he keeps on winning and makes it look easy.

Maybe if the winner of each race varied somewhat, it would allow us to pick a favorite and go with him. I'm a Kimi man myself...

[Roy]

Well i use to like Alonso, he seemed to be a good style of charactoer when he was on the cusp. In 2005 i was walkign around the Aus GO wanting to buy Renault gear, or RBR gear and couldnt find any. 18 months later im glad i couldnt as the team have turned out to be a bunch of c0ck knockers...even Fisi has gone bad '

Oh well, crosses fingers that Tom Walkinshaw willk get back into Renault and turn it back into a team i like
