Beer Baron Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 what a race. I was heartbroken that schuey couldn't get it done, but deep down i did not expect it. there were so many times this year he (or his team) gave away easy points. like the time he had to queue behind massa in the pits (big mistake, should have brought schuey in first, then massa next lap), the time he got penalised for the quali incident at monaco (i'm still not convinced it was intentional, and even it if was I think he was treated too harshly), we have the mistake whilst pushing hard at melbourne in the latter stages of the race, we also have the blow up at japan and the fuel pick-up problem in brazil quali. if even 1 or 2 of those had fallen schueys way I have no doubt he would have been able to tople alonso. it's just a shame that his long run of excellent luck deserted him when he needed it most. BUT even without his 8thWDC and without a final victory he went out like a true champion. showed everyone that he was class of the field by setting fastest lap, after fastest lap. he also showed kimi how lucky he is not to be his teamate next year. i was hoping the FI GP corp might appeal to the race director to extend the race by 20 laps lol. one more stint and enough time for schuey to catch and race alonso, then we could really see what's what. he nearly got there but 19th to 4th was a magic effort none the less, and i'm very glad i used my DVD recorder to record it cause I will definately be watching it again. We will miss you schuey. love him or hate him he brought a lot of interest to a sport we love, and he was great to watch pretty much every time he stepped into an F1 car.

Muz Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) F1 is basically soap opera for blokes. If you want a movie about grand prix racing try Grand Prix. Hopelessly melodramatic in the 60's tradition, but worth a look.Muz, hate to dissuade you but BE doesn't own the rights to Brabham any more. Nothing wrong with the rumour other than that. Heard the one about Colin Chapman coming back from exile in South America to reform Team Lotus? Young Andretti will be driving for him. Cosworth motors. Just knew you would accept the bait DJR. Yeah I wasn't too sure who owns what now as Brabham have been out of it for awhile and is Colin ("hmmm obviously to heavy .... it didn't break") Chapman really coming back to F1. Do ya reckon the old partnership of Lotus and Senna (Ayrton not Bruno) will be reformed? cheers Muz Edited October 25, 2006 by Muz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/71/#findComment-2614462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrex Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Colin Chapman coming back to racing would be a greater feat than Jesus coming back from the dead, Colin passed away from a heart attack in December 1982.

Says who??? Has that been conclusively proven beyond all shadow of doubt? Oh and I suppose now your going to try and tell me that Ayrton has not been on an extended enforced holiday due to the fact that he was ruining F1 and wouldn't let anyone else win. Gees, LOL Didn't really think that question would get any takers at all:-) Edited October 25, 2006 by Muz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/71/#findComment-2615202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrex Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeh, I kind of quickly glanced over your reply, and didn't fully take it in. I couldn't be bothered to change it afterwards though.

djr81 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Can we team Ayrton up with Ronnie Peterson? Have JPS sponsor them again? Use a proper ground effects chassis? Oh, check that. Maybe Jim Clark or Graham Hill instead of Peterson.

Duncan Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 yeah I saw it today too. do they normally replay the sat after or was this a one off? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/71/#findComment-2622795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 it was a one off. i think just because it was such a special race, and because it was one of the few rounds at such an odd time for us. It would be nice if they always did it though. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/71/#findComment-2623110 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 what a knuckle head. how could he say that? It's like saying if schumacher had one less leg he may not have won any titles. fact is mate, your uncle did die, and MS did win 7 world titles. get over it!

Beer Baron Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 yeah, i can get cranky. but seriously he's just proven himself nicely.... as another wanker with a fancy pants name and FA else. i'm sure plenty of people would argue that even if Senna hadn't passed on that he wouldn't have stopped schuey winning anything except maybe the lucky door prize at the Monte Carlo Grand Prix ball. ps, not neccisarily saying they would be right...
