2006 F1 Season

[Master]

Completely agree with u, instead of changing to a race engine on a sat night like they use to, they just run round in pvt testing blowing engines and spending money there... But have to say it all adds to the craziness that got to me as a 14 year old and has been a huge part of my life ever since. This year when i heard the V8s at Albert Park my first impression was ....sounded like a V10 with a hint of a cracked header, that slightly rough note.

Sad part for williams in all this is with Cosworth being great with V8's their gearbox/hydraulics issues are proving to cost the team major points. The minimal advantage they have in the engine dept will vanish very soon with cosworth not being able to match the major manufacturers throwing everything into their development programs..

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Kimi better not go to Ferrari, those cheating bastards dont deserve him! Please stay kimi, PLEASE STAY! Anyone but those assholes....

[Frink]

i wouldn't be surprised if you see him there next year. i think ferrari were a little to optimistic about massa and if he continues to make mistakes, they wont re-new his contract....

[ctjet]

massa is just a fill in driver for one year till everyones contract comes up for renewel at the end of this year. He was a convienient choice cause he knows the team well and no one else wanted the job for one year. He's gone at the end of the year and he knows it

Ferrari - assholes??? sounds like tall poppy syndrome rearings its ugly head there. Ive followed the Rampante Cavallino since 1975 ( I was only 5 but loved the Rossa Corsa cars the first time I saw em-Ive been a true Tivosi ever since). People forget they didnt win shit form 1980 to 1999.. Mclaren are johhny come lately compared to Ferrari. Ive been to both factories and Mclaren has no soul compared to Maranello-give me the red cars anyday and old mate Ron Dennis can go fk himself-I have respect for Frank too cause he is a real racer just like Enzo was and just like Ron ISNT. Kimi can stay put.

gtr660hp.. im no newbi F1 fan. i been following F1 since 1992 (10yo) and i couldnt stand ferrari from back then im not one ofthese anti establishment ppl who hate ferrari just cause they won a lot recently. I hate ferrari cause they dont play within the spirit of F1.

Mclaren came 15 years after Ferrari and overtook Ferrari as the most winniest team in F1 in 1999. Thats feat is not to be underestimated. The best way to sum up Ferrari is that they are like Collingwood in the AFL. You either love them or you hate them... and god damn i hate them

We will forever just disagree on this, you'll never change your mind and ill never ever change mine

P.S if not for Schumi Ferrari would be nowhere, he is the great keystone holding that shamozzle together

[Frink]

here here! HA!

will this ever end?

[gtr660hp]

ctjet-I never said you were a newbie! Anyway-good to see there are still a few of us with some passion for our teams. Give me the red teams crazy antics anyday. Like I said for me there is something special about the team, factory and Fiorano-there is no doubt that Mclaren havnt got that special feel-there HQ is very efficient and highly technical but lacks soul-thats not to say I dont respect the cars on the track cause they have always been quick /but thats all just quick, not special

Good to see some flare going on.... hahaha.

I'm a Mclaren man. Simply cause I came into F1 during the Senna/Prost days and Senna's the best in my eyes.... ever. But I have to admit that when people think F1, Ferrari is the first team that comes to mind. gtr660hp is right, the Ferrari team has something special about them that people think of them first.

I don't hate Ferrari, I just could never forgive Schuey for what he did to Hill and Villeneuve. Once, ok.... twice, don't think so. However saying that, if he did retire at the end of this season I will miss him cause he's always interesting to watch.

Rumour has it that Flavio is trying to court Schumi to Renault once his Ferrari contract expires at the end of the season...now that would be interesting if that one came off.

Bring on Imola this weekend

[Beer Baron]

love or hate him schumacher has done so much to advance the sport of F1 and bring it to a wider audience. and he is a lovely driver to watch, and is capable of doing things in a race people would not believe was possible.

[gtr660hp]

Yep lookin forward to Imola-I'm a Ferrari fan not a Schumi fan so much-remember I used to hate him b4 he strated at Ferrari-He only represents a small episode (although very good) of ferrari anyway. Scuderia Ferrari actually started way back in in the 1930's when Enzo ran the Alfa (famous P1 and P2 cars) team before the modern F1 series started-very long line of history there that no other F1 team can even dream of.

But we all need Ferrari and Mclaren and Williams to be quick for the season so the Frogs (Renault) dont run away with it

Sorry Ferrari are gay!

Bring back Lotus!

[gtr660hp]

Ah yes good old Lotus-just another manufcturer that didnt last In F1

Seriously- Colin Chapman was a genious

Did love the JPS cars with Ayrton at the wheel

Now umm let me think what would I rather a Ferrari Enzo or a shtty little GM-sorry I mean Lotus Elise-lol

LOL...i take that back. You are about the first Ferrari fan that can handle a cheap joke about his team...so things a re looking up for Ferrari

Ferrari are unfortunatley a bit like the Bulldogs. I have nothing against the team, but my god so many of their supporters are ding bats

Oh, there are any number of Lotus cars i would pick before the Elise, though the Elise was still good fun at the track

[Frink]

im a ferrari fan and a big schumi fan. the guy can drive. in his 1st year for ferrari in 1996, he managed to win 3 races in what was an extremely slow car. i was a bit suspect on the damon hill incident, but i reckon that the incident with villeneuve was more of a 50/50 thing. i haven't seen the footage for a while, but if i recall correctly, villeneuve moved to the inside going for a gap which was closing pretty fast, and locked his inside wheel. schumi turned in, which he was intitled to do. villeneuve hit schumi about 2/3's down the side of his car (towards the rear...) and damaged the ferrari's right rear suspension. racing incident, in my eyes anyway. schumi could've given room, villeneuve could've waited longer. but if you were going for the world title, you'd probably do the same....

my 2 cents.....again!

Cool thanks-maybe the real Tifosi like me are ok unlike the try hard ferrari fan who doesnt know anything about the team other than its red

Me too on the Lotus car deal-Ive always had a thing for the first series Espirit in white

and FRINK like i said Schumi only represents 2% of the Ferrari F1 story-if he ends up at Renault next year Ill be more than happy to see him into the wall

[Amaru]

Rumor going around pit paddock at the moment is Massa will go back to Sauber at the end of this year and the new replacement driver for Ferrari is none other than our home grown hero, Webber (as his Williams contract expires at the end of this season).

[gtr660hp]

Hmm an aussie in a Ferrari-bring that on

I'd also like to see Rossi in one to just to have the publicity of it all
