2006 F1 Season

I hope Massa takes out Alonso in the first corner... then Shumi wins.

I believe protocol calls for Schumacher to do that particular job himself.

[sav man]

$10 on Massa, or the Spykers (they want Ferrari engines next year) being put in a kamikazi mission.

But I hope Alonso buggers up and loses it for himself.

[mrgilly]

As much I don't want to see an MS-dominated F1, I'm sad at how the race ended. Would have been much more spirited if Alonso had actually passed him...

Bring on Webber next year!

lol. funny to think that had schuey won at Japan that with his 2 point lead we may have seen exactly that at Brazil. it would have been a fitting end to a somewhat tainted career. have alonso try and go around the outside at turn won, at which point shcuey forgets to turn and takes them both out... go out on a low note. lol

come on, F1 is a multi-billion! dollar industry. what's sportsmanship got to do with it? big bisiness is about maximising every opportunity for your shareholders. shumey always delivered!

I guess that would be for the best.

I mean, he turned in on Hill at Adelaide.

Then he dive bombed up the inside of Villeneuve on the sub continent.

So I gues if he simply "forgot" to turn the corner with alonso on the outside that would pretty much complete the trifecta.

F1 is a sport, but only on Sunday afternoons. All the rest of the time it is commerce.

1 race to go... you can do it Juan Migel Hose Fernandez

[dezz]

if anyones gonna take out alonso, it'll be sato.

[djr81]

Dead set, is that his full name?

[ctjet]

learn something new everyday dun cha?

[djr81]

Lucky they don't put all that on his car. The aerodynamic drag alone would make him slower than his team mate...

Reminds me of a driver at Bathurst from 1984. He had an absurdly long & pretentious name. Something Like Prince Leopold von blah blah blah. A German bloke, obviously & driving a Group A 6 series BMW for Frank Gardner in JPS colours. He stuck the thing into the wall on the top of the hill & someone helpfully inscribed (next to the skid & impact marks) Prince von Wanker was here. Nice work.

[ctjet]

speaking of bathurst... what a non-event this year turned out to be

apart from most of the cars crashing of course

[djr81]

Yeah it was pretty dull. Far too many pace cars & too little actual racing.

How would you have liked to have been the photographer standing behind the wall that Radisich centre punched?

[ctjet]

best moment of the whole race was Richards leaping the over the race track and then some... i swear he must have cleared at least 20 meters!! Best view was the footage from the helicopter

[djr81]

See - kiwi's can fly.

The bit that really wigged me out was the footage of the front left tyre on Lowndes car.

[Muz]

I pose this question to you all. As the Clerk of the course elected to continue the race under a green flag when Jason Richards stuck it into the wall at Mcphillamy when a previous full course yellow was used for another crash incident at exactly the same place, had Kelly been able to jump Lowndes and take the win, would we have seen all sorts of legal challenges because a precedent had already been set? Lowndes was leading by a substantial margin at that time and was reined in under the yellows.

There ya go troopers, debate that one! I know that if it had been me I would be looking for someones head.

[dezz]

how about posting all of this in the bathurst thread :sorcerer:

[Paradizzle]

if anyones gonna take out alonso, it'll be sato.

sato will be on the grass b4 turn 1. Only chance he will have of taking out Alonso is when he gets laped by him... which i suppose he will have many chances. But still Sato is probably most imporved driver in F1, is he was with Ferrari or Renault he would be a frequant front runner and would challenge for the world title within 2 years.

1 race to go... you can do it Juan Migel Hose Fernandez

what kind of drug are you on. and besides. Hose? try Jose.... pronounced ho-say. lol.
