2006 F1 Season

[djr81]

Well there are alot of second generation drivers around at the moment.

Rosberg.

Senna.

Piquet.

Scheckter.

Locally:

Jones.

Johnson.

Moffat.

Plus alot more. Guess some of them must have some talent. I mean, the statistical probability means that atleast one of 'em could drive out of sight on a dark night. Surely. Ok, maybe not.

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!

baron for president.

What an absoulte tosser...so he's basically saying that his uncle would have won the exact amount of championships that would see he and MS level on 5 each?

[djr81]

I think what he was saying was that Senna in a Williams in 94 & 95 would have been a much better proposition than Hill & others in the same car. To which you would have to concede he has a point.

Also, Senna would have retired after equalling some bloke called Fangio in the number of championships. Atleast according to Nigel Roebuck he would have.

Whether or not Senna would have beaten Schumacher is another issue & one not worth the argument. So nobody start anything & we will all get along fine.

add brabham and brock to the above list.

you know who I like? Kubica. next Michael Schumacher I reckon.

[dezz]

Sato is the next schumacher. I think thats something we can all agree on.

Here he is studying MS up close

[djr81]

add brabham and brock to the above list.

you know who I like? Kubica. next Michael Schumacher I reckon.

Which Brabham - there are three of them, Geoff, Gary & David.

Also Brock (& for that matter Jones) are resapectively a step child & adopted.

I forgot to add the Davison family, although the latest generation seems to be doing quite well.

Steven Richards disproves the rule, also.

For next year I would put my house on the Finnish bloke. Don't mean Rosberg, either.

[Beer Baron]

nah, Kubica all the way boys. mark my word. Pole will be on Pole soon enough.

I was thinking David Brabham I have NFI who the others are!

and yes Richo JR is good, but damn he has a head like a half sucked mango.

[Duncan]

meh most second generation racers aren't there on talent, they are there on their parents contacts, know how and money.

[djr81]

I forgot to list some bloke called Glenn Seton.

Geoff Brabham won Le Mans with Peugoet in 91 & did alot of racing in the US.

Gary Brabham won the F3000 championship in 1989.

Don't go the blood nuts, Baron. They can really angry really quickly....

They used to have an award in the Can Am series. It was for Polish drivers. It was the Polish Pole Position Pole. Unsuprisingly the trophy was a, um, pole.

By the way did anyone wathc the reply of the '78 Australian Grand Prix on ABC 2 on Sunday? The laps by Fangio in the old Merc & Brabham in the BT were just gold.

Cant see it happening...but

[ctjet]

probably not... i just though it was cool

[djr81]

That's it. Great stuff. Later on in the fottage you can see the touring car mechanics lining the pit wall to watch. They followed it with edited highlights of the Hang Ten 400 - Moffat, Bond, Johnson in XC Falcons & Brock, Harvey, Grice, Rogers et al in A9X Toranas.

Gotta be some of the best TV going around at the moment.

[Paradizzle]

renault supplying engines to RBR.

[ctjet]

just came across this little piece of trivia

Alonso completed his entire championship-winning campaign... in one car. Chassis R26-03 took to the grid in Bahrain some seven months ago and the same car crossed the finishing line in Brazil. It did not miss a single race.

... thats pretty impressive

[ctjet]

w00t!!! looking better and better for 07!!!!

Two major additions to Mclarens areo department

[djr81]

Now all they need is a couple of additions to the "Let's not have the thing lunch itself by lap 12" department.

[gtr660hp]

Damn...the Red team looking shaky next year...no Brawn, No Martinelli, maybe No Todt either...hope Kimi still gets good machinery

[benm]

Geeze the interviews after each race are going to be really boring next year if Kimi is getting heaps of podiums, i've seen more excitement from wet paint than what he has.
