2008 F1 Season

[Marlin]

One can only hope the lil Lewi falls over in the finale! My my that would be a fantastic post race interview

On a side note, how suckfull would it be if Mosley gets his control engine/box idea passed...... can you say, "A1 GP"?

[bnr#@]

yeah, I'm at a loss to understand why he's trying to push the control engine thing so much, What would be the point of the manufacturers championship if they cant manufacture and develop their own engine? It would do bad things for the sport... if not kill it all together

[BezerkR32]

yeh, i agree, the manufacturers will have no interest.

maybe a controll chassis with manufacturers power plants.

[dezz]

maybe just leave it alone and f**k the teams that can't afford to compete in what is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport...

As for 08, I feel its too far out of reach for Massa, but I'll be preying for hamilton to put on a hamilton07-esque performance and bin it.

Roy, you forgot a major factor which is sure to shake up the grid next year - any team backed in a major way by a bank will have no budget to develop their new cars. bad times for those guys, they are going to have to cut back majorly on the caviar budget.

and the manufacturer back teams will have major budget issues too - how do you think ferrari's sales have been in the last 3 months compared to the 9 months prior....

In a further development I understand the FIA have been watching this thread all year and have decided to ditch the stewards, and just take decisions from the posters in this thread.

Yeh, Renault are good with ING, they haev lsot money but the relationship with F1 has been very positive for them, they are still strong despite all the current agro, but despite all this have just been guaranteed money to ensure confidence as they have declared a loss for the 3rd quarter

But yeh, by by Williams with RBS, Lenovo etc all struggling and in smelly piles of dog poo

I'm glad I didn't stay up and watch the race last nite on Ch10 (I out when 10HD was on) that was the most boring race ever!

uunfortunately I did, definitely wasn't worth it.

[lingeringsoul]

don't forget that year long ago. I think it was 2007. a certain lewi homoton went into the last race of the season with a 7 point lead over his closest rival and finished that race without a WDC...

deja vu all over again.........I remember that morning, I missed the race, turned on the computer and cried tears of joy.

Here's hoping...

[sh@un]

It's in the bag boys

Surely Hamilton won't try and win the race in the first corner and throw it all away... i think

[dezz]

As much as I hate to say it, I don't see any way he could lose it...

I'll be preying he does, but at the same time, I'm a realist.

Surely his ego can't be THAT big that he tries something ridiculous

Side note. Louise thinks the entire F1 paddock owes him something already....can't wait to see what he's like as a WDC...

[jase-r34]

Kimi should just slam right into the back of lewis's car. I dead set would be cheerin lol. He could just say "yeah well you did it to me once before remember?"

[dezz]

or pay force india to take care of it for them ...

[sh@un]

'praying' Dezz

praying

Kimi should just slam right into the back of lewis's car.

why not eh? the FIA will prolly just find a way to give Lewis a 10 place grid penalty for the first round next season; something like "failure to move over for Scuderia Ferrari driver"

You mean FIA(T)

Well, Heikis car went bang....Lewis has had an amazing run of reliability. Its not out of this world possible that he has a mechanical problem or falls victim to first corner dramas, but i hope that is not the case. We saw enough of that with MS.

Anything is still possible, hell this time when he clips the wall in the wet he may have suspension fail. Or someone may run into him in the pits. Or someone on the better tyre for the conditions may force him onto the grass in the wet...or his car can just go bang. Is this race the second race for the engine

Yes, but Alonso wasn't isn't exactly a Fisichella either... Heikki on the other hand... Formula 1's new Giancarlo... I just hope the Renaults are really strong in Brazil.. Hopefully Trulli and/or Webbo might be up the pointy end of the field.... God... Please, can SOMETHING HAPPEN TO HOMOTON, KTHNXGODDOOD!!

yep massa and kimi on new engines. lewey the fly on 1 race old engine...

the only hard bit is we not only need lewey taken out we need massa to finish 1st or 2nd too... surely the collective hatred of everyone on the grid can combine in one giant conspiracy to thwart leweys efforts and hand a win to massa.

[djr81]

Well I for one (probably the only one given the amount of hate on these forums for Hamilton) hope that McLaren can secure a drivers championship.

Not sure why anyone would watch sport willing someone to fail.

Oh and Mercedes said the motor in Lewis' car is fine.

[dezz]

Pretty sure most teams would say the same about each of their engines up until the point where it goes bang...

[BigDirtyJase]

I hope that Hamilton wins the championship. I think last year taught him something and drive to win the championship...but then again Japan is a prime example. but knowing how F1 is, Ferarri will kick up a stink and find something to DQ Hamilton and give the championship to Massa.

IMO Ferarri will take the constructors title. the greatest surprise i want to see Webber wins the last race

I don't know why Hamilton is so hated...I can remember alot of people hating Michael Schumacher (and some people still do) because he was brash and arrogant (and don't forget the the dirty tactics to win some of his championships). I think Hamilton will mature with age but he needs to win a championship or two to shut up all the naysayers
