Can Weber get up tonight?

[Roy]

Do it right:) 100K...must include snorting drugs of the bellies of grid girls .... where do i sign up:)

I shoudl have gone to French and British GPs in 2002, but couldnt round up the natives to go with me...plus i think followed itn eh Tour De France was the right decision.

All the talk about Heidfield and Button next year has already started, disgruntled Rubens leaving Ferrari etc...its going to be a busy silly season

[GTRgeoff]

Pah, just get a condo in Cancun and watch the show on telly.

Dr. Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director: "After the difficult weekend we had in Magny-Cours, today's sessions were dominated by an intensive set-up programme. No doubt we could have benefited from a test between these two Grands Prix. Now the challenge will be to improve the set-up for Saturday with the data we have collected today. There were no problems on the engine side."

That dirty Kraut is still passing the buck onto Williams. Either their engines are that good and going to wate in the Williams or they suck and he is in damage control with McLaren, Renault and Toyota all handing it to the Williams BMWs:(

[Duncan]

Well I understand why he's running a PR campaign.....but I don't buy it. As our drag racing friends know terminal speed is the best indication of power....and a standing start is an indicator of torque....and Williams/BMW suck at both

[Silver-Arrowz]

DAMN MERCEDES ENGINE! 1 engine per 2 race and it can't even make it pass one weekend of practice!

[Roy]

LOL...so much for German engineering...BMW and Mercedes are hurting their respective teams...lol Jpa crap and those frog powered cars are cleaning up:)

I so love the British GP, but looks like its going to be a long night for the Williasms boys, just hope DC beats them and JV beats Massa and gets some points.

[Silver-Arrowz]

That's what I can't understand. Very rare you see Merc's and Bimmers break down on the roads, yet they can't make their F1 motors as reliable.

*Sigh* I hope I don't have to wait for 06 for another Maccas' F1 crown.

[Roy]

Read a few UK motoring mags. The past 12 months there have been a few articles concerning the build quality and relaibility of Mercs, and how if they dont improve the next model then they are likely to lose even more business then they already have:(

Anyway, 10.30 time to seitch from SBS to Channel 10:)

[Duncan]

Typical big brother that crap ran late again.

While I am being pissed off, how bad are the new CGI track demos? They spend all this time showing reflections, hands on steering wheel, wierd angles. Shame they don't actually show you what the track looks like

[Silver-Arrowz]

Big Bulsh*t!

Yeah you don't get much of an idea with that CGI demo. Looks cool but that's just it.

[Roy]

Yeh a ****pit view of a lap with a small window following the car from the outsidfe is the go:)

Wasnt too bad a race. From 10-14 was where the racing was outside of the in and out laps of pitstops.

Best performance of the night goes to Stuart O'Grady, 4th on a stage with a Category 1 climb:thumbsup:

Oh well, looks like Williams, Red Bull etcc etc are going ot have a shocker for the rest of the year with a lot of the effort havign to go into next years cars:(

[Silver-Arrowz]

The Williams/BMW relation is all but over. I hope Williams get some manufactuer backing them soon cause customer engines aren't the same as manufactuer backing.

Mercedes better get their act together for the next meet. They've given Alonso too many presents.

[Beer Baron]

as usual Trulli ruined a few peoples races. how can someone be so good in qualifying yet so shit in the race. he held up MS and kimi something shocking. it was interesting in the first part of the race the gap between cars was 1 second, then trulli 15 seconds (and counting) back from the guy in front and lapping 2 seconds per lap slower. he also did his best to f**k alonsos race when alonso was trying to put a lap on him.

as for williams with a manufacturer, how about a Williams/Nissan? haha. shame they are no longer an independant manufacturer... oh well.

[ECR033]

If only

No need to let the fact that Renault are majority share holders in Nissan get in the way. I'm sure they could overlook the slight conflict of interest

As for the race, good on JPM for finally getting on the podium and cracking it for a victory this year. It was nice to see him actually keep the car on the island and not throw away a good result for a change. I also thought Alonso raced well, but I was dissapointed for Fisi when he stalled it in the pit lane after his last stop as he drove a great race and probably would have passed Alonso if Renault didn't bring him in first (perhaps team tactics played a part there to ensure Alonso got maximum points). As for Williams, the less said the better - they were pitiful and it looks like the slide is only going to get worse for the rest of the year

[relicr31act]

It is hard to see how Williams could get worse, they only beat Red Bull, one sauber and the jordans and minardis!!!

[Beer Baron]

my bet is that williams will have cosworth power next year. that will be a 60% chance of being shit. the only reason I give them that 40% chance of being good is that cosworth do have a lot of experience building good V8s so hopefully they can come up with something good. i doubt it though.

unfortunately I am starting to lose hope in the williams/webber alliance. can't see any good results on the horizon. :cry:

[ECR033]

They might not even beat Red Bull soon they way they're going. Heidfeld had his mirrors full of RBR for most of the race and he only initially got past Klien because he ran off the road trying to put a pass on Webber

[Silver-Arrowz]

German GP this weekend... PLEASE MERCEDES..... No more engine go kaput!

Anyhow, for those that are interested, BMW are looking to recruit personel for 2006.

I think I'll apply for head of aerodynamics. I'll send them some samples of my paper aeroplanes and schematics too. I know I'm bound to get a call from Dr. Mario Theissen! :uh-huh:

[Beer Baron]

bastard I was going to go for that too. except I dont know how to spell schematic or aerodynamicist. hmmm perhaps i can apply for 'Model Maker' I once built a 1/8th scale gas RC car it has a 2 speed box and ran at nearly 80kmh... also once half built a plastic R32 GTR model. I'm a shoe in.

in other news a friend of mine is going overseas today and whilst travelling around is going to stop by and watch the Spa GP the bastard.

[GTRgeoff]

Maybe the could use a weapons engineer. Get some real cred for when car go boom
