elprimerozen Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Formula one is on !!!Who do you think will be the next champ?
stevie7s Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Formula one is on !!!Who do you think will be the next champ? Im a real big Ferrari fan and have been for most of my life. That being said, I think Alonso can be the next Michael Schumaker of the sport by his performance last year. So I say Alonso wins two more races than Massa and it comes down to the last two races for the Constructor trophy. (Ferrari by a nose )
Pugwash Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Valentino Rossi looks like having some serious competition from Casey Stoner, but it's not Stoner or Ducati's year yet. Rossi for the win. Having said that, after the fluke of Hayden taking the number one plate last year, anything is possible. Also this year should finally see victories from Edwards and Hopkins, which is good news for you Yanks, and maybe even a Kawasaki podium or two. Still, you can't write off the ex-250 champs like Capirossi and Pedrosa. In SBK, It looks like Toseland is truly on form, and Max Biaggi is at the sharp end, but with a crowd like Bayliss, Corser, Haga, Kagayama, and a handful of local wild cards, he looks like having a true baptism of fire. Oh, you were talking about cars? All the cool kids have moved to supporting motorbike racing instead.

section8 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 I'm hoping this is Kimi's year. If he has a car that will finish a race, I think he'll certainly challenge Emonso for the WDC.
By-Tor Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Rumor has it that Kimi has an alcohol problem. Dunno if it's true or not... lots of rumors though. David Coulthard (among others) have said that he has really heavy drinking habits.
V Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 I don't know who the champion will be.. I am personally going to SIlverstone and I will be wearing this :

David Coulthard (among others) have said that he has really heavy drinking habits. Coulthard is one to talk, Im sure. I could be wrong but, when Coulthard was racing for mcLaren, wasnt there something written about him and a little drinking habit? I might be wrong so forgive me if that is incorrect. Either way, I get up at 6am every Sunday to watch F1 live as it is not as big in the States as Nascar so the network stations do not televise it. maybe I can get up to montreal in June to catch it there. Forza Ferrari!!!
By-Tor Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Well... Raikkonen took pole position in his first race with Ferrari. He's the first driver since Fangio who scored a pole in his first Ferrari attempt. I guess he wasn't drunk today. Personally I think Alonso is the only threat to Kimi from taking the championship. Anyone who thinks Massa is a contender must be on drugs. http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/formulaone/36053/

bigpops Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I'm a life long Ferrari fan, so i'll be rooting for the prancing horse. I see Formula 1 has finally started broadcasting in widescreen. I hear it's shot in HD too, but noone in the UK is showing it in high-def.

By-Tor Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Massa is fast and good driver... he can win 3-4 races and take some poles. But a Championship? I seriously doubt it. Kimi almost won 2003 WDC with a POS car.
elprimerozen Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Massa is fast and good driver... he can win 3-4 races and take some poles. But a Championship... come on... I realy think that he can chalenge for the championship....if he can take the championship..i agree,its a diferent story!
elprimerozen Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 So people ... 10 points for Kimi!!!Ferrari is on fire!!!!!
chubbchubb Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 And if you want to go REALLY fast you don't drive a Ferrari F1 anyway. You drive a Bugatti Veyron. Veyron at top speed Holy macceroni... anybody watch this (aside from our friend from the pole)? I have driven and am driving fast cars and bikes but that is a whole different universe (wanted to say "league" but felt it does not fit...) Nanuq - thanks for sharing...

Everyone in the UK has seen this clip as it's from the BBC's legendary motoring show, Top Gear.

ubiquitous Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Blast from the past: Schumacher vs. Coulthard. This was hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYE_PVYpa_k Fricken hilarious! Love it!
slai Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Well... Raikkonen took pole position in his first race with Ferrari. He's the first driver since Fangio who scored a pole in his first Ferrari attempt. I guess he wasn't drunk today. Villeneuve did it in a Williams!
KB Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Being an Aussie as us from the sunny isle keep dreaming that Webber will soon get a rocket up his arse, but until then I will avoid these discussions. Oh BTW Bergies Belts still has a few Ferarri caps left for sale Ken
By-Tor Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 Who watched todays race, and how Alonso got the win after the blatant team order? http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=48920&PO=48920
Mickey Padge Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 I don't know why I bother watching when the results are fixed like this, heaven forbid that an actual race breaks out! Alonso is a complete tool.......
By-Tor Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 This puts FIA into an interesting position (again). There are clear rules against team orders. If FIA won't punish Ferrari it's the final nail of this sports' coffin. How can you even call it "sports" if you don't have to follow the rules? What makes it even more hilarious is that Ferrari and Alonso have been whining about "fixed races" in the last few weeks. And how does Alonso have the nerve to celebrate the win in the first place... Santander has probably PAID for this kind of arrangement. Still... the biggest pussy was Felipe Massa who let this whole thing happen. You can talk about being a "team player" and all that but it's bs. REAL F1 drivers like Prost, Senna, daddy Piquet or Mansell... or even Hakkinen or Schumi would never have slowed down, no matter what the consequences would have been. All this politically correct "team first" crap has destroyed this sport. And with this pussy move Massa made himself Alonso's bitch. Officially.
