Who's going to win this week? McLaren or Ferrari?

dom

Flip a coin?

Good to see Honda up to 13 and 14th

And interesting to see Fischi up there after basically giving up on this years car.

fsttyms1

Man that was a tough 4 weeks.
Go Ferrari.

I want 2 USGPs

F-C

I wounldn't read much into these times. The Toyota's are 1 sec off from the Williams-Toyotas? Nah.

Chief F1 Fan

To answer your question F-C: I will go w/ McLaren

F-C

I'll go with Chief. Alonso ftw

West6MT

Massa gets his second straight win!!!!!!!!!

stangg172004

hey chief, guess who's in first place in the standings

fernando is crying on the inside

F-C

Who was at fault at the first corner? Looked like a racing incident to me. Alonso is the new whine king.

uzzmaan

Alonso has been whining since at least last season. One of the reasons I can't even think of supporting him for the championship. Either Kimi or Hamilton for me.

Edward'TLS

Super Aguri - Honda :1; Honda : still 0.

Chief F1 Fan

I like Hamilton, I really enjoy seeing him at the top, how long it will last who knows. Alonso outsmarted himself at the 1st corner, no fault on Massa's part. Super Best Friends scored a point ONLY b/c Renault's fuel rig required an extra stop for both its drivers. If Fisi would've gotten the right amount on what should have been his last stop, SA would not have scored a point. That being said, they still had a better race by far, than the factory effort. Poor Kimi-that guy can't buy reliability for nuthin', even w/ the most reliable car mfr on the grid.

ChrismanTSX

a bit of whining, but he's still a damn good driver. Hamilton is doing surprisingly well, i wonder if it'll last.

Kimi's still struggling with the red car; but I think he'll get better. Massa's done well, but can't seem to handle pressure as well.

Things are looking good for McLaren! uzzmaan, finally another McLaren fan around!

ChrismanTSX

Absolutely ridiculous... Honda should just shelf the RA107 and race the RA106. If Super Aguri can achieve those results, I wonder what the works team could do with the 106...

F-C

They can't. That's the whole irony of the situation with the intellectual rights to the RA106. Honda sold the rights to Super Aguir so Super Aguri can race the old car. As a result, Honda are not allowed to race their car anymore.

Edward'TLS

One excellent example of how $$$ just evaporated and wasted in the big-budget F1 sport. One can spent multi-millions of $ to develop a brand new race car which is proved slower than the old one it replaces.

West6MT

I think another mistake Honda made was getting rid of whatshisface last year and replacing him with that other guy (sorry cant remember names and job titles). I think that has something to do with things as well. I'll look up the names later, but you guys know what I am talking about.

Well, there's a B-spec car for Canada after Monaco so we'll see how that goes....
Geoff Willis, & he's great actually. The problem is that they think that it's better to have a crew of people doing the technical side of things instead of 1 super-experienced guy (obviosly wrong!). Toyota did the same thing when they sacked Mike Gascoyne (another mistake).

Toyota blows anyways....

West6MT

Haha, thanks for filling in the blanks for me.

Speaking about Toyota. I think of Trulli. Again and again, he does well in qualify but not in races, like in the good old days. His old habit still hasn't change, despite driving for different teams.

R J Poseidon 6

Trulli's better than Ralf @ least....

I'll laugh if he looses his seat next year cuz he's so damn cocky & he's overrated (like Fisichella!)

Chief F1 Fan

^^ agreed. And for whatever reason, Flav-man seems to think Fisi's driving better this year than ever. Ralf and Jarno need to go ba-bye.
