Forza FERRARI

Very tough front two rows!!! Schumi has to get the pedal to the metal ... coz frankly I'm not too impressed by Montoya's starts that are based more on emotion than control!!!

Schumi needs to get a clean start and stay ahead of Montoya and Raikkonnen who will surely make it one tough and exciting race!!

Schumi finally won 67th victory of his career while The Finnish Kimi Raikkonen in second and the second Ferrari's driver, Rubens Barrichello got in third place in podium. JP Montoya..well you got engine trouble..

Seeing the race itself, there were *ordinary* incident due to fire in Schumi's first pit stop while re-fueling. Thank God it just fine. As comentator said the review Rubinho getting closer..closer..pushing..pushing..take Kimi's position over.."How the fastest Ferrari is"...

For me, what a race!!

Forza FERRARI

Too bad, there will be no Austrian GP next year.

good win for the Prancing Horse!!! This was the last race at the A-1 ring as I think it will be replaced by a new track for next year's calendar (probably China).

Now Schumi has narrowed the gap to only 2 pts to the Finn.

That Barrichello move on Raikkonen nearly paid off but held his line well!!

The bloody fuel nozzel was creating trouble for the Ferraris today and that fuel fire thingy looked really dangerous at one point!!!

Good podium finishes and next up is Monte Carlo!! I think Schumi can make a memorable record of 80+ wins in his career.

I would really love to see him get 100 but as awesome as it may sound it is also very difficult and will require a lot of wins and consistency ... you never know!! Schumi is the GREATEST of all!!! He has already raised the performance level bar to a completely new level and it could happen however it is highly unlikely!!

Ferrari's Schumi's contract will end in 2004 while it's likely the management would prefer to continue the great relations between both. It's all depends on Schumi, by the time he decides to renew his contract, the management would delighted by that decision.

Schumacher is really puttting effort now, will he stands now on like the last year?
Ferrari 2003 as shown to be a competitive car and in these last two races than the others.

Sorry about lack of word,....breakfast time.

Glad you asked. If it seen by the car itself...he will. If it seen by Schumi personally (by his age-his great ability to race)..he will. Even he could race until his 37 years old. If it seen by the entire his Ferrari team (the management, pit-crew, and so on)..he will. Remember F2003 GA has been showing great job on all aspect..so his car's ability in these last three races (one victory used old car, F2002) and the following GP would never let you down.

Don't forget with those names : General Director Jean Todt, Technical Director Ross Brawn, Engine Director Paolo Martinelli and Chief Designer Rory Byrne.

Schumi has two children and his wife's name is Corrinna!! I find it hard to imagine him being gay!!

THE FIA made quite a few changes to rules this year coz last year the world championship was almost done by this time due to the DOMINANCE of ONE Michael Schumacher!

The Championship is tight this season as team Ferrari didnot have the best of starts giving the opportunity to young Finn Kimi Raikkonen to run away with the points!! I think that Raikkonen has a podium finish in every race that he has finished this year and that is pretty darn good!!

The new F2003 GA is undefeated and looks set to be as good as the record break F2002 which was an awesome piece of machinery!!! Actually Ferrari doesn't manufacture cars. They make art ... it's poetry in motion. Ferraris are a work of art!!

Kimi leads Schumi by a narrow lead that can be overhauled next race if Schumi gets 3 more points that the Finn.

The pts allocation has been changed as well with two pts separating the top two and now 8 drivers get pts instead of 6.

Basically the FIA made these changes to make the championship more interesting coz they know that now Scumacher has the best car and with his talent winning races and championships is a formality!!! They don't want to lose big bucks like they did last year!!! :p :p

one last thing ... the Formula 1 record book might be named the Michael Schumacher record book as Schumi holds most of the big prominent records in that book!!!

Guys you should take a look at this. For McLaren fans, I'm looking forward to hear from you about this issue.

The latest MP4-18 McLaren Mercedes

It will be tough opponents for Ferrari indeed.

This weekend, Monte Carlo!!Here we comes...

Knock..knock...F1....

The latest issue, Can Ferrari get back to their top form in following GP??As you know, Williams-BMW are already pushing Ferrari's spot either both driver or constructors standing...something makes you open your eyes which the more watch it closely, the more GP would be interesting.

Gonna be tough! Let's see!!! Can't discount Raikkonen who has taken his foot off the gas a bit!!! He's out of the limelight for a while now!

Renaults are getting better it seems!!

I'm hoping that Schumi takes the prancing horse past the chequered flag in style!! Certainly going to be a thrilling finale this season!
