Official Formula 1 thread!

Rubens was awesome and that overtaking move was cooolllaaaa!!! WOW!!

What the hell was that lunatic doing on the track!! Lucky somebody didn't crush his bones coz that is what he was asking for!!! He wasn't even protesting for anything!!

Schumi had a great comeback from 14th ... that was good!!!

Trulli a bit unlucky to not get a podium spot coz he was driving a pretty good race!!! Kimi faltered under pressure but he will get better with experience!!

It was the Rubens show so full credit to him on driving a fantastic race!!

Haroon..Rubinho did fantastic yesterday. If overtaking is one and only the best of all, that I would have said it was overtaking manouvre of the year (overtaking he did to Ralf or Kimi). My hat off for him for securing Ferrari's spot in constructors' stakes with 118 points leading to Williams' 108 and McLaren Mercedes' 95.

It was a fantanstic race indeed. Many overtaking did yesterday. Thank God Schumi could still finish the race. He extended his lead with 69 points to Kimi' 62 and Juan Pablo Montoya' 55 in drivers table.

German Grand Prix this weekend..be ready to watch it.

Hockenheim is one of my favourite circuits along side Monza which is my absolute favourite!!!


Tires play a big part in this one as the length of the circuit is pretty long. Mc Laren have an edge going into this one!!! Schumi must clinch a home win to maintain the lead. It is getting agonizingly close now

Who use the right strategy, will win the race. Anyway I saw headlines today Hockenheim is hot, with temperature high in upper 20s (Celcius). This certainly affect to tyre compound, as it belonged to Williams in Friday qualifying review.

Brigdstone will 'battle' two Michelin, which this weekend will be facilitating the champion 'path' for the one who win the race.

Just bring our victory, Ferrari!!

Saturday's Qualifying is over and it'll be an all Williams front for tomorrow's German Grand Prix with Juan Pablo Montoya in pole position. Think JPM should have a very good chance of winning after finish 2nd in his last 3 races.

am I the only one not supporting Ferrari?

West Mclaren Mercedes

Hell!!!! It was so near to be a good race and then everything goes wrong with that punctured tire!!!! It turned out to be an awful weekend with Schumi coming in 7th and Milan losing concentration for 30 secs!!!

That disastrous start which took out the three front runners made it easy for Schumi to grab that second spot ... I thought he would somehow get past those ever improving Renaults. He did get past them ... getting close to the super fast Montoya would be impossible considering his lap times!!!


Welll even the pit strategy went well for everything to go wrong .... I thought maybe a 5th pos will do but by the time he got to the pit lane and got out it was 7th. Now Montoya and Raikkonen are very close!! Retirements will be horrendous!!!

Williams will hold a slight advantage but Schumi will do well at the Hungaroring IMO. If the car doesn't let him down he will win the Championship this season. But next season I have big doubts!!!


It is heading toward an exciting end. Ferrari needs to work hard for three weeks to make sure they secure both the titles!!

Schumi has amazing control on his car ... he rarely ever features in an accident coz his control is incredible. He is the best driver in the history of the sport!!

Brawn come up with something good man coz this is tight ... way too tight .... Ecclestone's major overhauls to prevent Schumi from making it one way traffic yet again have worked well!!!

Prancing Horse all the way!!! That's for you Shazani If it's a sports car it has to be FERRARI or bust! -> my opinion

P.S In the old super lengthy Hockenheim circuit Schumi wouldnot have even got 7th coz the tire would have gone totally by the time he would reach the pit!!! Something is better than nothing!!

talk about being lucky..

Raikkonen had a great start!

Unfortunately he got rammed by Barichello..

And finally!

Its about time Schumi got un-lucky!

He ALWAYS has things going his way..

ha ha ha ha ... Shazani!!

Raikkonen was always risking himself with that start in the melee! Ralf was the one leading the pack so it was his right to hold his line! Raikkonen being so close was always at risk plus Rubens could hardly do anything as Ralf blocked him!

All three need to learn a thing or two from the World Champion.

I remember the last time Schumi was unlucky!! 1995 ... Spa, Belgium .... last third of the race to go and the Benetton Renault stuck in 5th gear!! He won that race!


P.S If Schumi has things going his way then this season would be over by now just like last year. Ecclestone lost millions of $$$$$$ last year coz the championship ended so early so he made a few adjustments that would bring teams closer to FERRARI.

Nothing's wrong with Schumi and Ferrari. But something wrong indeed with Bridgestone. Schumi got problem with puncture which they happen occasionally in his driver career. I have no idea what caused the puncture even Bridgestone should have done hard work to re-manage tyre compound for final four races of the season.

Losing Rubinho at start certainly been reducing poin 'extra' for consturctors standing, but Ferrari still no losing hope for regrouping in following races.

Here Rubinho's interview about the accident.

Hockenheim, 3rd August - 'I am very disappointed. I had nowhere to go at the moment of the accident. I had an average start. I think both Ralf and Kimi took big risks, especially Kimi who went very wide to get past. Ralf moved to the left and gave me nowhere to go. I braked and then I was hit while not making any changes of direction with the steering wheel. A real shame, as today I could have had a good race and a great result.' Ferrari.com

I don't think Schumi or Ferrari will win both titles this year. Constructor's will go to Williams and Driver's will probably go to Juan Pablo "Kamikaze" Montoya, who has been in excellent form.

Montoya & Raikkonen for McLaren in 2004. Now that's what I call a dream team. Bye bye DC!
Go McLaren!

I heard that the 2001 Sauber Petronas team of Heidfeld and Raikkonen will be revived with McLaren in 2004..

Well let see, the season isn't over yet. Ferrari could take advantage for the final four races which been suited for them before.

nah..

both the drivers and constructors titles are in Ferrari's hands..
