Official Formula 1 thread!

yeah, but sato is famous for his driving style recall the last years Jap GP this and this year incident with Ralf was not only Ralf's fault, although he suffer more and even was punished harder I didnot conceice that

FIA has warned Ralf. Steward considered Ralf was 'quilty' by the time he got crashed by Sato at 7th lap in Bahrain GP. At that time, Sato would had taken back his 4th position, but his 'racing-line' closed by Ralf..and that's what happened...'bum'...

yeah we know it's so hard to maintain a powerful car in a very-very high speed. Only the choosen one could do it perfectly.

at least that time Ralf did it better, crashed his car into Sato's, not his teammate, Montoya.

If it would have had happened, Montoya soon will be moving to McLaren at Monaco GP...

just can't hardly wait. but mostly i'm waiting for McLaren's new car on German's GP at Hockenheim.

guess that will never be presented like last year's or it will be the total fiasco as usual:lol:

no matter if mclearn had a concorde for an engine they would never catch michael schumacher now. its enivatable a seventh WC for schumi and his fifth in a row.

Ladies and gentleman ye are all witnessing a legend at play not work but play

Next round, Monaco GP at Monte Carlo on May 23, 2004

Monaco GP has always been full of glamour over the years. The circuit; the yachts; the champagne; the famous people..the circuit itself is an extraordinary one, an exceptional side. From first curve at Sainte Devote till Casino Square , Grand Hotel hairpin, Tunnel , Tabac , Piscine La Rascasse ....all of them similar to knife point. Nonetheless the most dangerous curve is Armco . It is really hard to make overtaking manoeuvre here but who cares anyway?If you'd like to win at Monte Carlo, you polls position on Saturday qualifying is a must and you keep it up on Sunday race!

Schumi has made five straight wins-broke Williams' Nigel Mansell's record in the opening of 1992. Does he continue six straight wins or Jarno Trulli who shone at Catalunya will break his record?Don't forget to watch guys...

Forza Trulli!! Button never had a chance..!

Too bad for Schumy but apparently he hit the brakes in the tunnel and Montoya went to his side to avoid rear ending him. I don't know how true that is but it explains why Montoya suddendly tried to get beside Schumy.

Montoya = over-zealous, over-anxious and he cannot control his car!!


Schumacher wouldn't have won the race but maybe he had a decent podium finish!!! There were lots of incidents today!!

I saw it on ITV here in England.


1. Martin Brundle while interviewing people on the starting grid was saying that there are loads of people who are unknown here and then while looking for Ecclestone he bumped into a chick and kissed her on both cheeks so quickly she didn't know what hit her!! She obliged but it was awesome to see!


2. Sato jump started by a mile!! And then he nudged Schumi


3. Ferrari crew man sleeping in the pit while the camera focused on him. Poor guy got slapped from behind by a team member who woke him up


4. Alonso showed the middle finger to Ralf through frustration!!

5. Alonso waited for one more lap to show his frustration at Ralf and that was classic as well

6. Post Race Trulli saying that he would've won even if Schumi was there as he had everything under control

7. Alonso post race laying all the blame on Ralf and saying that he always does this stuff!! Clearly pissed at him!!


Anyways it was a good classic race and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

What A Race!!!
the most entertaining so far.

btw, i've just heard that JPM wants to cancel McLaren contract. Is it true?
