The F1 Thread -2007

Cool.

F1 has got better now Sch has left, hated him :mad:

If you like bikes search for the TT on youtube, that is crazy.

Schumi was and still is a racing god. He had everything that makes a F1 champion.The remotely closest drivers to Schumi I have seen thus far are only Alonso,Massa and Heidfeld.

Clearly F1 has been boring somehow this season after he retired.I think its fair to say he was bigger than the sport.

He was also a cheat, for this reason alone I lost any respect for him.
 
Michael Schumacher was one of, if not, the greatest F1 driver....the hardest working driver out of the car too....first at the track for racing and testing and always the last to leave.

A true winner.
 
A lot better than say were Alonso on pole. In this case the only thing that Massa needs to do is bide his time making sure that Hamilton doesn't get beyond 5 seconds of him. Surely given the long run pace displayed by the Ferraris so far this will give Massa a chance.Besides experience and nerves might tell for the rookie as leading a chasing pack which might include cars with a better package than McLarens in Monaco is completely different prospect to what he has faced thus far.

remember
 
Senna was a cheating prick as well...but everyone seems to love him...what's the story there?

Senna tainted himself no question in 1990, and I'm sure he would be questioned and muttered about much like Schumacher is today, had it not been for the manner of his death in the prime of his life

As a racing driver, I think Senna was greater than Schumacher
 
He was also a cheat, for this reason alone I lost any respect for him.

Almost every driver/team in Formula One can be accused of cheating.However, Schumi's exploits have been blown far out proportion b'se, he was the champion everyone wanted to beat him, he is German and drove for an Italian team, his most memorable incidents were largely against British drivers/teams.
 

Well certain things transpired, first Alonso was on pole and dislodging him even when you have the better package is a heck of a task, second Ferrari just didn't the performance from the car, third their tyre strategy backfired,fourth McLarens were just better and last where the heck was Kimi?
 
I'm off the usgp next weekend...for the third yr in a row. It really is an awesome experience hearing the engine revs and misfires on braking. Anyone else going?
 
I wish!

Enjoy yourself vikram....where in NY are you btw?
 
I missed out on going for Indianapolis with my friends the year they had the big fiasco with only 6 cars running. How I laughed at my friends after that...
 
That's right...it indeed was a farce. Well at least they refunded the ticket money and offered a shot at some free tix through a lottery draw for the next yr's race.
 
I wish!

Btw Marching, you from NY or thereabouts as well? Ever been to the Montreal gp? The reason I'm asking is me and some of my friends were interested in doing both this yr but had to cancel because it got quite hard to work out the logistics...tix, hotels and such.
 
Hamilton takes pole for tomorrow Canadian Grand Prix.

No mate, just a big fan of NYC....one of my fav places.

I've not been to Montreal either....only been to the Belgian, Monaco and GB GP's.

Great pole from Hamiliton today, especially as he'd never even seen the circuit until yesterday.
 
Lewis Hamilton

anyone else extreemly jealous of the amount of talent he has!!?!?!?!
 
Ferrari better do something quickly.Mclaren and that Hamilton bloke are causing a lot of problems.

i think today , they cant change anything,the Ferrari and the mclaren are very close valued,and o some circuits suit the Mclaren some the Ferrari, today it seems a good run for the mercedes
 
He was carried unconcious to the hospital, they don't know in what condition he is yet.
 
Yes, they just confirmed it on TV here, a bit late
 
Congrats to Lewis-Hamilton!

Sounds like Kubica has something broken?

The guy talking to Hamilton was about to say it and they cut him off.

You heard it here first!

Edit: Broken leg. Feel bad for him, but it could've been far worse...
 
Magnificent from Hamilton, well done lad

I think Kubica will be delighted to come out of that accident with just a broken leg, was a real bad smash into two walls, one at top speed too. Wish him the best
 
Fantastic drive and win from Hamilton - he's got talent way beyond his years.

Future great without a doubt!

Terrifying accident with Kubica - to escape with a broken leg just shows how much car safety has improved over the last few years.

Lewis Hamilton - world championship leader. Brilliant.
 
Hamilton is class,to have your lead erroded that many times from safety car stoppages and still have the composure to come through shows his metal and at such an age will be a champion no doubt.
 
How shite are Ferrari and Kimi ? Not just behind Mclaren but even BMW were better than them today.

Its upto Alonso and Lewis to fight it out for the championship now.


god damm awful and totally lack of pace, they better do something quickly to improve the speed of their car or else this turn into a McClaren stroll for both the drivers and constructors title.
 
Good drive by Hamilton, made Fernando look silly...there's bound to be some payback for that mind.

Hope Lewis shuts his mouth for the week now.....or at least says something worthwhile....'I'm living the dream....can't believe it'....boring cnut.
