heres the red bull thingy

i'm kinda into F1. i've always like williams for some reason.

 

I got into F1 when Toyota entered the championship in 2002 and have been cheering for them ever since, even though they are flagrant cheaters. I've always been a huge Toyota fan...Product of my upbringing, I suppose.

BUT, I have recently been cheering for BAR-Honda/Sato as well. Wow, that guy is amazing. I took a liking to him when he was with Jordan-Honda, even though many doubted him.

Well, now there is no doubt that he can tear ass. He and that Honda are some kind of force to be reckoned with, as long as it is spewing oil out the exhaust. I would be so happy to see him podium soon...Honda needs to give him an engine that works...Funny how Button doesn't blow up...Maybe Taku runs it harder.

Anyway, I hope Honda beats Renault this year. They can do it. Ferrari is taking notice.

 

F1 is affordable. You can get a weekend ticket for $70 general admission which is the best way to go. Rent a minivan and sleep in the back. I went in 2k2 and my brother went in the first ever race in 2000 and then with me in 2k2. Given Indy may no longer be on the calendar I would recommend going because F1 racing is a site to watch.

If any of you want to see certain articles PM me and I will try and look into them.

 

Schumacher has only been outqualified twice this year. How are you saying that he is being outqualified? Honda has the most powerful engine in F1, they just need to get a better handling package and a good second driver. Sato is great but he tends to get into trouble a lot. What makes Ferrari a champion is the car is a constant development and not a radical switch from year to year.

 

Kinda OT axemansean, but you might wanna add Le Mans to your sig as well. It's this weekend too, right?

 

Yes... sadly I am only covering F1 and IRL on HAN at this time and hence the sig. But I will be watching Le Man this weekend too. Coffee will be my new best friend.

 

this confirms what i said...alonso and button are two of the most talented drivers who don't have a car that can easily dominate the others...the only two to outqualify schumacher were button and trulli (alonso still out qualified schumacher at monaco too)

 

I believe the qualification methods right now are not fair. You can run on fumes and qualify 2 seconds quicker. The Silverstone GP will mark the return on the old method in a way. But, I do dread the new rules being enforced from next year.

 

An American driver in F1 is a distant dream. There are 0 drivers in F3000 the primary feeder series into F1 from the 3 last year who did horribly. The Red Bull search IMHO is crap because you need the drivers to go through the ranks. The US has Cart which is the only major open wheel road racing series whereas Europe has tons and tons of open wheel events. Europe has scouts that walk the go kart tracks looking for talent, in the US its all about Nascar.

 

OK, gotcha. At least SPEED has decided to show all the big races. Still doesn't excuse them for leaving out other important (or at least entertaining/exciting) overseas series like JGTC. Anything is better than NASCAR Classic.

I agree. In my personal opinion, though, it doesn't matter where or how you qualify. What really matters is how you race and where you finish.

Again, I completely agree. Then again, I don't wanna see Jeff Gordon in a Williams BMW. That would kinda ruin the mystique of F1, IMHO.
