Of course he does.

hmm....I'm sorry, but I serious hate anti-Ferrari fans like this... when I see posts like this, I'll start flaming people. But since I'm a forum admin here, sigh...guess I have to keep quiet.

To be honest, I never do that to other fans, because I know how it feels when someone say that to you. Even if I wanna say that, I won't do it in front of them. And remember, F1 rivalry isn't like football at all...

Miss it or not, is not what I'm concerned about. If Ferrari was beaten fair and square without someone finding a loophole like what Michelin did, I wouldn't complain. So if Ferrari is beaten in Monza again, then I have nothing to say but to keep quiet and hope for the best in the future. Domination in F1 will end sooner or later. There's no team in F1 history has won more than 5 consecutive years. So I was not surprised it happens now.

True, but indirectly. In a way, he is laughing at losers...but I still won't say that to fans of other teams. So if you are a Kimi fan, if I said that 'how did you feel when his engine blew up in Nurburgring?' How would you react?

Unlike football, when the players underperformed = lose, of course, there are some minor reasons. But that's not exactly the case in F1. There are way too many factors in F1...

I'm really glad that MS won this race. Not only he kept his championship alive, we will also have tight races towards the end of the season. The funny thing about the tyre controversy is that even with the new tyres, Montoya said that it didn't make any significant difference. So much for Ferrari complaining to FIA.

Quote:

oh... Chai, did you miss seeing the red car in front?

Since you asked that question, I will answer you now. 'Yup, I missed it, two days seemed long to me!

'

Monza is a great track. I personally like that track, other than those silly chicanes to slow them down...

But even with those chicanes, they managed to break a 30+ year old record, fastest race in F1 history, averaging 194mph, including pit stops!

The race was pretty boring towards the end of the race, because Ferrari was running light on the wings, able to prevent JPM from overtaking even though he was closing him fast. IMO, the real reason for lack of overtaking is due to the new qualifying rule. Even with a fast circuit like Monza where overtaking is a piece of cake, the cars finished according to the starting grid!

I'm really sorry about the earlier comment about anti-Ferrari fans. Because I'm getting sick of all these comments about this suck, that suck from other forums without any constructive reasons. I would love to have civilised discussions here. Whether you are pro-Ferrari or anti-Ferrari fan, as long as you don't make silly comments, you are welcomed. I apologised again.

Dashken · 16th Sep 2003, 04:38 PM

They sux. LOL!

Anyway, the Monza was kinda boring. So predictable from start to finish. But the beginning of the race at the first turn, that's really something. But too bad, MS has fast reaction.

Montoya and Kimi, don't let us all down in the remaining races. No matter who wins in the end, hope it's going to be tight. 8)

i've always found monza to be pretty boring. this year was the same. also monza being the home gp for ferrari, results are always pretty predictable.

anyway, just hope kimi and juan can keep up the good work. we're in for a photo finish hopefully. bring on the US GP!

Chai · 16th Sep 2003, 08:13 PM

Do you know that, from 80 to 87, no Ferrari has won there before...

98 was a pretty good race, and in 2001, Ferrari didn't win too.

You need to put top runners at the back of the grid to see a good race.

Here's something really interesting! A satallite shot of the Monza race circuit! It was taken just shortly before the race started last week!

Well, you can clearly see the old oval circuit, banked! You can also see all the F1 trucks behind the pits. A golf course right beside the race track. Wow, fantastic shot!
