    Damn, Ferrari lost again because of mistakes. How often do you see this? :) I find it really annoying when the commentators said that the new rules have make the race more interesting! That's extremely biased! Just because Ferrari didn't dominate! That race was boring, even from a non-Ferrari fan point of view...

    Schuey must be quite honoured. Rarely has a sport changed it's entire rule to make it harder for that person to win. Chamberlain is the only one I can think of right now. :D

    You're kinda right, if the other drivers suck, why bother downgrading the game to fit them in ?? Yo don't see they put Tiger Woods on blindfolded do you ?

    I'm not old enough to know how well Chamberlain plays. So what sort of rules did they change? :) I only know he still holds the record for most point scored in a game. :)

    Running into the back of another car and wiping your wing out is a good start 8)

    sounds more like a planned sabotage!! i'd like to see some rogue racer start to go opposite direction and screw up the race.

    Hey, please. If you have not watch the race, please don't make comments like this. I know it's a joke, but it can be annoying too...

    It was clear that he made a big mistake, and got a drive thru penalty. And after the race, he apologise Trulli. It certainly is a good start for the championship. And Ferrari has a lot of catching up to do...

    I'm wayyyyyy younger than you I think ;) .. But the NBA raised the basket height to today's standard just sto stop him from dunking everytime the ball is in his hand :) .. Now that's power ;)

    The match is still quite open I think, only 2 matches and the points are quite equal for now. No 234 lead points for anyone ;). It's quite hard for a talent to prospect in F1 I think, since the machines is given more importance than the driver itself. And a small failure can totally screw a match up. Thats why Alex Yoong isn't in there... if he only drove a Ferrari ;)

    Hey, please, Alex Yoong was in a totally different class from the rest of the field, in a bad way. :)

    YUP... i totally agree.... even if Shue drove the mirardi and Alex drove the ferrari... (acutally i think the williams's BMW engine have more power) Alex would still be left so far behind.. sheuy would probably finish the race, take a plane back to germany and still be home faster than alex... LOL

    but anyway... I persoanlly find that the race is more interesting...unpredictable acutally....so it create a lot of interest now from the general public, those that dun really know abut the true mechanics of a F1-race... :)

    I doubt those ratings are accurate, because F1 is such a competitive motorsport, I doubt they will even leak out the information of their engine specification.

    Yeah, I agree with that. Aerodynamics is very very very important, which makes Ferrari the winning car all these years, even not having the most powerful engine.
