    Some of you already know, that I'm a big F1 fan. :arp: I don't how many of you watch F1, but it seems drab is one of them. :) Glad that there's some F1 fans around here.

    Woohoo! Yes, the horse got it's head back! First and Third! Time for Ferrari to get back its glory!

    LOL! All those funny names for the drivers! British supporting British driver! I which I could support our own country man, if Mou Yoong (useless) was a lot faster... :)

    "The only time I like frogs is when their legs are on my plate"

    I wish I can understand this though. :D

    Werne: Haha, I don't remember the names as well. All I know is that it's after the 'Vilenerve' chicane. I didn't really see who has the cleanest lap, thanks to the helicopter view. :) But if you notice, Schumacher is not taking a lot of curbs, especially at the chicane before the finish line. That could be the reason why MS was slightly slower at the last sector. I thought MS would be faster than that, but it's fast enough I guess. :)

    The french and english have always been in competition to insult each other.we call the french(or their relatives) frogs.they call us horrible names as well.All in friendly fashion(mostly) :lol:(the reason we call the french frogs is because of their habit of eating them) :?

    As usual, ferrari fans always like to shout out loud, exactly like liverpool fans.
    Mclaren and MU fans are on the same boat. they always keep quiet and celebrate in the end of the season :D

    hi drab! so ur an englishman living in spain? surprised me, i thought u were spanish! How did u end up in spain? bcos of work?

    Chai : I didn't notice whether he was riding the curbs r not as i am watiching the italian feed n i think malaysia is getting the itv feed, right?
    So not sure whether we're seeing the same feed or not.....but anyways, Schu sr. first 2 sectors were very smooth and decisive! The smoothest of all, after seeing all the other cars.......As for the third, i guess getting the car to cross the finish line is a lot better than crashing out...hehe

    All i can say is the iceman is gonna pull out another one out of the hat today. Sometimes i wish mclaren dumped DC and kept hakkinen instead.

    Yup, now everyone should get the same feed, since there's no more Digital coverage. I really don't know what happened in third sector, he seems to be very slow. According to him, he was not risking it with the margin he opened in the first 2 sectors. But 0.01 seconds, that was close. :) I think he deserves to win this race, being the fastest all weekend.

    se7en: Mclaren did try to keep Hakinnen. It was totally his own decision. Coulthard is an OK driver. He's quite consistent, but not a consistent winner though. And yes, the Mclaren may surprise us today.

    hey! Mclaren didn't dump MK!! He made the decision to leave mclaren, not because Mclaren kicked him out.

    Mika decided to take a year sabatical because DC kept complaining that the team was always giving mika a preference over him during the race. He actually said he wasn't winning races because he was getting the second rate treatment compared to mika. That year that mika underperformed, it was the car and also ferrari's superiority that made him look bad. Read around the F1 (especially mclaren based) forums and you will know that if there was one driver in the F1 circuit that everybody liked, it was Mika, and there was only one person who was not too happy with mika being around, DC.

    Now with kimi in the team, DC is still the one coming out behind. Yes, he is very consistent, and he drives a very quiet race, but that doesn't win you championships. Driving the car to the limit will.

    I've seen his interview about why Hakinnen decided to retire. It was really nothing about rivalry between Hakinnen and Coulthard. Hakinnen has nothing left to prove in F1, he has to WDC in his hands, A lovely family plus a cute baby boy, Hugo. Why risk his life any further. His body language says it all in Monaco 2002, when he told Ron Dennis he decided to quit. I didn't make this up. This is what he said in the interview.

    Yes, well done MS! He performed extremely well, especially under this sort of circumstances.

    But raikonen is not bad too. Consistent enough. If he keeps up the 1/2 position all season. Wow... ;) Impossible I know.

    Do you know where's Hakkinen now? I heard he's into Rally now. Saw it at the mamak's Astro. Didn't hear what it says though.

    Still I love Hakkinen, the friendliest F1 driver ever. :lol:

    I prefer to associate Mclaren with Arsenal... hehe. :D
