2006 Japanese GP Thread

*shakes head and tuts*

 

How does one know that...

1) Schumi will 'pass Massa' at the 1st Pit stop in the Japanese GP??

Remember Felipe you're from Brazil and F1 races there in 2 weeks. Would you like a ->1 way ticket home<- or a return ticket to Italy and a 'drive' next year?

2) Fisi wil get out of Alono's way at the 'Race start'

Flav *Canned* Alonso's right wheel tire changer from last's week's race and Fisi isn't that much better.

3) Ralph will run 'Block' for Ferrari.

Schumi has the 2nd set of film negatives of Ralph's wife's early modeling career.

 

Rather strange Ferraris relative lack of race pace today looks like Bridgstone had a "big one lap" in them and er um thats it.

Dont think M$ was happy in the car for quite a while before the engine let go

 

What do you think Ferrari's tactics will be for next GP with Schui needing 10 points more than Alonso. Get Massa to take him off the road??

 

Schumy will probably do that himself. He does have a previous record for it...

 

Yeah but that backfired one year, 1996?? with Villenieve?? (I have a crap memory and crap spelling).

 

It was the final GP of 1997. He smacked into the side of Villeneuve when Villeneuve tryed to pass him and therefore win the championship.

Plus he did the same with Hill.

and Coulthard

and Hakkinen

and even his brother.....

 

Very disappointed for the Schu he drove his heart out today, and his first engine failure in something like 5 years what a time to have one.

He'll go down fighting though... he'll be nothing other than spectacular in Brazil.

I find it sad that that one always comes up, what he did to Villeneuve was stupid, but he was punished for it, but what happened with Hill wasn't anywhere near as clear cut, Schumacher did have the racing line, and was clearly in front and it's not like Hill doesn't have form for over estimating his overtaking abilities... see Silverstone '95, Monza '95 for example.

It's interesting that Senna, Prost or even Mansell do not get anywhere near the same levels of flack even though they were just as adept at committing the professional foul.

 

What a crap way to decide the race.

Well, the championship might not come down to the last race, but maybe we'll still see a good fight in Brazil.
