The brakes are a device "capable of preventing the driven wheels from spinning under power" right? </TD></TR></TABLE>

HAHAHA! That's entertaining.

What interested me:
The fact that more people said they would attend 5 races over 1, 2, 3, and 4 races.
No surprise Schumacher is the most favorite driver, but second is Kimi
I liked the fact that most people disagreed that F1 was managed well.
Interesting to note that tire changes made racing "more exciting"
The fact that the Q3 shootout was neither more or less exciting.
The claim that Asian fans knew less about the technical aspects of the sport.
66% of fans would be interested in a F1 game (I would only if it were really realistic)

Thanks Spade </TD></TR></TABLE>

Glad to share. I was always wondering what they did with the results and the presentation was nice.

I think what really stood out for me was the results about fans wanting more telemetry, driver to team radio, and in car shots, and looking back, I think it's definatly increased! I still really crave the ability to watch from which ever camera I choose over the internet instead of reliying on a regional director feeling the need to show Taku running in the back with no one around him while Kimi and Hami battle it out up front.

This season should be interesting. Some interesting line up changes have already happened with Alonso first leaving McLaren and Micheal Schumacher agreeing to at least test in the pre-season for Ferrari. No doubt this is a huge advantage to Ferrari with Schumacher's great development skills. They should be have a good start to their season. Although Alonso hasn't released any information my speculation is he is looking at either BMW(if they have the budget) or Renault for next season. I would personally like to see him behind the wheel of a BMW espeacially with the momentum they have been having.

Question to those who followed last season, who is the primary driver at Ferrari this year? Massa was previously not sure if they have switched Kimi over to primary yet. I'm curious because Kimi was surpased in pace for most the season. What is everyone else's stance on this subject? Curious to see what others think.

Julian &lt;-----------Rooting for Massa/Ferrari, just like last year.

Wendys or Bust

dam it, I couldn't even make it early enough for page 1. Oh well, I'll have to settle for page 2.


I have to admire Alonso for being on vacation, without have a contract with a current team. So far any and all signs point to Renault. But we'll see, I'm just curious as to why he hasn't signed with them yet though. You'd think he'd be quick to jump ship back to Renault seeing as how his last two seasons went with them.

Regardless of what he decides to do, any team that signs a contract with him should be in for a ride; in both a positive and negative way. lol

AND, things I'd like to see in the 08' season:
-Reseruction of Honda
-BMW being more consistant in the podium
-Kimi to take verbal classes
-Hamilton to prove he doesn't need and help from THAT Spaniard
-Barichello to do anything exciting
-The Red Bull teams (Toro Rosso too) seem to be getting progressivly better, but they still need to improve
-I do NOT want to see Nakajima run over anymore of his pitcrew
-AND last one; I want it to rain and rain and rain.

Tis all

Ferrari will still state driver equality, and I'm sure will give both of them an equal chance at the title....until one is out of the running!

Massa FTMFW!!!

Yes, and Braun has stated that Rubens was just as fast as Michael which is why he's staying at Honda.

I think its cool that they have previous relations, and it will help Honda grow.

Just checking in.

Hopefully Brawn can make some changes quickly. It would be nice to see honda more competitive this year. I know if they aren't this year, they definitely should be the following year under Brawn.

Oh you can be assured of this step foreward... Just wait until the following season bwahahahaha

Nishant

Yeah, but I'm hoping he pulls something off. I am a Ferrari fan and would love for them to win again. At the same time, it would be nice to see more front runners than just two like last season
