i noticed SATO was bestowed #16, mugen hondas traditional number. i was so happy to see he raced a good raced and especially wasnt bullied by you know who. im glad the announcers immediately saw it for what it was, and put the blame right where it belonged. GOOD BOY TAKU!

Rumors are flying that Schumi and Kimi actually had a fist fight after the race at Suzuka. Kimi apparently walked up to him and said, "You are my idol, but I do not like the way in which you behave."

interesting, this report on the actual post discussion between MS and Sato.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Crash.net &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Taku also battled with Michael Schumacher and Ralf Shumacher and he wasn't overtaken by either of them. Michael made a mistake at the chicane when he touched Taku's car and broke his front wing, while Ralf gave up and took pit stop. [After the race, Taku said that he didn't realise that Michael touched his car, because he checked the distance between himself and Michael at 130R and was convinced he wouldn't be overtaken].

In the garage, Michael came to see Taku. Taku didn't know about Michael's trouble, so Taku said congratulations on another championship. Michael however was more concerned about that incident, and said he thought Taku should have given way. In the end they agreed to disagree and congratulated each other on a good result.</TD></TR></TABLE>

My money would be on Schumi... Kimi wouldn't stand a chance, that mumbling putz. (Trash talk of course all you literalists)

recent quote from JV -
"It is a strong possibility that my racing career is finished, but I am comfortable with that," he told to Montreal's La Presse newspaper.

"To be honest, there is a part of me that does not necessarily want to return to the F1 paddock. There is nothing there that I will miss, and I don't think I will get bored. I will do all that I did before, but more intensely. I will ski a lot, and I also want to take some music courses to do the things correctly.

"I don't need to race - I can get the same amount of adrenaline and competition when I go shopping for ski stuff! If I want to spend time in a car, I can always buy myself a race track and run with my friends. That has to be better than to paying to run with Jaguar, doesn't it?"

yeah, he's a WINNER!

haha Exactly! I've been waiting to hear something like this from one of these drivers for a while now. lol

Seems to me like JV has a lot more going on in his life than the racetrack, which IMO is very good (and mentally healthy).

He might miss his huge salary...but then again who knows how much fortune he has already amassed, so maybe he doesn't care.
