Things should be interesting! Ralf and Trulli to Toyota, Fisi to Renault, JPM to McLaren, Webber to Williams...whole new look to the grid!

<--- Can't wait for '05

 

BAR refuses to confirm Sato for 2005. Something might be in the works there....

 

i bet Sato will stay, what's his name (Richardson?), i think it was the technical director, has given pretty high praise to Sato. you have to admit he's shown some pretty good potential.

 

I think you combined David Richards and Anthony Davidson into one person, and the technical director is Jeffery Willis. LOL!

I think Sato will stay as well, especially because Davidson's good performances have been exaggerated by the fact that his car had a higher rev limit on the Friday test days. Sato has been brilliant on occasion, but also inconsistent and unreliable. I think he'll get one more year to calm down before they dump him for somebody else. Hopefully Jenson is there to stay though.

how does this guy still have a ride and people like DC do not?

 

DC is over the hill.

Has a second driver been confirmed for Williams yet? I'd really like to see Villeneuve come back.

 

Because Cardboard, God bless his soul, is more than a second off of the pace of his teammate. After DC's championship run a few years ago, he just hasn't been the same.

I want Mika back.

yes mika rules but i think DC is faster than fisi.

 

Davidson should replace Sato ASAP.

I think once Sato develops a little patience and learns to be less abusive on the equipment, then he will be up front.

DC = long term test driver. Nothing more. Fisi, by most accounts, has been under-rated; we'll see what he 'll be able to do in a proven chassis (i.e., Renault), as he has already shown pace in the better Sauber (better v. the Jordan).
I'm looking forward to seeing Webber in the Williams -- I'd love to see him as a consistent podium finisher. I 'd also like to see Davidson replace "Taku." Davidson deserves the seat, but since Sato is a grommed Honda asset, he is where he is.

Me t00.

I'd rather he be at Mclaren than JPM. All I know is the minute JPM starts his selfish BS and disrupts the team, I will curse him to no end!

 

I agree. Sato's last few races have been nothing but abismal. Button goes from 13th to 2nd and Sato finishes 8th with Pizzaria beating him out on the last lap? Ferrari would have let him go a long time ago.

 

I don't think I can agree with you more. The Schuey vs. Mika battles were some of the best. Remember Mika's pass at Spa? Wasn't the guy they split at Spa, after Eau Rouge(sp?), JV? One of the best passes eVaR.

Yeah, and I don't much like Joan Paula either. But Webber is fast, aggresive, and very much a team player.

I wasn't very fond of McLaren (mostly b/c of Ron Denis' sterile attitude), but the way they turned around this season, with the new car was amazing. I've got to give it up to their persistence, and their ability to weather all the criticism regarding their early season lack of pace.
JPM will surely be crying, but his *** is grass the 1st time he knock Kimi off the track ; we all know Kimi is the quicker b/w the two, and Denis has a fondness for Finnish drivers. JPM will be on thin ice once his bantering starts up.

 

Whats Formula One? Is the the race series where the do High Speed Parade laps with no Passing?????

 

Yeah, the new car is definitely amazing. Took "Turn Around of the Year" right away from BAR.

I'm kinda liking McLaren more and more. What was once Dennis's sterility is now a cut throat competivity. I even like Cardboard a little bit though it's strictly b/c he's an underdog. I'm trying to like Kimi but his English frustrates me to no avail. I'll yell at the TV, "just friggin' say something understandable!"

 

I like Kimi as well, but what do you think of his recent physicallity w/ the stewards and press ? Obviously he was pissed about his rear wing flying apart @ 190+, but c'mon. Put a lid on it until you get back into the garage, and take out your frustration somewhere else.

 

Ehhh, I was fairly abhorred by it the first few times he did that. But this last time wasn't so bad - he didn't push the marshal - just threw his arms up.

I probably would have kicked the car a few times.

On another note, looks like Button had fuel for 5 more laps after he finished the German GP. Willis says that that was good for another .5 second per lap. If BAR can correct the way they measure fuel, maybe Button can give Schuey a run for his money.

i would have tripped out also if i was on schueys *** right b4 my car fell apart lol.

 

Don't how factual, or anecdotal this is, but I read somewhere that the telemetry showed Kimi's heartrate jump over 200BPM at the moment the wing, and car, came undone.

Exactly!

IMO, he's the only driver who is not scared to go "toe to toe" w/ Schumacher.
