F1: Silverstone

MercedesAMG · June 7th, 2006, 8:45 PM

another F1 weekend... so whose gonna win it.. Renault or Ferrari...

i am still rooting for mclaren, but i still think they are too slow regardless of their performance at monaco.. monaco is more of a drivers track

mmap · June 7th, 2006, 8:56 PM

Yeah, this is a track for a fast car... 78% of the track driven on full throttle.

So yeah Mclaren will probaly not be fighting for a win, even if it is their home race. Personally I'd like to see someone else win for a change, Jensons turn finally??

LoneWolf · June 7th, 2006, 9:00 PM

The chances of Jenson winning are like the chances of Alonso losing the title this year.......

Although I hate their domination of the sport, I'm not betting against Renault and Alonso taking another win.

One of my favourite races of the season - I look forward to it so much since the cars are just spectacular at Silverstone.

I can't see the status quo changing - though it would be fantastic to see Kimi finally get the result he deserves.

MercedesAMG · June 8th, 2006, 7:35 PM

anyone on the forum going to be there?

I just hope he manages to get a lift back to the pits instead of having to walk all the way like usual images/smilies/lol.gif

whatever, it happens.. i'll still be rooting for kimi

otispunkmeyer · June 10th, 2006, 1:32 PM

alonso again....what a cvnt. i hate his smug spanish guts

mmap · June 11th, 2006, 1:07 PM

meh, pit tactics suck...

Anyway, they said on the tele that Buttons first quali was ruined by the fact that he had to go to the weighing, and didn't have the time to go back and improve his time anymore... can someone confirm that its the case??

If so, then how much does that suck!

Greatgraddage · June 11th, 2006, 3:56 PM

Bit of a boring race to be honest. Alonso and renault just don't make mistakes. Everyone got too spread out.

I was talking about his luck in general, not just Monaco!

LoneWolf · June 11th, 2006, 5:45 PM

Another boring win by Alonso, good to see Schumacher get 2nd, but it does seem the championship is over images/smilies/sad.gif

Looks like Mr Speed is gonna be dragged in front of the Stewards (again) for taking out Ralf, who subsequently took out Mark.W.

Looking forward to Canada though, one of my fave races images/smilies/smile.gif

fbc · June 12th, 2006, 2:18 AM

Quiet race, apart from Speed vs Judgement, and Kimi vs Michael after the Safety Car.

I can't see anyone truly challenging Alonso - he's just controlling the races and driving just as quick as he needs to, but no quicker.

SLR · June 12th, 2006, 4:44 AM

I think michael lost time with kimmi ahead of him, he could have pushed alonso if he was second in quali, he had the pace. Another boring race like spain. In the first few races of the season atleast alonso was not on pole so he fought through the field to win, but now from pole to win every race.

watto · June 12th, 2006, 7:47 AM

Bloody hell, poor Webber.

SOmebody buy that guy some luck for his birthday images/smilies/cry.gif

Oh yes, you are right. That is worrying, at least last year Mclaren could claim to have a fast car which kept breaking down. This year they don't have that excuse anymore.

Poor Kimi, he deserves better then this.
