When does the season start for you? Today is Wednesday. The Friday practice is (for us euros) the night from thursday tio friday. Qualifying is friday/saturday and the race sunday morning.
Today is already almost over, so it is
1. Thursday
2. Friday
3. Saturday and a little, tiny, minute, small, micro-fragment of sunday. That means less than 72 hours to go ...

Yeah, but my cable-tv provider nuked the supply of RTL. There is no way for me to watch the practice and qual sessions, unless I go see Ben Dover Ordie. And he wants to do nasty things with (and to) me. So for me the season starts on Raceday.

So its 5 and 1/2 hours of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and 4 hours of Sunday, and the red lights go green. Thats five days in my book.

It's great to have the first GP in your own Country, with an Aussie driver on the grid.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Oi! Oi! Oi!

Yes, that must be something special. Maybe I will close to that in a couple of years, since PS2 F3000 have just signed a danish driver. Of course, I dont think that the "Jyllandsring" will ever host an F1 event...

I thought this was wrong. I was looking at the dates thinking "Why the hell do they think it's 5 days to go when it is still over a week?"

This is from last year!!!!!!!!!!!

I reckon Shumi will have his 5th World title in the bag by France!

I fancy Minardi to get a few points in 2002 too!!!!!!

Okay, to save you the work, I have got the exclusive script here:

Alex:

Why?

Ellis:

Because Michael Schumacher is a cheat

Alex:

You have no proof for that!

Ellis:

Where do i start?

Macau 90: Lies to Mika, then admits it on TV later

France 94: Launch control used by Benetton

UK 94: Pass's Hill on formation lap: Gets DQ, black flag is withdrawn (first and only time its happened in F1) EVENTUALLY MS gets a ban for being a prat

Hockenhiem 94: Benetoon again, removed fuel filters to save time on pit stops, almost kills Jos at the same time

Adelade 94: Takes out hill

silverstone 97 (i think): Saftey Car out -ferrari complain that JV is following it too closely: JV giving ine race suspended ban - if he does anything else wrong - hes banned

Suzuka 97: 11 drivers run through yellow flags, MS included. JV only one to get in trouble. Nte that if JV won the race, he would be champ. Favours MS?

Argentina 98: Runs into the side of DC spinning him round (was probably thinking " I wish i ahd this car Jerez 97";)

Monaco 98: (not MS fault but shows how biast FIA are) Wurz is blue flagged and forec to let MS past....they were racing for position at the time

Canada 98: Pushs of HHF on exit of pit lane, HHF is lucky to escape what could have been a massive crash

Silvertsone98: Wins in pit lane without taking penatly: Rules changed to allow MS to keep the win

Belgum 98: first runs into DC, who was folloing team orders. Goes down the pit lane and tried to punch DC shuting "HE TRIED TO @#$%& KILL ME"

Austria 99: Irvine suddenyl slows, Ferrari claim brake problems - MS pass's. He was low down after passing under yellow flags

Sepang 99: Ferrari DQ - bardge boards are illegal. rules changed - Ferrari back in - tolerence is now a HUGE (by F1 standards) 5mm

Spain 2000: first time his famous starts are see, moving right accross the track at the start

France 2000: ame again, this time DC has to brake to avoid crahsing into MS.Also, whilst DC is on outside into hairpin, MS clearly turns into DC, forcing the McLaren wide. DC gets his revenge later

Sepang 2001: Pass's Rubens when told not too. Ferrari say not to pass until it drives, they wanted both cars to finsih. MS goes round Rubens, when Rubens asks whey he gets no reply from team

Austria 01: Rubens told to move over at finish line, allows MS to take 2nd

Nurburgring 01: Weaves agin, forcing bother ralf, to either back off, or go into the wall. Ralf wasnt impressed

Malaysia 02: Understeers into JPM, JPM is given the penatly MS fault = JPM in trouble

Brazil 02: JPM fault this time, so basic logic means MS should get apenatly if last race is to go by? Nope

austria 02: Same again, allow MS tow win. Had his hand up all the way around the lap, then put on an act when he heard the boos.

ALex:

96 - ferrari was at least as good as that Benetton, only the Ferrari wasnt as relaible, but when it was MS wasnt always right at the front.

Actually, you're wrong. Schumacher finished 10 races in 1996. 8 of those he finished on the podium. I'd say that's pretty damn impressive.

97 - Ferrari was second best car - so if its bad, then whats the mianrdi?

Perhaps it was second best - although the Benetton was very close - but the Williams was streets ahead, but Schumacher still managed to make up the gap and take the championship down to the wire.

98 - car was decent enough

... for what? Are you suggesting Schumacher should have won the championship, because the car was good enough? Do you seriously think anybody else in that car would have been able to be anywhere near as competitive as Michael?

Mika was faster in USA, by a fair bit, and then engine failure :';(

That's not true at all. Michael was faster than Mika all weekend, then a few laps from the end, the Ferrari started to chew its tyres up horrendously again, like at Spa, and Hakkinen started reeling in a struggling Schumacher - again, like at Spa.

the only two words you know are jerez and adelaide and you can't see past them.

Too true. Although do them the courtesy of extending that vocabulary to "cheat" and "dirty" and "driver", too

Man thatw as fun, shall we do it again?

Yes let's, but this time shall we switch perspectives for a moment.

anything i missed out? :D

Well, yes actually. Quite conveniently, all of the above was missed out. I cannot imagine why...?

I was surprised that FIA let JV start, I was worried he might cause an accident to take MS out

Damn nearly did as well. Swerving out of the pits at 190mph and chopping across Schumacher (who brilliantly dummied him and took the lead).

Actaully the race suspended ban was for following the saftey car too closely, which was only acted on cos Ferrari complained

But of course, Ellis, that's a petit matter isn't it, because it's not Schumacher that did it? I love the way you wrote that, in that 'off-hand' way. You can bet your bottom dollar if Schumacher had been following the safety car too closely, it would become a crime against humanity, and he'd be hammered for it and called a cheat... etc.

I did mention it, read up again, please read all posts before replying

No... you're not thinking of the right incident. Second pitstop (I think), Villeneuve exits and swerves across into the path of the Ferrari. But hey! Who cares!?!?!?!? It wasn't Schumacher that did it so it's OK!!!!!!!!!

I think now the best driver is Schumy. And that's the truth. Some drivers need more experience, some are not quick. Schumacher has a good car, a good teammate & a talent for 6-th title. It willbe hard for Montoya, Ralph, David & Kimi to change his car number from one to another! I don't say anything about Barrichello. I think you understand why... ;)
