Good on ya Webber

Finally an ozzie in the top 3. We haven't seen that for a while! It goes to show that these one qualifiers work very well!

If you're Australian :P

But yea, I think it's fantastic he's put himself up there. I sincerely hope he performs well, both for himself and Jaguar as a team.

isn't it nice to have some different colours mixing up the front.
and a new accent in the press conf!


lets just hope schu doesn't wipe him out...

lest just hope he has the fuel.... doubt it though must be the highest aussie since jones

24 Heures Du Mans 18-19 June 2005

Actually, i was pretty high last night!

lol!

i can't rember any aussies inbetween jones and webber except david brabham

I certainly can't in the period I've been watching F1.

Fantastic, in the dry i didnt expect him to do that :D




Racing Is Life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting
Jesus may be able to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, but he can't do shît for low fps

i kinda expected it tho, but guess hes gonna pit around lap 10 or so



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

i must add, button OUTQUALIFIED jv again.

brilliant. just shows that jv talked outa his arse about jensens abilities

Add to that, that Button was the first guy on the track, whereas JV had a good position from the friday quals.

It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.

button isn't that good
just jv is overatted - any1 could hav won the 97 championship in that williams with a bit of mental nerve about them

JV had an engine problem, though. He claimed that as he came out of the last corner, the car started sounding a bit rough. So perhaps he was down on power. The speed traps would verify that, as would the BAR technicians, I think.

why the hell do ppl always say, oh button outqualified jv, and rubens outqualified michael. it doesnt mean f all, for all we kno they cld be on totally different strategies.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

orpheous, its meant as a bit of fun.

anyway, as morbid said, jv had ample opportunity and should have gone faster than button. but he was too slow.

and that is utter crap about jv saying his engine is down on power.

he is just finding excuses now, for his out bursts about button in the winter.

No, David Richards confirmed that Jacques had a problem in qualifying:

"We marginally underperformed with both cars today, Jenson because he was first on the track and Jacques with a technical problem, possibly an exhaust," he reasoned, "It's all too easy to look back on qualifying and wish you'd pumped out a little more fuel and run lighter, but I'm confident that our strategy is very sound for the race tomorrow."

There was another Aussie F1 driver I believe before Brabham and after Jones. He had 2 races for ... can't remember. Ligier is coming to mind though. I think he is dead now. I'm not quite sure. I could be wrong.

JV had his engined changed for the race because of his problem.

this JV vs JB thing is fun!

each race the fans of either driver get to make different excuses, its like being back at school and having to make up excuses for each day of missed homework hahaha
well im enjoying it, and still think JV is better!

Sorry Trido, I don't think there has been an Australian driver between Jones and Brabham.

(I hope this charts displays properly)
