Everything in the past is better than today.It's true,I read it on the internet.

Hungary AKA Monaco

What I mean is that there is only one or two spots to overtake and even that is hard to do unless you are kissing the ass of the person in front of you.

WTF you mean this race was exciting Vader?

Silverstone was the most awesome race in YRS. Most of the other races were boring. No passing cept in the pits.

Kinda makes me think of hockey and the game is won in the dressing room.

To me, the new rules have done nothing to excite the races. I've read so many places now that the new qualifing sucks badly. From drivers, commentators, ex drivers, owners etc. They all hate it.

No one goes full out anymore in qualifing. It's boring as hell and the numbers at the track show this. I'm sure if you take a look at all the tracks this year and find out how many ppl attended, you'll notice a drop in sales not an increase.

the rear suspension arms are attached to the gearbox/transmission casing as that is a load bearing structure.

i dont believe the transmission casing and structure failed, i just think it was a similar fatigue crack or malfunctioned join that made it go pop.


Im not disputing this, im just saying ive never seen a rear suspension failure which causes the wheel and shaft to be forced out of its housing with so much force. Usually the suspension collapses, putting the car into a spin, but leaves all the gubbins attached to the car via the links on the arms which are still intact. In this case, the wheel literally exploded out of the car taking the suspension with it.

Williams cars were fastest on track today,Montoya and Ralf had mega middle part of the race, setting blisteringly hot laps!,but still even without webber in the mix,im not sure if raikkonen would have been able to beat alonso,as alonso was prob the 3rd quickest guy out there,and the williams spins ruled them out.
Great drive from alonso got the most out of his car even if he was not the quickest hi lack of mistakes and consistency made it an awesome drive.

However im probably gonna be wrong about this but i predict he wont win another race til 2005 as the next 3 races are power tracks,and renault have a new enginge for next year meaning it will probably be a development year for them,
Still great drive today

Title fight is all down to tyres and reliabilty now
Im going for montoya

I thought it was more to do with clouds and weather fronts. But yes, bridgestone did have a better rain tyre, though we havent seen much of it since god knows when

I suspect a Ferrari victory is on the cards at Suzuka, but I'm not sure about Indianapolis or Monza. Monza should suit the Williams boys, but that Ferrari engine is almost as good now.

Not sure about Indianapolis. Ferrari have gone well there in the past, but that's only because they've had the best car. It'd be great to see JPM win at Indianapolis again, that's for sure!

I agree with at Indianapolis as it's a twisty track that Williams will beat the Ferrari's as they don't seem to have as much speed as the Williams around corners.

Ok, but know, who do u think should had given Alonso a great fight if ti wasn't because of Webber, Kimi, Ralf or JPM?

For me, it was JPM, not because i'm his fan, but 'cause he did the fastest lap of the race and you could see that in the pistops that he passed everybody doing some great laps when there wasn't anybody in front of him, just before his stop.

Powerhorse, I will be more worried about Suzuka and Monza than Indy, you know? Ferrari seems to have more straight speed than the rest (that's an advantage in Monza) and they have lots of testing in Monza as well for tyres, so they sould be strong again. Suzuka is quite similar to Silverstone, and Ferrari won there because the F2003 goes pretty good in fast curves and the FW25 doesn't... I really don't know what to thing

On who? Williams? No. As i said i'm JPM's fan. It would be great if he wins the championship, but you don't know what's going to happen.
