F1 Manager 2004 Season

Hmmm don't know wether to do a full reinstall or not

Just to keep this topic a bit up... How's it going Chris?

Well i return to base tomorrow morning. Still ain't got my monitor there yet, so i will give it a try with the TV but running in lower resolution. Hopefully we'll get broadband supplier sorted next week (who knows when they will turn up to fit it though, so dongle will have to do untill then), monitor should hopefully be with me in 1-2 weeks at the most if i cant get the TV to work tomorrow. Fingers crossed it will work!

good luck mate

Take it on easy, I'd rather wait a little more until you've sorted everything out nicely then when you would rush everything to get going as fast as possible

If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

ROUND 13 - HUNGARIAN GP - RACE


Hello and welcome to Hungary for round 13 of this years F1 season. The two main title contenders start on the front row for todays race, which surely sets us up for a cracking race. THat wont be the only battle going on as the rest of the grid will be fighting it out. Let's join the drivers to see what the race has in store...

70/70 Raikkonen leads M Schumacher after the first few corners


69/70 Carnage midway through the lap as Raikkonen goes off wide, as he rejoins he's collected by his team mate Coulthard, ending both of their races. That's a massive blow for McLaren and a disaster as M Schumacher now leads the race. Webber also get's caught up in the incident and will have to pit to get a new front wing. Alonso also goes off on this lap sending him down to 6th from 3rd





63/70 Pizzonia crashes out of 11th after suffering a puncture mid corner. Further back Verstappen spins sending him from 15th to 18th



61/70 Zonta's Toyota is having electrical problems as he retires from 12th


60/70 A look at the top 8 after 10 laps


57/70 Frentzen makes a mistake in 11th. He's now 13th


51/70 It's another team incident, this time with Arrows, Yoong goes wide, he quickly gets back on track but clips his team mate Salo, Salo's car reacts violantly and is flipped into the air, as he lands his car breaks up ending his race. Yoong seems fine to continue. More bad news for Webber as he spins on the debri. Jaguar are having a day to forget. Enough of that as up front the leader is in trouble! Michael Schumacher has smoke pouring from the back of his car. Looks like he has an oil leak which will surely end his race. And it does as he pulls out of the lead, handing it to Montoya.






47/70 Pit stops begin. Button is in first, slightly earlier then the rest as he has an electrical problem which needs sorting


35/70 A look at the top 8 after those stops


28/70 Trulli runs off wide, losing 2nd to R Schumacher and 3rd to Barrichello


24/70 2nd stops begin for drivers

22/70 More bad news for Trulli as he pulls out of 4th with also an oil leak. Button is back out of the pits but seems to be getting held up by Frentzen who is yet to pit


13/70 A look at the top 8 as Button drops out But Sato has moved up


0/70 The race remains quiet for the remaining laps and Montoya crosses the line followed by R Schumacher to give Williams a 1-2 finish! Superb weekend for them

LATEST NEWS


Button under pressure from Sato

Jenson Button has went from being the only point scorer in the BAR team, to now behind his team mate who has raced far less races then himself. Sato has been on fire since replacing Villeneuve in what has been a succesful move by team manager Kenney. Kenney also reacted quickest at spotting the talent by signing Sato up for next season to partner Ralf Schumacher who will be joining from Williams. The focus is on Button now as he aims to out score Sato before he leaves the team at the end of the season

Wirdheim joins McLaren

McLaren announced today that Bjorn Wirdheim will test for the team next season. The move comes a surprise as the 23 year old will replace Alexander Wurz next season despite not having any F1 experience. Rumours have it that McLaren could be strapped for cash and looking at younger and cheaper drivers as Wirdheim signed his £2m contract for 2004

Salo angry at Yoong

Mika Salo launched an attack on Alex Yoong moments after todays race. The two team mates were caught argueing in the paddock before being seperated by a team member. It was all because of the race incident which saw Mika Salo flip his car after Yoong pulled back on to the track infront of him. It was a carbon copy of the same mistake that McLaren driver Kimi Raikkonen had made ending both his and his team mates race. It was a massive blow for McLaren's title contention, but their's unrest in the Arrows camp as we head into the last three races of the season
