Schumacher at it again, good stuff!!
i never caught the race, what happened to webber?

[Jabba]

He got a puncture and later spun off.

[Kangaroo Boy]

Well Done Jensen Button...Poor Mark Webber- Hero To Zero Within 23 laps... :(

[stracing]

woohoo another schuey win, don't mind seeing the next 15 race wins :P

[dropot2]

I'm not a McLaren fan but they must improve the reliability of their engines, otherwise Raikkonen will not have any opportunity...

FORZA FERRARI!

They are unstoppable! I hope this lasts for a long time to come :D
Its about time McLaren-Mercedes put their act together, or they won't get anything this year...

The only record left for Schumacher to topple is the 61 pole positions set by Senna. If the season continues like this, he'll topple it this year

[st-anger]

...an interesting technical detail, it´s been schumachers 40th finish in a row without any technical failure :shock:

i´m also very happy for "our" local hero at Jaguar christian klien, 2nd race and again no mistakes, and 11th in melburne and 10th in sepang isn´t that bad either for such a young driver, go christian go.... :D :wink:

Just watched the replay having managed to avoid the result all day really tense to see if button would get his first podium especially when sato's engine gave up!! Formula one back on form very exciting race al in all even if the winner was fairly predictable

[possessed_beaver]

stupid red cars, hahaha thats pretty funny webber 2nd race with no finish, after an amazing qualifying session!

i think he will be leavign jag due to his contract clause.

but the question this season is can MS be stoped!!! OMG!!!
and when will he stop breaking lap records!!!

farrrr out!!!
race was more intresting than melborne!!

[sikx5]

i love the race, that twisty set of corners that goes down hill sort was amazing. Its so freaky watching the cars flying around that sector. Go Ferrari, they put in the work to get the results....Red Blood Monster :mrgreen:

[akumapc]

Damn I think webber should jump ship to BMW, I did feel bad for him having worked soooo hard to get up to 2nd on the grid and then have a shit start - have his tire punctured - get a stop go penalty - and to top it off a nice little spin in the gravel of no return. Perhaps some driver error was to blame. Who would have thought HONDA would start giving out beatdowns as well.. If takuma hadn't spun out I think honda would be in the top 6. Anyway pretty fun race, lots of passing and off track excursions. Juan came within 3 seconds of michael throughout the entire race and it would have been even better to see them battle. So onto Bahrain which should be a very good indicator of driver performance on an undriven/unknown track.

haha yeah that corner looked fierce, with the cars pushing 130 through there on a downhill sloped curve and a few little bumps in the road to make your suspension just bounce a little.. whoa... :shock:

[robruf]

Poor Raikkonen, his second engine failure in a row, I feel bad for him as he is the driver with the most skill out therir right now, if he and Schue ent head to head, he would beat hie, but Shcue has the car and always will. Why did Barichello take the harder compound tires, moron, I would take whatever tires Schue takes. Biggest surprise of the race was Sato, coming from last to eighth, but he would have finished sixth if he hadn't spun and thus putting extra strain on his engine therefore the retirement at the end of the race, however I think that he has impressed alot of people with his driving skill yeeterday. Montoya didn't seem very happy with his result, but his is really moody and a true champion never acts the way he does. Weber what to say about his race but awful, first he got stuck on the line, then Ralf hits his tie and punctures it just after the finish line, so he has to drive the whole lap very slowly alost getting passed by everyone and then on his way out of the pits he gets a speed violation therefore he has to take a stop and go penalty, so he is really frustrated right now and then he lost it in a corner and beached it, too bad for all the aussies out there.

A little bit late this morning huh Jabba ;) .

[jon_s]

Gooooooooooo onnnnnnnnn Button!!! At last he got on the podium!

[5vz-fe]

I think the reliablitly of the Mclaren has never changed ..............recalling 98,99 even tho they won the driver's title, they have poor reliability...and now ..they just have poor reliability LOL

[campank]

Great to see Button get his podium, in addition to a closer gap between P1 and P2, but I'm still afraid of another 2003 repeat.

[cho_888]

havnt had a chance to watch this yet, but i cant wait because from whati hear it was a good race

[ae86_16v]

Yeah mean a 2002 repeat? Because in 2003 the Championship technically went down to the last race and practically to the second to last race. But I think 2003 was definitely one of the more interesting championships in recent memory.

No I was working on getting the full race up ASAP (would have been about five hours earlier as well if I had not got a flat tire today)

[BADMIHAI]

19 R.SCHUMACHER Williams + 29 laps



Talk about driving slow....that's Clarkon style :wink:

What happened to him?

What happened to him?

well, if i remember right, at one point he had to drive off the track cuz his engine set fire :shock:

*though that could've been plenty of other guys, there was lots of engine failure in that race*

Just pulling your chain (joking) since I did type up the initial results ;). Thanks for putting up the race again :) .

[NYCHonda]

Great race. Happy to see Button in the podium. Hopefully Button & Sato will do better & better this season. When I saw Sato's having engine failure & Barrichello's time was faster & faster few laps before the race end, it was quite intense.

[kteo2003]

schumi did it again but this time the williams especially montoya made some interesting times...let just hope that it will be interesting this f1 season...i hope that from the next race ferrari won't be alone...

[xecutioner]

i laughed how montoya blamed barrichello for holding him up when really montoya wasnt even gaining any ground on barri and was 1 to 1 and a half secs behind barri all the time and yet he montoya still blames him

cant he just accept that m.schui just beat him

[MCLARENF1]

my uneducated friends, its been some time after my last post and already i am sunk in a "FERRARI GLORY HUNTING CROWD"! :lol:

[MCLARENF1]

lets not forget the dominence of mclaren in the early 90's and late 80's,it will all end some day!

[beemrmem3]

I think once Williams-BMW gets a little more development in the fw26, Montoya will be able to keep pace with schuey easily. I thought it was a great battle between JPM and MCS eventhough they werent ever wheel to wheel, it still went back and forth. JPM would crank off 3-4 good laps and get close. Then MCS would crank off a few. I think Montoya had the fastest lap. I think they reason montoya didnt seem to happy is because he was probably frustrated that he has to drive so much harder to almost keep up to ferrari. Plus he is so used to winning(CART, Indy500), he probably expects to win.

i completly agree. the indy league is a much more evenly balanced struggle between the drivers. Motoya is used to the agressive driving style, i think montoya i fine jus the way he is wether wot he says is right or wrong. F1 needs a little spark right now! hopfully if mclaren do bring out a competitive car in spain, montoya will have great 2005! but lets not jump da gun, 2004 aint ova yet! loads of races to go. AND LETS NOT RULE OUT KIMI RAIKONNEN!!! he's propably the only man who can give MS and Ferrari a run for there money! GO KIMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jabba]

Thats if he can ever manage to finish a race in 2004. :lol:

[MCLARENF1]

u finally bak then, i bet ur a ferrari fan. look kimi retired from a few races last year but the title still went down 2 da wire so :fist:

[Jabba]

Did I ever go away ?? A Ferrari fan...like you wouldn't believe...and I detest everything about mclaren and especially the two "creatures" that drive for them...

My dream for this season is to see "creature" number one remain on zero points for the whole season...I cant think of anything that would make me laugh as much.

[MCLARENF1]

well my friend its time to WAKE UP! it aint happening. and do u even detest the styling of da new MAC. i dont think u can g that low. "creatures", my friend this iz not lord of the rings, this is reality! and coulthard is showing consistency with a faulty car, kimi has been in very good positions regarding the circumstances- car- before retiring. so, in the famous words of JAY Z "WHAT MORE CAN I SAY"!!! :wink: :mrgreen: :lol:

[Jabba]

well my friend its time to WAKE UP! it aint happening:

How many points is he currently on after the first two races then ?

[MCLARENF1]

who, the future of F1 kimi, or the veteren racer coulthard?!

[Jabba]

There styling is spot on as always.

u know dat. wot do u think of the the new ferrari 612 compared to da SLR

[Jabba]

You said this :

well my friend its time to WAKE UP! it aint happening:

Kimi being on zero points I would say that it is happening....perhaps you need to "WAKE UP"

[SFDMALEX]

All these people talk "Once williams get more development in, they'll knock the shit out of the red ones"

You think Williams are the only ones developing their car? Ferrari are too. The only way someone can stop Ferrari is by either wacking all of their team members or drooping some C4 on the Ferrari factory.

[beemrmem3]

Its not kimi's fault he has no points. I like pretty much all the F1 drivers. I used to be a big montoya fan until that cameraman incident. MSC or DC would never have acted like that. They are class acts.

[chewyanf]

Lets hear it for Webber, driver with that talent taking P2, mid pack runner showing up, Renault is still the team to watch.

[SFDMALEX]

Webber is a great driver. If there is one man out there on the grid that I would not mind racing for Ferrari, it is Webber. He has a good attitude, he got skill, and speakes his mind. He got balls to admit anything, and just overall a good guy for F1.
