What can I say. Ferrari had the better overall setup and car. The amount of time Williams lost in the final sector was too much. And did you see how much body roll JPMs car had? SUVs dont roll that much.

Anyway looks like we are going to have an interesting race tomorrow.

[Zonda11]

Beauty...Both Ferrari s are back on top!!

I wonder if Schumy can win every race this season?

HHAHAHAHAHA kinda makes you think though doesnt it....if theres one man that could pull it off I wouldnt bet against Michael doing it....

And you forgot certainly the Best Driver :wink:
Mclaren is really disappointed, if they were listened to, there would not need organize a championship because they would win it in advance ... i used to like this team but seing them fighting with the Minardi :?

[Zonda11]

Webber is a ways back.....Hard times

[Toronto]

Alonso is not having a good year, but i believe every race he has finished he as scored points in (for his career) so I suspect him to jump to at least 6th

[robruf]

What about BAR with Sato in 5th and Button in 6th, these two are on the third row, not McLaren, Renault, or Jaguar, but BAR, what a difference a year makes and remember that in Sepang Sato came from last upto 8th, but if he hadn't spun off the track, he might of been 6th, so he is the driver to watch out for this year, and Klein finished ahead of Weber all weekend long as well, so this kid who is only 21 might just be giving Massa and Alonso and run for their money before very long. Don't forget that Raikkonen was second in practice before his run ended preaturely, he will for sure have changed his engine and I predict that he finish on the podium, never underestimate the Finnish presencein F1, just like when Hakkinen destroyed Schumacher back in 1998 and 1999.

McLaren is not going anywhere this season i dont think, kimi's car keep having problems and David, I think he is doing his best but still not getting the position he wanted....they better start doing something soon or there goes their season

[brandonrambo]

Gotta love how Baumgartner is 5.6 seconds a lap slower than Michael!!! Seriously, that's just ridiculous, no other championship in the world can claim that.

1. Both Kimi and McLaren are screwed for this year. Mercedes can't even get an engine to last a practice session, let alone a race. And even so, they have to limit it to 16,000 RPM.

2. Don't underestimate Williams here. In Sepang they were way off in quali, only to set the fastest lap in the race. If JPM can do the same job here, he could be a winner.

3. I can see BAR winning a race this year. They just gotta keep developing the chassis, and for once Honda has got it right with their engine package.

4. Get rid of Baumgartner and let someone with some skills drive that piece of shit Minardi!

Gotta love how Baumgartner is 5.6 seconds a lap slower than Michael!!! Seriously, that's just ridiculous, no other championship in the world can claim that.

Back in the days of group C, the slowest cars were 15sec off the leaders, which were Peugots EVOs. :lol: But in todays case you are right.

As for BAR and Sato.....well BAR is fast this year. But Sato sucks. He makes way to many mistakes, way to many, he is not that fast, and he is not good in race. At least from my observations.

HHAHAHAHAHA kinda makes you think though doesnt it....if theres one man that could pull it off I wouldnt bet against Michael doing it....

if that happens there will be a TOTAL ABSALUTE overhall of the rules.. again

as you can see by the results, the teams that can afford to do the most research on the track, conditions setup's ect. get the best results...

ie: ferrari and BMW

and no grid girls :(

[sameerrao]

Schumi on top again ... WooHooo!

What's up with Ralf ... for a man yet to secure his 2005 drive .. he is driving pretty poorly - JPM is streets ahead...

I am also disappointed in Coulthard - i know the Mclaren has been detuned for reliability but still .... he needs to try low fuel qualying to get himself up there. He is a good overtaker

[stracing]

damn, who actually gets to watch qualifying?
our fuckin tv channel doesn't show shit, except the race which is delayed telecast :x

[yg60m]

Don't forget that Raikkonen was second in practice before his run ended preaturely, he will for sure have changed his engine and I predict that he finish on the podium, never underestimate the Finnish presencein F1, just like when Hakkinen destroyed Schumacher back in 1998 and 1999.

I am sure that he will be on the podium ... until he breaks his engine 5 laps before the end flag :( ... as usually :?

[gis]

should be a good race,especially with the little brake problem of ferrari but no doubt they will overcome it.should be interesting though combining the weather with the cars.

sure hope the channel here get the problems sorted,they cant get picture properly :x

[SPEEDKILLAR]

SCHUMI SCHUMI SCHUMI SCHUMI = Weltmeister

yes it fucks me off alot!!
i believe speedchanel has it, it iant on foxtel, but it's on illigial sattleight TV

[RM05]

Lets hope montoya wins today!

[TT]

Well you know, the GP ended hours ago LOL

[bmwfreak]

Yes, and Williams had a torrid torrid torrid time. Schumi and rubinho ran away with it, BAR had a blinder, with both cars in the top 6, as did Renault.

Didnt compare with the fireworks from McLaren though.

[gis]

thought this was a good race.BAR are becoming quite the team,really looking forward to seeing them the rest of the season.such a shame for mclaren though and raikonnen is having one hell of a shit time,but i think he is expecting it to happen,but mclaren cant be doin much of a good job if they have one engine failure then with a brand new engine with no hard driving on it at all fails a few laps into the race.

i have no idea why but after seeing schumacher this weekend racing on this track for the first time ever and beating the rest of the guys with no trouble of anyone challenging him,made me like his driving more and respect him more.

[initiala4]

Just finished watching the qualifying clip. It seems like a really fun track to be. thks again for sharing those vids....will see what happens in the race clip!

[beemrmem3]

Williiams could have taken the two top qualifying spots, both JPM and RF screwed up in section 3
