/\/\ Exactly what I was saying! Kubica is very competitive and so is the BMW F1 car! :D

/\/\ True, not gonna deny that..

But Williams proved to be quite fast at recent tests and last years retirements were mostly due to the engine...

Massa broke the track record @ bahrain, pretty impressive how he is performing... and kimi has been constantly ahead of Alstronzo... Forza Ferrari !!

^^ Nice to hear that Massa can show what he's worth!

Forza Ferrari indeed! :D

he almost broke the track record

the new suspension seems to be working then i guess ... lets see how it reacts to collisions .. 8)

Wow, I guess Massa isn't playing second string to anybody.

Can't wait to see the results of the first qualifying session :drool:

But I have to say that I am disappointed by Kimi's times compared to Massa :? Wait and see ...

^^ when it comes to overtaking and wet tracks ... massa is no where near the top drivers ..... but cant be sure about anything right now .. he is doing good

what's next, turn signals... :roll:

frucking gay bull crap ...

:D ... this can be really good fun ... if i were driving one of those cars ... i'd always have a little pressure on the brake paddle :D .... :mrgreen:

Thats stupid! The fun part was that the other drivers didn't see where they were breaking, this can ruin overtaking actions.. :roll:

^ Good points. Working with the engineers and other team members is definitely a requirement. Schumi looks like he was much more of a nature leader as well. He would just take charge and take control. . .

We will see, at least Massa's times are up there.

With the Indianapolis Motor Speedway believed to be closer than ever to adding a fourth event to its annual calendar, the controversial Turn 13 on the road course (Turn 1 on the oval) would be ill-suited for the MotoGP bikes, as the riders would exit the bend at high speed towards the front straight’s outside wall.

Switching the F1 course to counter-clockwise would not only end the risk of a repeat of the 2005 tire fiasco – when Michelin-shod cars couldn’t stand the loads going through the bend – but also put all four IMS events running on the same orientation: the IndyCar Series’ Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Allstate 400 at the Brickyard on the oval, and the USGP and MotoGP race on the road course.

The switch, however, isn’t expected to happen before 2008 at the earliest, when the rumored bike event at IMS is expected to take place.

^^ The only thing I don't understand is that they say by driving the other way there can't be a repeat of the tire fiasco, why not? I mean same pressure right just on a different side.. :bah:
