if you actually watched the race, there was one view of the incident that spoke volumes about sato's judgment, a view from the top (sky cam); rubens was at apex in the corner, when sato tried to squeeze into about 5 cm of inside line to pass him ... good move, if you are looking to knock off your opponent, and damage your car in the process, a bad one if you are trying to be fair and looking to continue racing to get other chances later to pass him

btw; i get up early to watch this stuff live from the pacific coast in the states, so your assumptions about my 'actually' watching the race aren't appreciated. =\

yeah i know the view you're talking about... i saw it... and i know what you're saying since he wasn't even close enough to rubens to try a move. I just didn't see any lockup from Sato so I figured rubens brake checked or just braked too early. Either way, it was a bad move for Sato since, as Rubino admits, he was faster than the ferrari. (he should have waited for a more appropriate time to pass) I guess I just wanted Sato to finish a race really badly. =\

I think Sato is fast and he's got a good car, after all is the same car Button drives. But I think he doesn't know when to tale his foot off of the acelerator. In the European GP he almost took Barrichelo out of the race. He was irresponsible!!!!
But I think he's still a good driver!!!!

i like Sato way better then Button cause Button is overhyped, Fisi would kill him in that same car she like he did to him in 01 and jus like he did to Ralfy in 97 and like he did and does to everyone of his teammates, Sato i like cause he is a harsh fighter and exciting to watch like a Montoya type driver can be really ragged sometimes we need guys like that in F1

Agree. Just about the most exciting thing that happened all race was taku ramming rubens

Oh, and button overtaking DC...

Theres no doubt about it, Sato is young and fast! (young gun as they say)

His got alot of ammo in his gun.. i'm more curious about Rubens though. He is a totally different story to Shuey. Journalist reckon that his at his peak, yet, it doesn't look so. Great car, great team, but what happened to Rubeno!

i think you are a little esagerating with fisi...donnot underestimate the sauber has the chasis if ferrari 2003ga and the engine and gearbox of todays ferrari....oh and by the way he made a 2 pit stop tactic such as barrichello

diegord · 06-01-2004, 12:30 PM

Barrichello has the best car ever built in F1, but we cannot forget he's got the flying German as his team mate. Shumi has the same car but is a way greater driver than BArrichello...so that's the story for this season....Shumacher first, BArrichello in second..... But I think there are better drivers in the championship... for instance, if Button or Alonso or even Montoya were in a Ferrari, they could threat Schumacher kingdom....

i a little bit disagree with you....for another time guess what the team chose for schumacher a three pit stop tactic (especially at the first part had little fuel 7th round in pit stop)so as to let scumacher after the first pit stop to be exactly affter the train of renault mclaren and not somewhere between the jordan's or the jaquar's(what happened for example with trulli when he made a pit stop at round 9)...this tactic was brilliant instead for barichello they chose a 2 pit stop tactic.......
the same as coulthard and fisichella......

ahahah the sauber isnt the F2003-GA chassis, that was clarrified like many months ago, maybe you just dont follow F1 enough, and the gearbox is last years, while the engine is this years but im pretty sure they dont get the improvements and updates to there engine from Ferrari

I agree with you... he wants us to believe the reason the Ferraris are always on the first role and the Saubers are always on the last one, is only the the drivers skills....give me a break!!!!
The modifications on the category are coming to make the reces more equally balanced, like a smaller and cheaper engine, the removal of traction control and the adoption of a manual gear box.... the drivers will have to show more work than!!!!

dons5 · 06-03-2004, 05:47 AM

ya that will be so awesome man, goin smaller engine size is fine but i dont like the thing about going to have to use 8's we'll lose the scream of the 10's and i just noticed soemthing what iftoday we had 12's instead of 10's holy theyll be screaming even more!!!

Agree w/you 100%! Lack of experience plus hot blooded equals big trouble. I just do note have any respect for "dirty racing". He tried to take out Ruben in this race, passed in the tunnel in Monaco.... down right stupid. JMO.

so i just saw taku spin in the last corner of qually... and uh... i really like this guy. hahaha

i hope he can learn to control himself.
