I have a better punishment. Declare your loyalty to SuperAguri-Honda and defend Ide for the rest of the season, and we'll call it even

Methinks there is nothing Super about Aguri ... And I cant for the life of me defend "Oh no" - he makes Alex Yoong look like Schumacher. Forget about the white paint, I think the Aguri needs to be repainted like a school bus with an "L" board ... friggin slow that it is.

Was a bit of a shambles of a race, but lots of action

Can't believe you ferrari fanboys are still blaming the tyres... look at williams (and toyota this race) - Ferrari are up shit creek without a paddle for the second year running and the tyres have only a slight influence on it... for the second year running

Yeah but toyota and williams both opted for the new softer compound tha bridgestone constructed for cooler condition whereas ferrari didn't schumi was quick midway just impossible to think why he was 5 seconds slower.

Ferrari brought a different compound from the rest, 3 shades too hard from what I herd.

Anyway no one to blame but Ferrari...

They should stablish a new rule against those slow bastards... just like they used to have some years back with the 107% of the pole position laptime

I think the 107% rule should be brought back. Ide and Sato are going to get killed, or kill someone, at Monza this year. and i shudder to think what's going to happen at Monaco :shock:

sameerrao · 04-03-2006, 08:24 PM

The main reason the 107% rule isnt around anymore is that mixed fuel strategies are in play. Another reason more relevant in 2003-2005 was that since each driver was allloted one flying lap, the driving conditions could be very different - E.g. it may be sunny in the beginning of the qualifying but pouring towards the end screwing up the laptimes of those going in last.

Having said that it is still feasible to enforce the 107% rule now with the race directors like Charlie Whiting given discretionary powers to forgive cars that would have definitely qualified but didnt for extraneous reasons.

ZfrkS62 · 04-03-2006, 08:47 PM

Given Ide's consistently HORRID showing, i'd say he doesn't deserve to drive in the races. Get me in there. I can do better

sameerrao · 04-03-2006, 09:12 PM

OK Ide is trash I admit but I feel a little sad for him because:

a) It is a 4 year old car that has been bastardized to suit the '06 rules
b) He hasnt driven any of these tracks before
c) I doubt there was a real pre-season testing time as the SA team was set up in the last minute
d) I doubt the team has experienced engineers to help him cope with the set-up.
e) He is not used to the speed or competitiveness of F1

Sato is primarily surviving on his prior knowledge of tracks and driving F1 cars.

Anyway .. does all this change my opinion of him or the team .. NO WAY

SA should have taken the year off for testing and started racing the next year. This year has been a sheer waste of everyone's time

there 1st mistake was using old Arrows cars in the first place. THat should have thrown up red flags up and down the FIA
