Sorry Julian,
As i saw it live,i could say that Webber is to be blame for the accident not that it was his mistake but he didnt have brains.He was clearly faster and could have waited for the start/finish straight..MIssed out on the podium :furious:

Biggest disappointment for me in the race was Montoya,great position but couldnt capitalise. :evil:

Renault is now F2004=super quick
F2004M is now TF104=Big budget slow car

Well, as far as Webber/Fisichella, it is important to remember that these cars wear a person out, not to mention the heat in Malaysia. I'd be lucky to be able to walk after ten laps, much less think everything through in tenths of a second after fourty laps. Race drivers race, and thats just what they did, and Fisi's car lost it a bit and he slid into Webber. End of story, unlike the M-Schumi/Heidfeld shunt, where there was enough time for Schumi, he should have realised that Heidfeld had no chance to have slowed enough to aviod contact.

Barichello was faster than M-Schumi, but you saw Bari's tires, they were GONE. M-Schumi finished.

I predict Renault will finish 1 or 2 overall in the points championships, and Alonso will be WDC. Call it premature, but I think Alonso has refined his driving style to new heights, and that the car will be competitive on any circuit.

I should here point out that my chosen team is Williams, and I feel that Webber and Heidfeld are both scrappy drivers who simultaniuosly plan ahead while remaining loose, and will maximize the Williams team's chances this season, as the car is competitive but not to championship level.

Indeed, last year and the year before he showed signs of brilliance. This year with a quick car, there is no stopping him. I think he will become the youngest ever Champion.
He is ultra confident. He is great to watch, so young yet mature enough.

For me it was Ms.

He was going the pace from Rb but saved his tires at the same time over the race. Rb had to retire because of his bridgestones.

Now that Brigestone has admitted that they are completly at fault i hope it will change next race. at least they said so.

Was their a 'Filter out Michelin shod cars' setting on the screen you watched the race on :shock: :shock:

Or was it only show red cars ? (but then the Toyota's would have shown too).

Oh silly me this must be on Ferrari TV :rolling:

All in the name of fun!

:welcome: Lobson,
