Also consider that it is a long way till the end of the season. While Alonso is a favourite for the WDC at the moment, it's not in the bag yet. MS needs points over all the other drivers, not just Alonso.

yeah, but... Irv also said MS would do it (overtake) some years ego...what do u think?

1 think was for me clear after that... MShumierda saying that he had nothing to lose ans Alonso had and

was (is) a lot of

But the time to really risk will come... i hope!!

I think MS was just trying to psyche the other drivers a bit. The only time a driver has nothing to lose is when he can no longer win the WDC or the WCC.
Personally I think that Alonso covered his line too well, an MS could not overtake. I also think that Irvine is talking about someone who totally eclipses him in skill.

The muppets would take offence to having Eddy descrbed as one of them

One flaw in your logic is what if Michael tried and ended up in the gravel and Alonso wasn't out and won. That would be -10

Very possible, we've seen Michael lose out in the past

Anyway The Cute out psyched him all weekend in Imola

Michael will continue to struggle. With the kind of results he's got so far, there is less and less confidence in pushing as he won't know what the next problem will be!

I think you will that Ferrari will come back. They may not win the WDC, but they come back.

I agree RAH. Many many threads ago, I said the same and was laughed off the thread by some of the non-tifosi, I stiil believe that they have too many skilled people, and too many resources not to. One things for sure, they will get maximum help from Signor Moseley

Yes they came back in Imola then they went away

They'll come back at cold and/or wet tracks. On sunny days they have no chance

I agree with you Graham,Ferrari will dominate if the track temp is 19-20,but bridgestone would melt in heat

Wets yes they would runaway,but how many races do we have in wets anyways,max 2??

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Thu May 12, 2005 4:50 pm

I will bet 10, yes 10 roubles, that ferrari win a race this season, with the track temp above 25, in the dry,....unless schuey retires at Monac, along with JV

If you're betting on Schumi to win Monaco,dude surely ur losing that money

Schumi wont start in top 6,wont be able to overtake,strategy will be ruined by slower cars in front...N yes Montoya wont let him come outta the tunnel

Nurburgring mayb

No, it was not Monaco I had in mind

Monaco could be the race where a surprise winner gets up, but I don't think it will be schuey

. What I said had no specific race in mind

It was take a great miraculous effort for bridgestone to turn things around.
