MW what a star.

 

[IceTemple]

Yeah sensational. However he tends to drop in final qualifying. Put him a Willliams & above and he would get close to pole IMO. Easily as good as JPM or RS.

Poor qualifying by Schumacher makes it interesting. Also a poor qualifying display by Webber.

I would love to see Raikkonen win this and go on and to win the championship. Great effort under pressure while Montoya and Schumacher folded

After fridays effort Mark Webber was very disappointing. We can only hope the car is topped up to the very limit on fuel.

 

[noogie_da_sheep]

Its been a long time between drinks for Kimi...here's hoping he gets over the line and goes on to win the Championship...come on kimi add another Finnish driver to the record books.

Michael Schumacher won again. Kimi was 2nd,with Frentzen 3rd.

Webber & Ralf spun off in the wet,Coulthards car died and Montoya came about 5th or 6th ,after taking out Barrichello on lap 3.Montoya got a drive through penalty for it.

The points with one round to go:

M Schumacher 92
K Raikkonen 83
J Montoya 82

I think if Montoya wins & Kimi and Michael fail to get a point, that Michael Schumacher would win the championship on a contback.

Man is MS a brilliant driver or what?! I hate him but respect him as well. This is his year barring something bad happening.

IMO Kimi is not as good as driver as ppl think. He has a great car but is not putting it on the board.

JPM needs to pull his head in and use his obvious skills to win races. From what I have read it sounds like the accident was actually RB fault and he has claimed that.

Webber just can't seem to pull out a decent final qualifying. It has been the same all yr. He also seems to struggle quite a bit in the wet. Is it the car or him?

The michellins struggle something shocking in the wet wet (they don't mind a bit of drizzle), it also doesn't help running slicks in the rain. If he had of come in when Wilson did he would have rejoined just infront of Button and leading the Grand Prix but they pushed their luck to far and he paid the price. The way Wilson struggled I guess it wouldn't have made much difference if he had stayed on.

Here's hoping for a dry Japanese GP, a DNF for Schumi and a Kimi win

 

[GoalsFrom50Out]

Schumacher will win it. Everything will fall his way in Japan, I would put money on it if it weren't Motor Sport.

 

[gPhonque]

I liked Montoya's lap after his drive-through penalty......

Because of the drive-through, he couldn't change tyres even though he desperately needed to, so he was forced to do an extra lap on slicks in the pouring rain.

It was hilarious! It was as though he was driving on ice.

Not something you see very often in F1.

Schumacher is amazing. I don't understand how anybody can hate him. He's the ultimate proffessional, and always has a bit to say as well, and is always interesting to listen to.

His style is aggressive, and from a crowds/supporters point of view, you can't ask for much more in a racing driver.

Michellin need to develop a wet tyre because the Bridgestone is far superior in the wet.
