wow McLaren released Montoya already! there was a time when it looked like Montoya was gonna to take over from Schumacher but since then he's been overtaken by Kimi and then Alonso
Nando.
I was a big Montoya supporter before Alonso came around so I was gutted. At NASCAR he comes in and will be an immediate star, not to mention the fact that he will open the entire south american market to that series.

Hockenheim this week. I dont particularly care for that track, don't know if I'll have the drive to wake up at 7 to watch the race live.

I loved to watch Formula's when Häkkinen was there. He and Schumacher showed us some fantastic races within the years. Ah, good times.
Nowadays, I couldn't care less. It was too much for my nerves seeing Kimi race after race stopping because of his engine broke or something, also Alonso gets on my nerves, don't know exactly why, but he just does. biggrin.gif Interesting to see how Alonso next season goes in McLaren tho. Räikkönen has to get out of there.
Also, I think De La Rosa is a better than Montoya, in Formula One. Montoya never settled there, hopefully he'll have a successful time in NASCAR. cheers1.gif

Yeah how hakkinen recovered after he had that big crash in 1995 in think it was in adelaide, australia (where i live!!) was great.

ah shoe maker's won it again.... does he ever get tired of winning? yawn!

kimi raikonnen grabs third spot ( clapping.gif ) and felipe masa (ferrari) 2nd....
Dazza Flezza
Räikkönen grabs his second pole in a row. In his last lap he stole the pole from Massa and starts first tomorrow. It's very hard overtake in Hungaroring so I think Kimi's chances are very good, especially now when Schumi and Alonso are way behind. (muahahahaaa)

I'm planning to watch this race, first one in a while. I'm sure that Räikkönen has to pull out from the race sometime during it tho - as always.

What a race it was on Sunday...so much happened! Great to see Jenson winning his first race biggrin.gif Lets hope he can work from it, and win a few more..

The Alonso-MSC battle near the start of the race was good, though its a shame MSC's car wasnt performing well at all..

Kimi's crash was a classic. So much damage to the car, and it looked good too! Poor driving by Kimi in all fairness though, especially with him doing so well in the race.

Then Alonso and MSC's retirements from the race, both due to their cars knacking up. When Alonso retired, you thought MSC would do all he could to pick up as many points as possible (obviously), with it being the perfect opportunity to close the gap on Alonso in the Drivers Championship. 3 laps remaining when he went out...gutted.

All in all, a very entertaining Hungraian GP!

Toyota F1 cars were here in Helsinki this weekend driving around a bit, in front of 40000 spectators. The noice of a formula car is pretty unique have to say. Way too crowded tho.

Jenson Button, quality!
He could maybe snatch another win this season if things go well, though I'm just glad he finally won a race.

I have a soft spot for Ferrari, just their class and prestige which draws me to them . . . at least Massa got a points finish in the last race. Despite my Ferrari infatuation, I heavily dislike Schumacher now.
Don't get me wrong, he's an excelent driver, probably the best ever.
He has done a great job in the past, but the last two years he is becoming a bit of a twat, and I feel it's about time Ferrari replaced him.
Now, Jenson Button would look impressive in Ferrari red. . .
Donny
Good to see someone other than Alonso Michael or Kimi winning a race. I think Jenson Button win was on the cards and one feels he deserves it. The Hungraian GP had everything and maybe one can say that Button was lucky but he did deserve it. He should build from this victory work more harder and should make himself a regular member in the podium position. Felt bad for Kimi, he could have a race this season but had a unfortunate accident. The gap between Alonso and MSC is quite less now and the remaining 5 races of the season should be good.

If the Turkish Grand Prix is gonna be anything like the Hungraian GP than it should be awesome fun.

People, please help me! Do u know the forum with f-1 videos, like soccerpulse. Please answer to me with personal message.

Turkish GP was quality lads, and we were close to a photofinish between Schumi and Alonso. It's also great to see Massa win, I admire him as a driver, but maybe he got a little bit too emotional about it . . .
F1 just keeps on getting better after years of Ferrari domination, can't wait 'till the Monaco Grand Prix!
El Buitre
I agree. The Turkish GP had one of the best finishes of the year and it was only for 2nd/3rd. When Alonso got a little squirrly on the final turn, I could have sworn that Michael would pass him at the end, but he couldnt move around him for a small distance and that cost him 2nd and gaining 2 pts on Alonso. I still think Alonso is gonna close this one out and take home his final championship with Renault.

what an italian gp..sad to see schumi go crying_new.gif crying_new.gif crying_new.gif ...I was expecting to see him for at least 1 more yr.. doh.gif ..can't wait for the chinese gp...schumi all the waaaay!!!!! eyepopping.gif eyepopping.gif wave1.gif thumbsup.gif
IceInWinger
what an exciting Chinese GP... im not a Schumacher fan but i must say he truly is a great driver... was backing Alonso but i thinkg hat 19 second pitstop did the damage

Schumi and Alonso now equal on championship points! with 2 more GPs left

what happens if it ends in a tie?

for eg. consider the following scenario

next race Schumi finished second with Alonso winning..
last race.. Alonso second and Schumi first..

If they tie on points Schumi would win because he has more race wins.

Alonso's team really let him down. He had that GP won. Fisichella once again showed that he has no business on a big team.
El Buitre
Very good race. I only wish it would have kept raining to keep the track wet. It was obvious that when the track was wet and Alonso was on those Michelin's, he was smoking Schumi. As soon as it dried, Schumi started to reel Alonso, Kimi, and Fisichella I believe. Great driving by Michael, but I think Fernando can pull the championship out in the next 2 races.
Juanito™
An exciting race at Suzuka last night! wow.gif

Amazing how Schumi sustained engine failure at the worst possible time. I mean i was completely shocked. Two or three seconds later the spaniard waves by. laugh.gif Thus allowing Fernando Alonso to take the win.

2 more weeks to the intense final in Brazil! cheers1.gif
Christoval
cant wait to see alonso at mclaren.
then we will see how good a driver he is without an amazing car.

Gonna be a few new drivers with so many people leaving. schumi, villenueve, montoya..

I alos think they should give aguri honda teh ax. that teams a gong show. always getting in the way and almost causing crashes. slow pitstops and a menace to the race itself.
RockinRaul
damn it. his car looked so great the past races. i would have expected anything. but not that, not so early in the race.

i wished so much for he victory. but it is not over yet. schumi proved before that he was still grab it. i remember back then against damon hill in australia. what a race. that drama. i just hope that ferrari do something amazing and renault suck with something. maybe alonsos nerves? he is not such a good driver. kimi is much better. without a doubt.

can´t wait for the big final. such a sad day aswell. one of the greatest ever step back.
El Buitre
Man, I had a bad feeling one or both of the big 2 would not finish and sure enough, Schumi out. I really wanted to see them 1-2 to keep it close. I wish we would have had a really tight showdown for the title, but I am somewhat glad to see Alonso take another world title.
IceInWinger
final race.. a tiny nudge from Schumacher to knock Alonso out of the race perhaps?? i wudnt be surprised.. Shoe maker is ruthless enuff to do that.

anyway thumbsup.gif Alonso drive safe and get a point and welcome to McLaren
Scousy
Well, he's done it twice before. Came off once.
Juanito™
oooh its the BIG big day! (F1 championship and el clasico) cheers1.gif

Unfortunately everything is in Alonso's favor now that Schumi ran into some difficulties during qualifying. I wanted to see a much closer battle. But you never know what may happen.
There's Only One United
Hope schu can get up but is unlikely.
IceInWinger
its all over - Alonso with a podium finish and Schumi doesnt end his career with a bang bigsmile.gif
he was a great driver but probably wont be remembered as a great person.
Peace
Damon Hill said the same, he was rather ferocious in his condemnation of Schumi.

Massa drove a fantastic race though, and even though Schumi went on with a bang, literally, this season was going to be Alonso's, he seemed to want it much more.
RockinRaul
schumi was an amazing driver, true talent and the f1 will miss him soon enough. he is a true champion. and he did end his career with a bang. you do not need to win a grand prix to end THIS career with a bang.

worshippy.gif schumi, a true legends, one of the bests, he will be rememberd as the biggest. maybe not as big as senna, but big

Well, I won't deny his phenominal talent, but to be blunt, he was a wanker. Complete tosser. A nasty, German cheating bastard. Anyway, enough Schumacher bashing, I'm looking forward to next season greatly now, it's gonna be a stunner. I really hope Kimi wins it, he deserves it.

He is the most electric driver left on the circuit, given the right car he would leave all in his wake. The last season has been poor for him, but my god Raikkonen is a talented young man, more so than all of his FI peers. I never get bored wacthing him race.

Don't get me wrong, though drivers like Alonso, Massa and Button are all good, none have the spirit of the race or the risk taking edge Raikkonen posseses, and that is the Raikkonen I want to win F1 07.
Cruel Guard
Raikkonen's ok. I don't really know anything about F1 but I like Trulli, Fischicella, Ralf and I did like Eddy Irvine and Montoya before they went. I like them cause they have cool names biggrin.gif
That's how little I know about F1. tongue.gif
Mengão
Can't wait to see Massa tear it up this year! And they're calling Lewis Hamilton the Robinho of F1, that's kind of funny. But yeah they do have cool names, and Raikkonen sounds like a Japanese fighting move or something like a fire kick... or dragon punch!
arsenal4eva
LOL!

'RAAAAAAAAAAAAIKKONEN'

woot!! new season enxt week!!! COME ON RAIKKONEN! PROVE ALL THE 'MASSA>RAIKKONEN' DOUBTERS WRONG!!!!
There's Only One United
Yeah looking forward to the Mebourne GP. Always great the first one of the season to see how all the changes made in off season have worked.
Nosferatu

Hamilton is the new Pele in F1 world, not Robinho, Robinho is a bust... thumbsup.gif
Varun.
season got off to a great start.I'm completely torn this season for my team's Mc-Mercedez and my driver is kimi.
So all round it was a great weekend with kimi wrapping up the win and McLaren getting the constructors point with the remaining 2 podium places smile.gif


PS: massa is crap.he was, he is, and always will be biggrin.gif
