No team orders this year, so Schumey won't have it all his own way :clap:

This year is Davids year, lol I say that every year :D

[Anonymous]

i follow the F1 but i dislike their new rules :p

with these new rules it might be interesting

[Zafiras]

dont mind the ole F1... but liked it more in the days of Prost, Senna and Mansell...

as for now i dont care who wins as long as it aint Schumacher - do like Couthard to but wouldnt mind seeing Webber get in to some decent points evan if he could finish 5-6 at the end of the season would be sweet.

i dont think Schumacher deserved some of his wins last season due to being protected by his other driver... Ferrari should have been disqualified from racing due to race fixing IMO.

[Zafiras]

schumey's car's falling apart.... only one in the top 9 to make 3 pitstops, but yet is screaming up to coulthard.

only a few laps to go hopefully coulthard can hold on


edit - woooooooooooooooooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttt ttttttt

COULTHARD WINS

SCHUMEY 4th :D:D:D:D:D:p

but hold onto your hats guys... coulthard has been told by his team to pick up debris... his car may be under the 600kg weight meaning he could still be disqualified

[Gee Gee]

Well done DC a good solid win :clap::clap: :D
5:10am I can go to bed happy :sleep:

[evangelion4]

ahah someone had to wreck it for schumacher

[Zafiras]

yeah and this time it was his own car... if that flap had of stayed attatched properly he would have won... instead had to make the third pitstop

[Gee Gee]

The sweetest sight ever :D
next stop Malaysia

[WorlWydeHusla]

btw it said that this is the FIRST time since 1999 MONZA that a ferrari wasnt on the podium

anyway...pretty good run for villenuve but did u see his TEAM IT STOP? button was behidn jackes and they BOTh went in...lol the guy on TV was like can i get a ticket lol

AND RETARDS did 3 pit stops...3!!! villenuve woulda been top 5 BUT NO BAR was the ONLY team with an intentional 3 pit stop...shumey went in cause his car was fallin apart

anyway is there a bit of conspiracy to why kimmi went in for a penalty???with shumay behind him??? anyway im glad to see ANYONE win cept shumey...and see teh move kimmi did on shumey that put him in teh grass a bit...good job kimmi u show NO respect to that guy

btw the race finished at 11:45 here lol

[Zafiras]

Couthard said pre-race that he thought himself a chance at winning this race... i thought he was pumping up the crowd or an ego boost. seeing schumacher out so far n all... but hats off to Coulthard, obviously he knew he had something over the field

[Loonytune15]

Finally it looks like McLaren are back in business.

aint it great when you can watch it live at 1pm local time :D

btw I love those new rule changes, did you see in those first few laps how many positional changes there were???

It was great.

Still Go the V8s :)

[russe||]

I think Coultard got a bit lucky as his team mate had a better race than him but got a drive thru penalty for speeding in the pits and then Montoya made a mistake and Schumacher had problems. So everythink worked out for DC in the end

However Schumacher wasn't unlucky because he would of had to stop anyway (thats why they put fuel in his car when he did stop).

The McLarens did well in last seasons car?!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zafiras]

racing is all about luck and fortune i guess... but who cares if that statement is right or wrong... Coulthard still beat Schummey :p:p:p

[Loonytune15]

I dont care who wins as long as it aint a ferrari :p

I think Webber was having a great race until he broke down with mechanical problems..... a broken right rear suspension I think.

might be an interesting yr methinks

[Zafiras]

give him the right car and he wont disapoint

[midnight]

DC is such a whinger. Go Kimi go.

[Revelation]

midnight: Do NOT :spam: the forums with such nonsense.

Thanks!
