Massa isn't trying to squeeze in the seat, he already has it.

Fact of the matter is, even at Sauber, Massa was still contracted to Ferrari.

Rubens have been talking to BAR since Monaco where he blew up at Schumi for racing him.

Now it remains to be seen how Buttongate part deux plays out. If the court rules that Button COULD stay at BAR, then say byebye to Taku.

I just wish Honda would sack Taku regardless and bump Ant up to the seat proper. The kid's paid enough dues.

Massa's already with Ferrari? Things change fast it seems.

I hope the BAR roster stays the same for 2006 but that is very unlikely to happen with all the crap taking place this year.

His contract belongs to Ferrari.

He'll be the driver partnering MS in 06.

wow, news to me. Rooting for Schummacher still but it looks like Alonso will be #1 and 2nd place will be pretty close depending on how Raikonnen and Schummacher does in the following races.

Well, Kimi won Istanbul, him and Montoya almost had a 1-2 finish, but Montoya drove off course and Alonso overtook him. Schumacher DNF!

GO KIMI. man Kimi's MP4-20 is in a class all by itself. just look at the pace of that Mclaren compared to Alonso's R25.
Though what I found most intersting was Button's left foot braking.
During one segment. Alonso used no left-foot braking what so ever, Button was using left-foot braking all the way. I believe he still needs to develop it though as clearly he was slower than Alonso.
Montya is gonna get scolded for that mistake for sure.
Ive been watching F1 for some time now. This has to be the best season since the Shumy VS Villiunve season.

Wasn't montoya's mistake. Monteiro punted him and he had no rear diffuser. Add to the fact that he's been struggling through the left handers for about a quarter of the race and it's a no brainer he's gonna struggle through turn 8. (Damn that corner reminds me of Pouhon in Spa.)

Interesting to see Trulli struggling w/ fitness issue. Those with ITV feeds won't see it since it wasn't shown, but onboard of him after 3/4 of the race and he had to lean his head against the side on both left AND right handers just to alleviate some of the loads on his neck.

On a separate note, I think this is the first track from Hermann Tilke that I can say I somewhat LIKE. (at least i'm not feeling repulsive by it)

Good mix of high speed corners, long straights and slow corners makes it flow better than the drag race circuits of Sepang and Shanghai.

Think he realised that some of the classic corners around the world are classics for a reason and you can see a few hint of that in this Turkish circuit.

I dont really consider china to be a bad circuit........ The first corner is such a hard one and the backstraight is one straight where you compare straight line diffrences of cars. Like the biggest straight in the turkey track....

Damn, Japan made me stay up till 2:40AM even though I wanted to sleep properly for today. laugh.gif

[SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE RACE YET!!!]




There was so much going on all the time. There were no dead moments during the race. Some interesting moments/things were:

- Montoya going out at the beginning of the race. Woops...

- Takuma Sato plowing through Trulli's car. lol I don't know what the hell Sato was thinking.

- Kimi passing Fisichella on the last lap!

- Webber's performance.

- The best drivers starting from the last positions (next to the Jordans and Minardis heh) and ending up in front.

Doesn't really matter to me. I've stopped caring about teams and drivers since 94 and 97.

I think Renault deserves to have the constructor's title since they do have the more reliable car of the two. This is what the title should be about, the best TEAM that wins.

Best team in my books would be one who could engineer a car that is quick AND reliable at the same time; rather than one whose consistency is quite dodgy. Yes, the Mc's are VERY fast; but I'm not impressed with their engine grenades.

LOL! haha oWned!

the last lap reminded me of the takumi vs ryoskue battle. "INSIDE?! OR OUTSIDE??!" and its because it was pretty much the last place he could pass in the rest of the race.

What happened this time? I doubt I'll watch this GP so I just wanted to know what attack he made this time.

EDIT: What's up with the Honda cars? They already changed all the team gear and car art to Honda Racing?
