pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 You can gloat Antonia yes you can and deservedly so , but now you must admit that Scott speed made an impressive debut in a vastly inferior car also he didn't put a foot wrong in the race................well done to both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 speed was not in an inferior car. That toro rosso is hugely advantaged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silber_pfeil 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 ya..nice showed great racing skills.... and about that advatage SPEED has because of V10...we (or only I) still don't know the real advantage of V10 over V8....ya...I remember myself one move from toro rosso over david on the end straight finish....and then i thought..that V10 has advantage on long straights... and about Williams....they have strong enough Cosworth engine at bay..

pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 If the v-10 is so great then why not fast laps? Because it isn't, Nico show skill and speed(fast lap) and good handling of the Williams and I'm sure if he hadn't had problems he would've finnished higher than Webbo............

cavallino 2 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 bah speed had an awesome car, even the top runners weren't finding it easy getting past, with all that torque. Put those b#####ds down to 12000 rpm, and watch them get a competitive V8 in a day STR are the scum of the grid, carrying out Stoddy's cheating legacy.

ksajoe 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Nico is a revelation! If he did not loose bits of his wing, he might have overtaken Webber on the track. The Cosworth is not too shabby. He set fastest lap twice - so it was no fluke. He is one to watch.The Renault the best package currently - confirming their winter form. Maclaren will overhaul Honda quite quickly and then it's a race between them and Ferrari to knock Renault of the top step. There isn't a single grand prix we will not be on the edge of our seat. Constructors is not going to be easy for Ferrari as Massa is still too inconsitent (what was that about - he could have taken Fernando out and then we would not have heard the last of it on this forum!). Honda do not know if they are coming or going. You feel they do not have the structure to compete at the very top. The have a brilliant Drive JB, a very good car - but it's not really coming together for them. I was actually expecting Button to pip Massa at the start - not Alonso. It's easy to overlook what Kimi did today because we have come to expect it of him, but that was an outstanding job getting to the podium on a car that is by all accounts inferior to a Honda which qualified 3rd anyway. JV was doing rather well until his "rocket launch" moment. So BMW have the record of the first engine to go Boom this season. I suspect a few more failures in Malaysia.

AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Nico had a good performance today. Scott Speed also did good, the best thing he did was finish the race. At least he kept the thing on the pavement and kept it going to the end, V10 or V8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5P33D3V1L 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 I think Christian Klien needs to be mentioned here aswell I thought he did very well and completely over shadowed DC comfortably ! As for Nico he did VERY VERY well if you noticed no one is talking bout Webber even though he finished higher lol . But I believe Klien and Rosberg are stars ! You wait til Klien gets a Newey car and Rosberg is at Mclaren Massa was disappointing though... But that what I thought he would be like anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
