Ralf is in P1, and MS is third, the only person with a chance of dethroning RS is RB, but the track seems to be heating up, so I guess RS is in for his third Pole ! I picked him in PPP too

Addendum : RB messed it up, RS is pole-man 9 drivers left ...

I was hoping for the same type of conditions that occured in the first qualifying session to occur in the second one. I mean it would have been so sweet to see a Minardi in the front. Oh well, Ralf Schumacher and Montoya have been tearing it up ever since Monaco. Schumacher got his 4th career pole and third this season, so good for him.

So, What ideas on the Race ? I think JPM's in for a world of trouble at the start, he's going to be on the dirty side of the track, and MS's going to push ... Wouldn't be surprised if DC got by KR either ... Oh well, 9 hrs more ...

All said'n done, I do wish JPM'd win the race, RS's been getting too much momentum going, needless to say, I'm not an RS fan

Is that because he is a Schumacher.

You seriously caused me to lose sleep over that one nichosnz As I reflected, I realized that RS was pretty much an OK guy, rather wild in his initial years, extremely composed at Williams till JPM got there, JPM's attitude somewhat rocked him, and he did get slightly ruffled, but he honestly hasn't done much to receive widespread loathing. Sure Indy was stupid, but it was stupid-Stupid, hardly calculated Stupid And he has provided some good Entertainment, being the Springboard for JV during Australia 2001, and, eerily, being on the receiving a year later

Summary : RS is loathed for elder brother's actions of yesteryear

All said and done, McLaren are turning into a joke, and those fuel-rigs are a disgrace to the sport

Although I thought the race was pretty good, I was a little disapointed with the T.V. Coverage. Living Where I do, I get the race on Imparja T.V. T.V. guide had it down for a 2:15 AM start (10:45 for the rest of Australia for What I can see), Just after Wimbledon. However what happens if Wimbledon finishes early? the race starts Early. I had the VCR and Alarm Clock programmed for 2:10, and when I woke up we were already 23 laps into the race. I missed a third of the damn race. Not Impressed

It was a pretty good race, its become more interesting with Ralf winning, who's 11 pts down on his brother. Montoya once again finishing behind his partner (besides Monaco he hasn't posed much of a threat to Ralf in the past few races). Mark Webber though, displaying a great effort in his Jaguar by finishing 6th in the second consecutive race and 3 pts so good for him.

Never said I wont give credit where it's due

Hats off to Williams they seemed to have turned

it around nice comeback Ralf,the FW-25 was such

a pig early on I didn't think it would gain so much

it will just make MS 6th WDC that much sweeter

this yr. So much for the MP/4-18 on to next yrs

MP/4-19 Ron must be ready to just pop a vein......

The FW25 has improved massively, I agree, Ron must be gutted.

[pumpdoc 2]

McLaren now says if it don't run this yr so what

instead of MP4-18 call it MP4-19 it's not a waist

of money because it will be run nomatter-------

all I can say is it's a black stain on the McLaren

reputation-------an utter failure and puplic too,

they can't spinn out of this fiasco.........

There is one and only one way to save the embarassment, and that is bad for the sport. That is to dominate completly 2004 the way Ferrari did 2002. Anything short if that is 'egg on the face'.

[pumpdoc 2]

Speaking of bad for the sport with all

of the changes this year ticket sales

and viewership are still down.......so

now who do they blame, can't be

Ferrari ? can it ????

McLaren and Williams will still blame Ferrari, they always do. Particullary Ron Dennis, he appears to have more against Ferrari than anyone else in F1, and not just in a competitive manner either.
