Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2006 Over the years I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go. I've seen Jacques fly and then fall. I've seen Mika conquer Michael yet still be five championships behind him in the record books. I'm a respecter of talent and speed and I judge each driver by my experience. I judge Fernando as one of the best. A few off-races don't take away from his skill, speed and past achievments. My fellow old-timers should know that The greats had off-races too--it matters very little when taken as a whole. But there's something that Bruce (pumpdoc) said that rings true and can't be avoided. All the greats had at least one drive up through the field. I can't recall Fernando doing that yet. Perhaps that's to Alonso's credit as it means he's always good. There's no mistake in qualifying that puts him in 14th at the race's start. Perhaps it means he can't haul his car up when he's not qualifying high (due to his car). I'm not sure which it is yet. Until I'm sure, I'll support the Almighty-Eyebrows because to me, he's demonstrated his worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QWERTY 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2006 They probably cryin under their blanket. So where are all Fernando's fans? Ecap, Kiko etc? don't tell me you are all crying in your blankies now are you? The beauty of sport is being able to rubb it against the other fans face when your team wins FA fans were being too annyong and now puff gone When Shumi wins theh WDC this yr they probably go back watch soccer. FA has no skills just a good car, No mass damper in hokkenhain and look what happened. Give him a Mc next yr he probabley be our next JPM heading to NASCAR now he wouldn't expect KR to help him win the championship if KR decides to stay.

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted July 30, 2006 Agreed. The Spaniard will be back. (Although MS is clearly the best driver of the last decade. I think he was largely conquered at times due to his car.) Welcome QWERTY. I genuinely welcome all comers (even those who equate the pie-eating sumo-wrestler/driver with Alonso ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2006 Agreed. The Spaniard will be back. (Although MS is clearly the best driver of the last decade. I think he was largely conquered at times due to his car.) I agree with you. Michael is far and away the best on the grid. Nobody could argue that. I rate Jacques highly, but in equal machinery, I doubt Jacques could defeat Michael. Kimi and perhaps a few other drivers could match Michael's speed, but not the whole package. Any other driver would have settled for second place in the championship this season, but not the maestro. He just buckled down and worked hard and is now in the title race again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karta 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Sato had fans here? Oh...nevermind, i got it (i hope) Speaking of him, he doing quite well now that he no longer is under pressure. Last year Bar i think pressure got him escalated from having really bad car (and 2 race skip did not help either) especially when JB was beating him constantly.

Any other driver would have settled for second place in the championship this season, but not the maestro. He just buckled down and worked hard and is now in the title race again. one of the reasons MS is such a good driver in my point of veiw is his ability to adapt. he started in the time of mechanical grip with some aero grip and was able to win, then as the transition went to almost only aero grip he was able to ajust and still be at the top. while i too see JV as a good driver, it is clear to see that he favors mechanical grip and did not adapt. as for Ferrari fans supporting KR, Ferrari fans have always supported the Finns that race for MERc because they nare the ones that truely give michael the biggest run for his money. Mika was a good driver who challenged MS, MS himself even said Mika was the driver who he had the most respect for as a rival. and Kimi is no different. he was michaels rival in 03 and if merc would give him equpment reliable enough and fast enough for his tallent we would deffinatly see him close to MS now not some unibrow who had the luck to win a drive on the energizer bunny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But remember FERRARI fans support mainly ferrari even more then their driver, we will support our driver, and most of ferrari fans would not MS if he races for somebody else, we support KIMI because may in 2007 or 2008 is a Ferrari driver .

Alonso had a fight through the field in both Australia and Suzuka, though that was solely down to quali and the fact slow cars were up front and quick cars out back! Button i believe has had more convincing fights through the field, Hockenheim 2004 and I also think there were a few others but cant remember them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishfemalefan 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Obviously i'm a MS fan first and foremost - but if he was out of the picture this year & it was down to KR & FA unlike most of Ferrari fans (apparently!) i'd rather support FA. I know Kimi is a first class driver too but i just cant take the man - really dont know if i can see this changing if he comes to Ferrari - and yep i know most of you think he is FA is losing his rag & an arrogant wee tube - but hey remember he only turned 25 yesterday, after last year he has huge expectation on his shoulders & maybe now hes finally caught on that hes made a BIG mistake signing for McLaren next year - for his own sake he should concentrate more on racing & less on barging about other drivers & giving them hand gestures - if he doesnt it will take away for many what he is - an extremely talented, young deserving WDC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the hand gestures and such...c'mon, these guys are racers, not ambassadors! Why does everyone have to conform to one 'correct' behavior?
