Renault seem to be in some trouble

You've been watching F1 long enough to know that practice times ean very little.

I've been following comments on other forums, where people get commentary from BBC, apparently Renault were sounding very worried on the radio. Besides, this is Saturday practice, Saturday is usually a good indicator. Now just keep the damn rain away

Saturday practice is a better indication of speed than Friday practice but it still isnt a good idea to base your predictions solely on Saturday Practice. Ive highlighted the rsults which i think are rather unlikely for qualifying.

Felipe really needs to step up his game. Poor results for the past two races. I know there have been some factors, but those factors don't count ultimately.

Indeed, I want him at least pshing Kimi if not beating him, Kimi has managed to get away with mediocre teammates for far too long.

ykmc - you might be in for a surprise - the Jap teams try to target big upgrades for Japan like Ferrari do it for Monza.

Not only that, recent Renault team performances have become way better than before. Atleast previously us tifosi's could smoke a cigar and say "Fisichella is ****ing useless" but now he's back. Let's see how it goes, he has to get a good qualifying run.

Im giving you the chance to take that back before i personally fly to India and burn down your parents house.

[cavallino 2]

Took me a minute to realise the implication that got you angry there, go ahead we're moving to a new house soon

What did I tell ya

[ykickamoocow 0]

I was expecting this poor performance from Red Bull. Apparently Red Bull have done little to no development on the RB2 for over 4 months as they have been focusing on the RB3 for next year.

[cavallino 2]

Yeah, and they have two crap drivers, which doesn't help either

Hardly. Coulthard was getting decent points early in the season but its hard to get in a slow car and they stop developing it while most of Red Bull's competitors have been developing their 2006 cars are season.

Is pole good enough for you?

haha, I'd put a wager on Massa being lightier. (no im not agreeing to a wager with anyone here )

No doubt he is, but his job was/is to be in front of the Reno's and score points.

Was his job to out qualify Michael, though?

Probably not, but Ferrari will use this to advantage...........

AJ here man. And schumi will not crash. Alonso has worked up his engine so is more likely to get a engine failure

Ps: new sig i see. if you want a 2006 you can have him with the WDC :-) or the monaco incident coz nothing else will happen
