The Jaguar Team / Melbourne GP

[PeakRPM 0]

I just want to give two thumbs up to the Jag Team.

I was on a pit straight walk (not in the lane, just the straight). At 7.00am, the Jaguar Team was there and took the time to take a few people's cameras and take some nice up close shots of the R5.

Bad luck guys..... Hopefully our boy Webber will give you alot more to cheer about this year.

Eddie Jordan, one of the few people to acknowledge the crowd for a wave.

I noticed Valantino was on the grid too, speaking to Ron Dennis, wonder if he'll be driving a McLaren next year ...

It was my first time I ventured out onto the pit straight after the race too.....Now I'm telling youse...you have to do THAT and climb that fence at least once

is there anything to respond to in a discussion??]

I was pleasantly surprised with the improved race pace of webbo, until the gearbox decided to chew itself up.

i think on the same fuel load as ferrari webber could of done a 1:25.4xx

so thats impressive if u ask me.

Webber’s Jaguar looks fairly quick but Klien’s does not. Bar look much better than Jaguar as well.

I agree, as it appeared that webbo was carrying 3 laps more fule than the ferrari and he set his fastest lap just after a pit stop full of fuel, normally the track gets faster during the day as rubber is laid down and he did his fastest on lap 15, encouraging signs but not getting too carried away yet, Williams are still getting to grips with their new chariot and McLaren will improve.

Trulli looked off the pace yesterday in comparison with the flying spaniard too!!

I think Sato hit him at the start. And to all those people that are just going to insist my dislike of Sato is clouding my judgement and that I am wrong, take a look at the replay, I genuinely do feel that Sato hit him. Trulli also said in a post-race interview that he felt that someone at the start had hit him…

I think the video of "Sato's greatest hits" would run for about 16 hours

Whilst sato did hit him it really wasn't his fault....It was atually alonso's fault. Alonso came infront of trulli and hit the brakes which made trulli hamer the brakes which made sato hit the brakes but he still just got him. Hardly his fault.....and i bet this hampered satos downfroce for the race along with his rear wing trouble.

That does not make it Alonso fault. If you are on the motorway and someone kisses your rear, you are not at fault, why on a race track especially at a start near a corner. If you do not want to blame Sato, blame the brakes on his car.

Sato screwed up Trulli's race as he stuffed up his diffuser when he hit him. This effected the car's aero and handling and made Trulli look a lot slower than Alonso. As for Webber, he was driving very very well and looked set for a point at least, whilst Klein did ok, he overtook some cars and kept it on the track, not too bad if u ask me.

neveeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

this can not be happing. Webber will find it hard to beat Button when Button is in a faster car. but he WILL bead Button

on a freeway and u hammer ur brakes all of a sudden then yeah i'd say its ur fault for getting rammed...go do it and try telling the police it was the other guys fault...

[nichosnz 0]

You reakon, he was braking 'for a reason'. So if I hammered the brakes on the motorway 'for a reason' the cops would not find me at fault.

[Sato 0]

but they wouldn't blame the guy behind him either....which is what u saying they would.

[nojvnof1 0]

doesn't the law state that if you are hit up the rear, its not your fault but the person who hit you?? thats what i've been told.

This is formula1! What are the drivers suppose to do? Let the others pass? Trulli did it perfectly as Alonso did. It

Sato hit Trulli – its Sato’s fault as usual – end of story.

[Taku 0]

it was a racing incident - end of story

yeah, i'm inclined to go that way too, however it was Sato who hit JT, but nothing sinister involved, just the usual hectic race start.

Alistar when M$ hit Sato in Japan last year you said it was Sato's fult so that means that in this case then its Trullys fult. but also this is the same to the people who said that it was M$ fult (wich it was) so thar means that its Sato's fult

Obviously it was a racing incident, nothing more and nothing less, End of story.

No I did not Say that Suzuka 2003 was Sato’s fault. I said the blame was mixed – Schumacher should have realised that Sato took an unusual line through the last corner and should have been a little less adventurous but Sato, knowing that MS was fighting for a world championship should have been very careful when he was racing MS for position so as not to hit him. Australia was to me, more clear cut and I have chosen to blame Sato for the incident because it looked to me that Sato just nudged Trulli a little at the start all by himself.
