If they could find somebody a little less vain... (this is a tough one: who, in this grid is not, except Montoya?)
Surely thats a joke?
should have known you couldnt read between the lines.
Yeah what are you talking about hudson?
rossi in f1.. onli speculations..
I agree, but not about the rally thing, i think the whole Rossi being only a couple of seconds slower than Schumi stinks of PR though i'd like to see him prove me wrong.
Barrichello? Forget it... somebody hates this guy in Ferrari.
If thats the case then i don't understand why Barrichello would stay at Ferrari, surely if he felt that he never stood a chance of success due to internal politics he'd leave. Is it money? I'd like to hazard a guess he's not living in his overdraft. Is it the expectation that one day he'll achieve success with Ferrari, maybe? What does Michael get out of driving year after year, lots of money that for sure, but then he'd surely earnt enough money 3 years ago to happily live through his retirement. Is it popularity, probably not judging from all the abuse hurled at him throughout the years, he knows he'll never be the crowds favourite. I think he enjoys a challenge, whether that challenge is breaking the record for the largest victory margin or as in the case of this year, turning the team around.

Peace, brothers. Why there are so much people against evil :twisted: and so few support the good? :oops: I do not like Schumacher style and ethics, but I prefer to praise the good drivers than bash drivers that are better than me, and maybe, better than you. So, I bow to Schumi, oh, great one. :lol:

My opinion: there is no car percentage. There is only racing. If you are good, you are going to get your car (and your engineer, always forgotten...) some day. Or do you think Ferrari is going to hire Klein right now? It is a privilege to get a really good car. The car is developed also by the efforts of the driver, whoever he is.

And, yes, I was joking about Montoya, of course. :wink: We, in Colombia, think he believes he is the "mom of God", which I think, helps his racing style. You need a guy with self-confidence if you want him to try to overpass the world champion, in the exterior of a curve in his third race... and succeed.

Thats ok then!!

I'm no massive fan of Michael Schumacher, his talent coupled with the dominance of Ferrari hasn't helped F1 as a spectacle over the last few years. But i can in spite of this see that the man is one of the greatest F1 drivers ever.

I think its to early to start guessing team placements for beyond next year. F1 is in a state of transition and will be for the forseeable future. Who knows what "surprises" Max has in store for us. He might like to remove the driver completely, controlling the cars himself via remote control?

Would be a treat wouldn't it? Unfortunately...yet again quotes have been twisted and false reports circulated. This should settle the debate (crash.net)-

"I think it's important to set the record straight about some comments reported in the Italian media this morning as they seem to have appeared elsewhere now," said Brivio at Le Mans today. "I said that we are going to start working on an extension to Valentino's contract and we will be discussing it after Mugello.

"I was then asked about any plan Valentino might have to drive in Formula One and I said that would be Valentino's decision and it might happen. I certainly did not say that he would be in F1 from 2007," emphasised Davide. "From Yamaha's side we hope that he will still be riding for us, but I cannot predict Valentino's future!"


End of!

rossi quicky came out to kill off any speculations of a move to f1 .. he said he wanted to finish off his career in bikes. I think if he wants to change to f1 he gotta do it sooner than later.. He may have the raw talent but like i said before it is not easy for some drivers to cope with the technical side of it. I think it was the scott dixon that said he was overwhelmed by how much u gotta learn about the set up of the car and there is so much variables in f1

i think that if rossi want's he'll move to F1 easilly, looking at F1 business nowadays he could create a lot of benefits. In racing on formulas he hasn't got any experience so it would be silly giving him a top car but why not driving a redbull or a jordan?

Not if he were to go testing for a year first it wouldn't.

Hmmmmm, I'm curious. Could the "Great" Schumacher ever ride a bike like Rossi ???? Because many believe Rossi could drive an F1 like Shoie.....

I guess time will tell anyway ???

Do you want to see the crash test dummy of F1 crash test a Ferrari. :lol:

They got machines to crash test these days. Fish's days are numbered.

dont think fisicella will ever be in ferrari. I think he has shown that he is a good driver but not a Great driver and he is comming to the end of his career. I think the onli possible italian for ferrari is luizzi but with his recent race performances... i doubt it!!! I think there may be a better chance for a south american in ferrari than a italian. Massa has been earmarked as a possible ferrari driver. Pls correct me if im wrong but i read a while ago that the reason of barrichello came to ferrari was not only by his talent but also that ferrari has a huge market in south america and it was a good move commercially.
