k3coyotes55 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Talk all about F1 here. Ill start by saying that my favorite driver is Felipe Massa. I am saddned about what happened and I hope he can come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesico Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I guess he's my favourite to right now. More importantly, my favourite team is Ferrari. I also feel sad for Massa, but he seems to be recovering just fine. I'm stoked to see Michael Schumacher returning in his abscence though. Would be awesome to see him win one more time, if he still got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hopefully Massa will be ok but I am looking forward to Schumacher racing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Same, I'm a ferrari man so would love for him to do well, Ferrari though need to get a lot of new parts though for when it starts again to at least give Schumacher a competitive car, what's peoples views about Alonso coming to Ferrari after this season? I don't like Alonso he seems to have a bit of an attitude problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas77 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I am a Massa fan too and he's my favorite driver. Ferrari is my favorite too. I was a Barrichello fan 4 years ago because he was the only brazilian. Massa is much better than Barrichello (A.K.A the second place guy ). I hope he recovers well after that accident. I can't believe a spring from Barrichello's car hit him almost killing him. An advice to all F1 drivers: don't drive behind Barrichello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanction Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I don't like Alonso he seems to have a bit of an attitude problem. The same could be said about Schumacher. lol. I'm just waiting for USF1 next year, then I really have someone I can root for. But right now I have to settle for Vettel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turner_8t8 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 An advice to all F1 drivers: don't drive behind Barrichello. not many people do im really looking forward to schumacher coming back, he was and probably will still be the greatest driver ever, and i have no doubt that he will perform in this car, hell, he helped design it! i do hope massa gets better though. its going to be an interesting season!

Mikaran Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's ongoing at the moment, there's a month break now if I remember right, next grand prix is in 3 weeks? The Official Formula 1 Website Info about it there, results so far etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikaran Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah, he's leading the championship at the moment, the way things are looking though the rest of the field are gunna catch him soon. There going to need to improve their car over these few weeks definately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe many Brazilians will disagree with you there. It'd be hilarious if he finished ahead of Kimi in the standings. Do you know how many races are left? Seven left. He linked you to the site.

platinum Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There is still a lot of points at stake then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikaran Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Definately, Webber and Vetter (The Red Bull lads) are closest to him with Ruebens just a little behind those two. Anything can happen, especially with Vetterl being tipped to be the new Schumacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanction Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) I have the feeling Schumacher coming back will definitely shake things up though. So it's pretty much like starting the season over, I think. EDIT - Except Button will have a 19 point lead this time around. Brawn has fallen off though, in the past few races. A few more races like them though, and they won't win the 'chip. Edited August 5, 2009 by Sanction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinum Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 But Button has got an 18 and a half point lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyweed Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Schumacher's return will be interesting and surreal, he's been out of the cockpit since the end of 2006 and has only tested an F2007 Ferrari recently. It could either be great in Valencia and he'll get a couple of points or it will be carnage in the first corner as he forgets he doesn't have traction control etc anymore! The F2009 is a very different model to the F2006 he last used competitively. I hope he does will and if Kimi does one over to WRC maybe he'll keep the seat for another season! I'm a masssive Mclaren fan, have been since the Hakkinen days. I support a few of the drivers though, Alonso, Kimi, Rosberg and primarily Hamilton. There are a lot of good drivers in F1, but there are only a select few who have the extra ability, they are the one's I like watching the most. It's good to see the big teams pulling their form back. Ferrari and Mclaren fought upto the end of last year and lost a lot of time in R&D for this season. Now they are playing catch up. We can't realistically win anything, and Lewis can't defend his crown (thanks Glock!) but whatevers happens I just jope at the end Button does not win! I was at Silverstone this year and the Button love made me ill! Good to have an F1 section, it's my favourite sport. I will debate all!

Mikaran Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 But Button has got an 18 and a half point lead. Yeah true enough, all that needs to happen though is for him to have problems in two races and Webber wins two and then Button goes second. Worst thing is, it's not even that unlikely.

Sanction Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Did anyone see Top Gear when Schumacher was on? Clarkson asked him "So, do you find it particularly boring when someone just endlessly wins?". HAH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikaran Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Did anyone see Top Gear when Schumacher was on? Clarkson asked him "So, do you find it particularly boring when someone just endlessly wins?". HAH. Haha yeah, I like how on this last episode just gone out on Sunday he said, isn't it weird that when the Top Gear series ends, Schumacher decides to go and race again in F1. I know he isn't the stig, there's no way he could be. I mean when he was racing properly in places like Brazil etc. They would expect him to fly back home on a wednesday and drive? (I think they did the filming on a Wednesday correct me if i'm wrong.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanction Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Plus he drove the FXX nothing like the regular Stig - meaning smoother. I heard Kovalainen was The Stig at one point, but who knows. >.> But I can't wait for the season to pick up again...oh, and Alonso has to sit out for Valencia.

funkyweed Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Yeah I saw that. For me, Schumacher is definitely not the stig, as you say its not really possible, and I doubt Top Gear could afford him on a contract. The Stig is a legend though, I love how Clarkson announces him with lines like: Some say he is illegal in 17 US states, and he blinks horizontally... Brilliant. I believe the Stig has been a lot of different ex-racing drivers. Back to F1 though, who do you think will win the next GP in Valencia? It was Massa last year with Hamilton second. Obviously Massa isn't there so this year I believe it will be Vettel, Webber, Hamilton or Raikkonen in the top four. Brawn a falling fast, I hope Schumi picks up points as well. Shame Renault & Alonso are banned but the loose wheel could've killed someone. Edited August 5, 2009 by funkyweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
