2004 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola

Predictions?

MS
JPM
JB

I still think JB isnt as good as he should be at protecting his position on the track... i think schumi & jpm will both get past him whether it's strategy or on-track

You're gonna have to expand a little on that, grandpa

The first corner will be very interesting, after that, procession.

1983 US GP at Long beach. Ferrari qualified on the first row (Tambay in front of Arnoux) with Mclaren 22 with Watson and 23rd with Lauda. Then they went on to finish 1-2 (Watson taking the win) and lapping everyone but Arnoux's Ferrari. Fat chance tomorrow

Concurr. If Schumacher gets ahead at the start it will all be over. If he doesn't it will all be over by the first stops.

Jay, I thought you were a student of F1. Surely you'd be aware of one of the the most astounding back of the grid to victory drives ever?

Memories, they are all we modern McLaren fans have to keep ourselves warm these days

Ask your children to bring you a warm water bottle

Thanks Alex, my memories will do for now! Might go and do some work on my M8B!

I'm a fan, not a historian

Sounds like a great drive

No problemo Fanboy!

Truth be told, whilst Wattie was superb, it was more a case of an extremely bad qualifying session. Coupled with a big nights work by the team and some inspired punting by Keke Rosberg - the feat is yet to be equalled!

Reports are that it is raining in Imola (no idea how hard) at the moment and that there will be rain throughout the race. Rains hard = Bridgestone territory, slight drizzle+damp and greasy track = Michelin territory. Hope for the former

[RallyRaider]

I hope it is pouring down too...











...causing Max to slip and have a little accident

[Veyron]

Lol!
