The 2003 French Grand Prix/GP di Francia

[/\/imbus]

Jaguar ran really well i thought, they should do well this sunday. I'll be cheering for them too.

I think Wilson's lap was disqualified, so everyone moves one spot up the grid.

ralf and montoya are on the front row, followed by schumi and kimi.

Yep, not really surprising though. And Ralf is on a roll!!! Seriously, when the car is capable of it and after a good result or two the guy is just brilliant! I never really liked him, but I'm very impressed with his performances since Monaco.

[z33guy]

yes he has impressed me lately. I guess thats what rumours will do to you

[Chain]

wow, that fella is proving his critics wrong including me
Must be Montoya's driving thats rubbing up on him or a few or alot of pointers from brother Schumi.
I hope he can maintain his performance although it may just be a form kind of thing.

Go Williams! Go BMW! Go Montoya.....er go Ralf go!

[ales]

Well, top 7 at least. Note Ralf! Also not Rubens...

M.SCHUMACHER 58
K.RAIKKONEN 51
R.SCHUMACHER 43
JP.MONTOYA 39
F.ALONSO 39
R.BARRICHELLO 37
D.COULTHARD 25

Well Im happy to see that Michael is not only in the top three but ahead of Kimi . Its not good when Kimi's up front, we all remember what happend last time he started out up front (he pulled away from the rest of the pack). And if Michael cant be up front Im glad another Schumacher, Ralf is. Should turn out to be a good race tomorrow morning.

here's my prediction for 2morrows race.

Ralf, JPM and MS collide while they pass first time in Adelaide hairpin. Kimi goes into lead and wins while DC holds of Fernando-boy by testbraking him a couple of times. Also at Adelaide hairpin, Alonso can't avoid him and both go off. It starts to rain and more then half the field spins off. Finally when the spray settles. The French see Panis coming in 2nd and Verstappen 3rd! Barichello does not finish either because of a screwed up pit-stop. Ferrari boys mistakingly put diesel into his car instead of petrol and Rubinho stalls at the end of the pit blocking all other cars for several minutes. All engines are overheating and for the remainder off the pack that means end of race. Except for Kimi, Panis and Verstappen who already pitted and where back on the track when it happened.

1. Kimi
2. Olivier
3. Jos.

Would be really stupid right.

Yeah you're absolutely right, it is not good when Kimi is up front. It is bloody brilliant! May we see it frequently for the rest of the year. I agree with (some of ) Guido's predictions - here's hoping for a first corner squabling sibling synchronised spinout!

Funny qualifying result. If you look closely, except for a few exceptions like Ferrari and Jaguar, all team mates qualified very close to each other.

ANother piece of speculaiton - if McLaren finish one-two, Williams three-four and Ferrari don't score then the constructors championship will be very interesting! Not much chance of a double Ferrari DNF though.

Not at all I could see that happening.

Yes let us see him start up front, pull away from everyone then have his engine blow up .

J/K, it was like watching Michael from one of the races last year, besides the engine letting go. Does anyone know why it blew?

of course not. I was just acting silly, hence the clown smilie

[Michael Schumacher]

And I was being sarcastic .

[cruisey]

Go Jaguar!!!
hopefully we can get some more points this weekend. maybe just maybe we might get two cars in the top 8.
Webber just has to drive like he's been doing and it should all fall into place.

Ferrari needs a new No.2....... and Michelin's!
