You thinks Michael Will Still Win the World Championship?

Even though Michaels down 18 points and Mclaren is dominating so far, do you think that Michael will still win the World Championship? Remember that the F2003-GA will be rearing its mighty face at the next Grand Prix at Imola.

You're asking us? :confused:

Do you feel the pressure? Is it getting difficult to breathe? Feel like you could choke at any moment? :p

Or is the GA 2 seconds a lap quicker and cruise mode can be adopted for the rest of the season? :eek:

P.S. Alex, check this guys credentials, I don't think he is Michael Schumacher at all, rather Ralf under a pseudonym :D Trying to emulate his big brother again - so very sad.

my money is still on shumi so yes.


BTW how funny would it be if shumacher would actually post:p but the again he has a life not like the rest of us losers with no life and a high post count:D


anyway that guy is probably coulthard being scared of schumacher;) and trying to see what we think

the odds are against them this year. So Mclaren will pip it. The GA is ready to run, did break records, but on resurfaced tarmacs etc. So, it looks good, but...

I think McLaren is approaching the season in a more cleverer way. The 4/18 is due, but only when they need it. so the plan was to get as many points as poissible with the 4/17D and they reckonned that when 4/18 would be ready, Ferrari would be to far of the clinch the title. However, things are turning out differently.

Against all odds was once a movie and Phil Collins did a song about it, so you never know. When Ferrari and Schum will do it this year, them big time, but in the past, those who made a head start kept it till the end, well most of the time anyways ;)

I have same feelings, mclaren are looking strong, and are approaching the season in a clever way. But the last three GPs have been fairly unpredictable with many being unlucky, and some low/midfield drivers putting up strong performances. To quote Ron "It's way premature to start talking about championships".

Well I'll admit that McLaren is doing good so far but if Michael didnt hydroplain off the track he would have won the Brazilian GP.

and if rubens didnt retire, and if coulthard didnt pit till later, and.... and if... and if..... so many ifs and buts.

And if Mary Poppins didn't have an umbrella, she wouldn't have been able to fly......

Does it all matter after the race?

BTW, I thought MS lived in Monte Carlo.....if you have everything else set as MS, you may as well have the right residence ;)

Well I didnt want to totally mislead people into thinkn I was Michael Schumacher ;).
There are a bunch of and if's in Brazil, Im just trying to make my self feel better after seeing him fly off the track :(.

Welcome!

Don't worry, I won't let the McLaren pack get the newbie :D

Forza Ferrari :cool::devil:

But of course, we understand. But you will see that nothing more then F-1 can fire people up, so fasten your seat-belts cause the discussion can go really hot in here...

But it's all friendly meant, so never ever take something personal ;)

That is very true, but if Ferrari keeps on screwing up, McLaren might run away with it......

All is going to depend if 2003GA is going to be reliable out of the box or not.

Oh Michael doesn't remember anymore if and who he beat during racing. I think he was just a passenger there, car controlled from the pits and fell asleep on the way

:lol2:

What's that, a Ferrari parked off the track?

Na... we'd rather see them beat on the track! As long as Kimi, David and Juan are near enough to get a close up view such as this then the pressure will be on the boys in red! Wonder who will (continue) to blink first!

Striped flag? Are you refering to the oil flag? That is the only one with stripes, red and yellow. Can't see the relevance though.

Meaning of the flags.
1. Chequered flag: Signals end of race or of the practice.

2. White flag: Service vehicle on track.

3. Blue flag: (flag immobile) a car is close behind you.

4. Blue flag: (waving flag) a car is about to overtake you.

5. Yellow flag: (flag immobile) overtaking is prohibited, danger.

6. Yellow flag: (waving flag) immediate danger, slow down.

7. Red flag: (by marshals & the clerk of the race) stopping of the race on the line.

8. Green flag: end of danger,free track.

9. Yellow with red stripes: danger slippery surface.

10. Black flag: (with car number) stop on next lap.

11. Black with orange circle: your car is in danger.

12. black & white flag divided: warning to driver he has been reported for unsportsmanlike behaviour. A board with the car number is shown simutaneously.

They should get a pink flag so they can show it to Ralph next time he has a faster car than his brother, but decides to finish second.:frog:

get off my case i was thinking of the nascar blue flag with an orage stripe that means move over a leader is comming behind you.

i wrote the message in a hurry obviously and i made some mistakes.:rolleyes:

That's it, you've got to be very carefull overhere with what you post, cause we'll come after you immediately, escpecially the Mac-boys after the Horses and vice-versa. :D

Ray,

Your flag information, while helpful to some, seems a bit outdated. IIRC there is no such thing as immobile yellow flag.

Hey, at least I wasn't waving a Nascar flag :D

You ask us to get off your case then say you were thinking of a NASCAR flag? :rolleyes: You make it just too easy!!

However, I will refrain from mocking you further... for now :p

Do you think they are trying to appeal more to the American audience?
They could take it back to sheet-metal bodies......and this could explain the tyre rules changing....they are heading for the one tyre rule like Nascar.....:hehehe:

NA$CAR!

darn right sothern boys don't watch nascar only rednecks do:D


BTW i like F1 much better but i live on campus and we don't get it on our cable so I watch what i can.:(

Yeah, it is nice to have Speedvision. :D

Too bad they are showing too much NASCAR since Fox bought it. I follow NASCAR since I am a Mopar fan, but I really prefer F1, GT, and Rally.

What is wrong with NASCAR anyhow? They drive in an oval, they restrict the hell out of the engine, they do everything they can to keep it older tech, and can we say restrictor plates??? Who doesn't like restrictor plates???

End of sarcasm. . . . .

Also, I was born and raised in Utah, and I'm not a hillbilly, southern boy, hick, redneck, or white trash. :p

And to actually address the thread; I am hoping MS will win, since after all, Ferrari is my second favorite manufacture. To be honest though, it is really too close to tell. Too bad he hydroplaned off the track in Brazil, first time in two or three years I think. And as for Kimi, he didn't deserve to win that race. I don't care what the rules are, that was a stupid rule, IMO.

I think the last time he got a DNF was in Hockenheim 2001.

Correct and you still haven't had a mechanical failure since Imola 2001. That is two whole seasons :eek:

Ironic when you think that poor old Rubens gets these mechanical 'failures' at the worst times for him, but he most convenient times for MS......

Yeah poor Rubens, he can never seem to get a break. If I remember correctly hes raced in 11 Brazilian GP and only finshed it once :eek:. Once, and when he did it was only 4th place.
