Formula One 2005 season thread

Nobody can honestly say Kimi lost because he didn't drive any good or made too many mistakes.

I'm not saying Alonso doesn't deserve to win. He does, they've done everything right this year. That's how you win. When the driver and team works together. Kimi can't win championships when the engines need to be changed time after time.



Too bad McLaren/Mercedes will never learn. If they would, there would still be a fight for the championship.

Exactly.

I was poiniting out how true your statemente has turned out to be. McLaren really fucked up.

There's no way to really figure out what would've happened hadn't kimi's engine broken 6 times this year. I'm sure we would've gotten a more exciting season, or maybe not (maybe kimi could've won 15 races...).

So yeah, I'm not taking any of the credit away from Kimi. He was the quickest out there, but he didn't have the best package as you mention in your last post.

I just hope next year will be much more exciting than this one (eventhough for us spaniards, this is going to be one of the most amazing achievements in our sports history)

woohoo a point for Jordan 

wonder who who hit who with montoya and pizzonia

[John Daniels]

great race from Kimi and gongratulations for Alonso. Alonso keeps on doing great work race after race. every race and he's on podium, what can I say solid and great job from him. I think F1 has 3 drivers at the moment  that belongs to the A-class; Kimi, M. Schumacher and Alonso.
