Woohoo, Kimi finished a race!  


/jarmo

yeah..he really did do that!  

[Tj]

Sorry Button, it's going to take a few more podium finishes for me to forgive you for those awful BBC adverts you did  

[John Daniels]

Strong rumours are telling that Ralf Schumacher is going to drive for Toyota in the next season.

[WagMyDog]

What is it gonna take for Kimi to finish a race at the top!??!! I thought this year he'd kick some serious schumi ass!!! What happened to McLaren? Cars blowing up .. falling behind?

[John Daniels]

The "new" car just isn't good enough. It's unreliable and the engine is too weak, runnability is good though. Kimi has said that all the effort is directed for development of the new car..they don't race for the championship anymore.

Why doesn't this guy retire?? What could possibly be his motivation.  Or,he coud take a real challenge and do like Rossi did in the Moto GP: go to an inferior team and try to prove wrong everyone that says that the team is the real race winner

[Ignatius]

Schumi's now won how many titles? 6? I don't know how this guy keeps motivating  himself. Every race this year has followed the same pattern; pole positon for Schumi, victory for schumi...I'm not talking 'bout close victories, such victories have come with 15 second margin over the runner up. Way too easy for him...

He should sign for Minardi next year.

[jarmo]

Finally Kimi got to win a race this season! 

And it wasn't just thanks to overtaking others because of his pit stop strategy, he overtook people on the track!

FORD PULL THE PLUG ON JAGUAR 
Jaguar will disappear from F1 at the end of the year after Ford put the team up for sale.

Ford have also put engine supplier Cosworth on the market, threatening Jordan and Minardi.

[IzzyDutch]

Yeah, I hope (and assume) someone will take over the team... F1 needs more teams/cars

[MadmanDan]

Hell yeah,Jaques is back!!!  Now if he only had a decent car...

[Ignatius]

Hell yeah,Jaques is back!!!? Now if he only had a decent car...

What the hell you are talking about?

Renault is ranked second in Formula 1 this year. That car is just as good as any other car out there - with the execption of Ferrari of course -

Renault is ranked third in Formula 1 this year, the BAR's are a little faster then the Renaults...

[jarmo]

Kimi managed to win a race in his car which isn't a Ferrari, BAR or Renault... 

So don't say Renault is that bad. Sure it's not as good as the red cars but which car is?


Kimi was 2nd in the qualifying for the Chinese GP. Hopefully his car will make it all the way through the race.

WELCOME BACK, RALF!!!? ?

It was nice to see Ralf Schumacher back racing after his accident at Indianapolis in June.? ?

[jarmo]

I don't like Ralf or his brother.....   

Good to see he's ok, but he shouldn't be in F1.

I meant if only the car will perform like it has until now. My fault,I didn't make myself clear
