Anyone watch F1 last night?

Quote from waggie945:

I agree with you 100%.

This was not a LOCK whatsoever for Schumi and the commentators remarked on several occasions that Michael's expression on the grid at P-14 before the race was won of concern and much stress.

As for the article that one of the posters posted about Ferrari displaying corporate cunning in regards to the TIRE WARS, let me just state what the typical BRITISH RACING PRESS article left out....

While racing journalist's such as Nigel Roebuck ( and perhaps Andrew Baker above ) believe that Michelin simply exploited the rules more cleverly than its rivals, the fact of the matter is that they are merely in denial and just plain kidding themselves!

It's highly difficult to believe that anyone ( the British Press ) really believe that the FIA and F1 meant that it was okay for the CONTACT PATCH TO WIDEN NEARLY 3/4's OF AN INCH DURING A RACE.

If Ferrari's response to this is labeled as "corporate cunning" than so be it. However, it just might not be convenient for the British press to call Michelin's ever changing contact patch as what most of us American's would call:

CHEATING!

If they did, they probably would never get another interview from Frank Williams and Williams-BMW ever again!

:eek:

I liked David Hobbs comment that if their tires were legal, then why did Michelin make the mad rush to change the profile before the next race? And notice what happened to the Michelin teams right after? Not quite as fast and were then on a more fair and equal footing with the Bridgestone equipped teams.
 
I meant boring trading afternoon before the closing run.

Awesome posts people. This thread is turning out to be quite good.

Its great there are so many traders that are F1 fans .

I bet the experience described in montreal was so sureal.

That seemed like one hell of a victory party by the pics.

Max, That pictures going to to be my new wallpaper.

I only have one thing else to say "Magic Tires"

:D

Boring afternoon? If Barrichello spun, wrecked or had a mechanical failure and Schumi failed to keep brother Ralph behind him for the crucial 8th place, Kimi would have been the WC; a record in itself, he would have been the youngest WC at 23.

To my knowledge, Formula 1 has always been open cockpit construction.
