Meh ha ha

A Quote from Eccelstone:

“Paul’s been a bit of a nuisance since day one, but we have protected him,” Ecclestone told The Sun. “Regretfully, there is now no place in Formula 1 for someone like him. If you can’t sustain running a team then you should get out.

Looking forward for tomorrow too, Webber looks set for a good race.

lol ... Bernie is actually right for once, I can't believe it.

The race - still half of qualifying to go, 24.7 seconds to make up. Hopefully ferrari can come up with a great strategy - well, they usually do anyway. Webber could fall down - still gotta qualify and the fw27 might not be reliable, don't know about tyre wear yet or speed. I know ferrari have been capping their revs throughout qualifying and practice to save their engine - they were fast during practice - god only knows how fast they can go.

If it pours down with rain tomorrow during the race, are they allowed to come in and switch to wets or intermediates? Cause if they stay out on slicks it could be dangerous - ie, look at massa today.

Melbourne will be rather easy on tyres. But Malaysia - they are gonna hope that theres a monsoon like there was in 2001. lol, I can still remember an arrows leading that race. But, people could purposly get a puncture just before they pit - so they can change tyres :p although, no team would be during that :p

Stoddart had the 2005 spec equipment at the back of the minardi garage. He was complaining that him and his mechanics were up til 5am putting the equipment on the car ... and no other team ever has late nights, do they :rolleyes:

Oooh ... I noticed that there was no tradition opening of the season crash from Schumacher this season.

hmm ... I read that according to the FIA, stoddarts minardi's are going to be slower than ever (dunno how thats possible). But that should be a safety concern. They will be lapped more than the usual 7 times during a gp, they should just be black flagged.

But zsolt was just a moving barrier. Who knows what these new minardi driver special talents are :p

Italians 1 & 2 on the grid ... pity I don't think it will end like that.

Webber was the fastest in 2nd qualifying ... I hope that Renault has a solid race, wouldn't it be amazing to see an Indian on the podium? :rolleyes:

Wow ... so early in the race and the Jordans are already struggling majorly. :p A guy that used to go to my school (Ryan Briscoe) got offered to drive for Jordan this season but turned it down to race in the IRL with Chip Ganassi Racing. Smart move if you ask me ... 2 years in IRL will be a good learning curve for Ryan, even though people who have success in it don't always go on to replicate that in F1 - Da Matta being a good example.

Suprise packets are Sauber - I wish Villenerve had a decent ride, after all he is a former F1 World Champ. Must stop posting and get back to the race. I hope Minardi don't come last!

I'm guessing Webbers fav number is 5 because thats the position he always seems to get - and can never do any better! :rolleyes:

Raikkonen was great to come from last to 8th - and how damn impressive were Red Bull? Coulthard was unlucky not to grab 3rd, Klein was solid and it looks like they are a much better team than the more fancies Toyota. Poor old Jordan ... even time I tuned in they were being overlapped.

Well done Fisi ... Forza Italia! :)
