Thiessen worries over street safety

I AGREE!!! Street circuit attract popularity because the lack of it. More street circuit means it's getting more and more diluted. And like hell I want another track that does not warrant overtaking

It's not suprising really. Lewis is that good, and we knew this before the season even started yet. and like I said, both Lewis and Massa knows the car better than Kimi or Fernando does. Heck, even before the season started all teh pundits are saying this is Massa's year, because it's hard to win a world championship during your first year after moving to another team. But it seems that Fernando fared better at Macca than Kimi does at Ferrari, but IMO that's because of the nature of the drivers. Kimi just want to drive the car without caring what it is. Fernando wants to know what he's driving, which leads him to be slower than he should be

To finish first, first you have to finish. F1 had been made based on that principle IMO. And remember, the "OLD" system was once 9-6-4-3-2-1, 10 points was only introduced recently before the 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 system.

Well, the best WC scoring method IMO was in the late 80's where the winner was based on the best head to head record, and not on points. In 1988, Senna won because he has a higher number of wins even tho Prost has more points

No, the cars are definately MUCH more slower. And the V6 + the 10,000RPM limit will slow that to a point where even US CART and INDY series will be faster. C'mon man, use your brain. 19,000rpm vs 10,000 rpm. Which will give out more power on low end torque? And the 10,000 will be hitting the redline midway down the straight!
No way jose.

And about Max and Bernie, they really need to get out, fast. Get out before fans alienate this series.

The thing is, i don't want slower or greener car. F1 are the pinnacle of motorsport, and they need to stay at that. Heck, if they wanted to have a series that attracts the small teams, abolish the concorde agreement. That what killed small teams like Minardi, Tyrell, Ligier, Larousse and Brabham in the first place.

Because he retired from the Spanish GP with an "electrical failure". the reason I put "electrical" is that no matter what the cause of a car failure, mostly the engine, it will either be "electrical" or "Hydraulics". I forgot where, but I've read a site where they compiled F1 car failures from the late 80's till the latest season, and also the reason of retirement. and from that, only 1% was due to "engine failure". "Hydraulics" was top with 35% while "electric" was second with 30%.

He never lost at Monaco in every category he raced there.

at least at a track like sepang there are room. What will happen at Albert Park or Singapore where it's tight?

O'rly? Who won there last season may I ask? Massa is already at Ferrari at the time remember. oh wait, he already drove for the sauber team, but I never saw Sauber won at Monaco when Massa drove for them.

that is one of the most expensive place in the world to be

Full practice 1 result

Seems that unlike many other race, the harder compound is the best tyre choise.
1. Fernando Alonso Spain McLaren-Mercedes 1:16.973
2. Lewis Hamilton Britain McLaren-Mercedes 1:17.601
3. Nick Heidfeld Germany BMW Sauber 1:17.616
4. Giancarlo Fisichella Italy Renault-Renault 1:17.758
5. Kimi Raikkonen Finland Ferrari-Ferrari 1:17.918
6. Mark Webber Australia Red Bull-Renault 1:17.956
7. Nico Rosberg Germany Williams-Toyota 1:18.074
8. Felipe Massa Brazil Ferrari-Ferrari 1:18.189
9. Robert Kubica Poland BMW Sauber 1:18.675
10. Rubens Barrichello Brazil Honda-Honda 1:18.676

21. Adrian Sutil Germany Spyker-Ferrari 1:21.634
22. Christijan Albers Holland Spyker-Ferrari 1:23.235

Not really. That pace may seem to be fast, but it was done of a supersoft set of Bridgestone. On the harder compound, he just edge out Kimi and Lewis

depends. Many teams don't want it yet as it's not been tested. i say test it on the other races first before making it for F1

yes, and chris horner jumped in a swimming pool dressed as superman coz he bet that if DC get's on the podium, he will do it

"Comfortable and competitive at Williams"
So why did he leave in the first place?

another attempt to undermine Fernando it seems. They are making it look like he does not like his teammate.
Heck, even the sentence, "probably smiling under the helmet" is pretty misleading as it if you skipped the "probably", ppl will take it for granted that it's true.

More likely Shrek 3 or Pirates as it's released in the same weekend

er.. dude, Fernando left Renault because at the time Renault future in F1 was in doubt. The Renault boss did not know wether to pull out or not and they only stayed because they won in 06
and FYI, Fernando earn less at McLaren than he did at Renault, and you still say it's because of money?
