I don't understand that and it pisses me right off. Why teams favour one driver over the other at the expense of doing well in the race defeats me. Each driver should get the same treatment regardless of talent or wages. Alonso tried it with Mclaren and was told to fuck off! Ferrari on the other hand are famous for that particularly in the reign of Schumacher who had them eating out the palm of his hand. Remember the time the second string driver was leading the Grand Prix and he slowed right down on the finish line on team orders to let Scumy win (Was it Montoya) - I was furious and so too were a few punters who had bet the guy to win. Anyway I am pleased that another team looks to be competitive in the form of BMW and with no traction control we should see the skill or lack of skill of the so called Prima Donnas.

it's easy m8: BMW-Sauber is a german team and Nick Heidfeld is a greman driver.

Hate Hamilton, Come On Everyone minus him and McLaren

[MartyC]

lol harsh what is it about hamilton u dont like? i think he seems like a nice genuine guy.

i think it was barrachello who let schumacher by

[ChampionsElect]

He's English according to the commentators and if it was a scots racer winning he would be British

[tkrass]

then u - i mean Scottish people - want to seperate from the UK or not?

[MartyC]

thats not the point hes making. its common in the uk if an english sporstman does well they say hes english, if a scotsman does well they say he is britsh. if a scotsman does crap they say hes scottish.

its basically there way of taking on our success and seperating from our failure

Bingo

This season will be like like last years. Ferrari will start off slowly but in the end ice-man Kimi will pull thru. Lewis will fail because in the long run he won't be able to rely on Heikki to fight off the ferrari's.

You can't blame Lewis or Team McLaren for that though, take it out on the pundits not the driver or the team. Although I have supported McLaren for many years I did struggle getting behind them when Mansell was driving with them - he was a total tosser but Hamilton is a genuinely nice guy and gifted. As for me being Scottish well I like to see Coulthard doing well so long as he doesn't sit in a Ferrari, then there is Celtic daft Dario Franchiti over in the US of A doing the Indy Car racing.

Thanks for the correction, you are quite right it was Barrichello not Montoya.

[MartyC]

i dont blame anyone for anything hehe i was just pointing out what champ elect ment. im right behined lewis and maclaren, would also love to see some new winners in it as well

I was gutted when coultard got ran out of the race by Massa, but loved his ( "if he dosen`t admit it`s his fault am gonna kick the shite oot the wee bastard" ) haha.

I was also seriously dissapointed to see Kubica fall back so soon into the race, it looked as though his car was gonna be super competitive for P1 after Qualy. Was surprised that only 8 drivers finished the race and loved it when Alonso go straight back in front of Kovi after seein that celebration from Dennis.

I liked Coulthard's response too, however I am unsure as to who to blame. Massa looked to have done nothing wrong and it may be that Coulthard didn't see him. That's saying something 'cos I hate Ferrari

BMW look pacy enough as do the Ferraris and I agree Kubica was dissapointing, Malaysia will give us a better idea on the cometitiveness of the cars when comparing both races, as for only 8 finishing, blame the lack of traction control, pure talent and skill now, as I said before this will weed out the push button Primadonna drivers and let the skillfull few shine through. Looking good for a cracker of a season and the rule changes look interesting too.
