pjem 0 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'm going to be at Suzuka as well, so I'm hoping for a reasonably interesting season that's not decided by then. Link to post Share on other sites

xxx 2 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 All the other teams have officially given up and gone into a brooding period followed by lots of excitement when they feel they might have a chance for the 2005 season. After the buildup and everyone saying that this season would be much closer, its disappointing... Anyone watch CART? Link to post Share on other sites
LARD 0 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Next race in the sand. I suppose that might make it marginally exciting. Anyway, take Schu out of the equation and its all quite close. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 And it blew it. I think I'm boycotting the rest of the season. What the fcks up with McLaren? Link to post Share on other sites
I_HATE_CHEESE 0 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Formula One boring? Not for me, says Schu Michael Schumacher is completely unconcerned that his winning streak is making Formula One boring and says he has never enjoyed driving so much. In an interview to appear on Saturday in Munich's TZ daily, the six-times world champion said racing has become easier now without any worries about records, but said he thought McLaren and Williams were still dangerous opponents. "I'm just having fun," the German said. "It's just a great feeling at the moment, getting into the car and I get really excited about going out and driving a fast lap. "It's getting more fun every year, perhaps because the pressure is gone, because I don't keep getting asked about records and statistics all the time," he added. "I'm only driving because I want to drive." Fears that Schumacher would dominant the championship the way he did in 2002 grew after Sunday's pole-to-post win in the Malaysian Grand Prix, two weeks after Ferrari's dominant one-two finish at the season-opening race in Australia. After one of the closest title battles for years last season, with Schumacher taken down to the wire before claiming his record sixth championship, 2004 is already threatening to turn into a cakewalk for the Italian team. Ferrari's last period of domination led to a decline in television viewing figures and a raft of changes to pep up the sport. But Schumacher said the world championship is far from decided. "Should I hit the brakes just because that would be apparently good for Formula One?," Schumacher said when asked whether his dominance was making the sport dull. "No way," he added. "In fact, I'm going to have to push harder because the others are getting closer all the time. Stop thinking that the championship is all but wrapped up." Schumacher, who picked up his 72nd career victory in Malaysia, said the gap between Williams and Ferrari had narrowed and predicted McLaren would bounce back from their current woes. Looking at the championship standings, Schumacher noted that even though he has 20 points from the first two races, Williams driver Juan Pablo Montoya was only eight points back on 12. "If I'm not able to finish in Bahrain, Montoya could take over the lead," Schumacher said. Schumacher also reiterated that he was not even contemplating retirement. "If the others start lapping me, then it'll be time to quit," he said How about this chin man, get out of the Ferrari and get into a Jordan and then show us how good you REALLY are, if its not about money and its only about driving then prove it! go on I do you I double dare you!

fukdane 2 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Why would he want to drive a lesser car? That doesnt make sense. Link to post Share on other sites
OutOfControl 0 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I don't like him, but it is blatantly obvious that he is an excellent and most likely the best driver out there. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 It might be good if Raikkonen went to Ferrari and we had those 2 racing each other in the same car. Link to post Share on other sites
ChocoPie 0 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'm not that far from Suzuka, and plan to go this season. Looks like it will all be decided way before then though Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 CHEESE. If you were The Chin, would you do that? I don't think I would and pretty sure most people out there wouldn't either. Why should he? Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Button put up a semi-fight there for the first part of the race, good on him. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 The first lap was quite interesting before it got back down to the tedium. Interesting to see BAR doing so well - I wonder what Villeneuve is thinking. Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderbird2 0 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 At least it was a slight improvement on the previous 3. BAR really have made a big improvement all of a sudden, the McLaren nightmare continues. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 I hope Button can do something unlikely this weekend. He was fastest in 2nd practice yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites
stripper on coke 0 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I think everyone is missing the point. The important thing I get from the season so far, is this; I think it is wonderful to hear the German having fun........now, if he would only smile... Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 He does smile. And hes put on weight don't you think? Hmm. Monaco. Someone please stop him. Link to post Share on other sites
