Ya the 2006 season is pretty much over already. Alonso is going to win the driver's title. I used to be an Alonso fan before he started winning, but lately he seems too cocky about being #1 so I just want to see someone else win a race and beat him fairly on the track.

Yeah i agree with amuse, alonso is too cocky right.
But he really have a perfect skill in driving in F1. So i think he will be number one again this year

Man, I totally didn't realize that the Cdn Grand Prix ws on today!

At last Raikkonen and McLaren had a chance to beat Alonso but they so screwed up

And then Raikkonen let Schumacher pass on the last lap by making a stupid mistake again.

But it was an interesting race though.

Any time I get to see Montoya screw up and take himself out of the race makes it a good race for me!

It was about time for Alonso not being on the podium

I don't remember the last time I was so happy about Schumacher and Ferrari dominance. One more race like this and we get an interesting end-season

JFC probably liked it when Montoya crashed Raikkonen's tail

Not very good race for McLaren.

After the crash at turn 1, Ron Dennis (McLaren boss) looked like he wanted to punch somebody out

It was nice to see Alonso struggle for once but he was lucky so many cars retired, or else he wouldn't have scored any points.

I liked it that Montoya crashed, but hated it that it was Kimi that he crashed into.

This is yet just another example of how Montoya, while skilled, is also reckless.

Of course you're joking. Everyone knows the most overrated F1 driver ever is Montoya.

probably old news but WTF

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/racing/07/09/montoya.nascar.ap/index.html

one thing i don't like about NASCAR is that it's so white, hopefully this will help.

JFC · « **Reply #253 on:** July 10, 2006, 08:15:36 AM »

Considering Montoya's lack of performance...correction, his POOR performance with McLaren, I'm betting his F1 ride was probably at risk.

At least in NASCAR, unless he tries to actually ram someone, his driving style (characterized by the fact that he has a tendency to make contact with other drivers) will not be as risky/dangerous as it is in open-wheel racing.

But dammit, now I won't be able to make fun of/insult his driving in F1 anymore. :evil:

ctz · « **Reply #254 on:** July 10, 2006, 09:41:00 AM »

Good decision from Montoya. Nascar is a new challenge, and now he doesn't end up driving F1 in small teams competing for a couple of points in a season like Villeneuve did after his years in Williams.

McLaren responds by kicking Montoya off the team, hahaha.

Yay for Pedro de la Rosa driving again

If Raikkonen goes to Ferrari, I hope Lewis Hamilton gets his chance with McLaren.

Konno speaks the truth

BMW introduced new wings, nicknamed "twin towers":

I don't know if they work, but I guess FIA bans them pretty soon, just like they did to the extra wings on sides before. F1 cars shouldn't look like clowns

JFC · « **Reply #259 on:** July 15, 2006, 12:31:20 AM »

Well, two seasons ago when they were partnered with Williams they tried that double-keel design on the front of their cars and that proved to be a failure. I say this new one will last to the end of the season at the most. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Villeneuve complains about it obstructing his vision (which, could be a valid point).
