He is, and he is commited. However i am more concerned about Fernando. They do say BMW drivers are arse holes........................it seems like fate to me



Alonso must go back to Renault. I cant see anything other than that happening. I will be shocked if he wont go back tbh.

I agree totally, if he manages to get himself into another team i will be surprised.

Yeah, and disappointed too I bet, since you're his number 1 fan in the world
Going to a lower team will probably make you switch to another favoutire driver

Why do you say that?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tom @ Dec 2 2007, 05:34 PM) [snapback]103074[/snapback]<div class='quotemain'>
Why do you say that?

Because when you started watching, he was winning, and now he isn't, you must feel really disappointed and heartbroken
It's ok, you can switch to another driver..maybe Jenson or Massa or Lewis, you have your pick

Join the other side!!!!!
You won't regret it

Hey does one of you know if both Raikkonen and Schumacher will test this week???

They wont, once again it has been organized so that Kimi and Michael do not meet on track, which is a shame. However Shumi will be on track with Lewis, which for me is more interesting to see. I can't wait.

Nah, not interesting, they dont have the same car..well maybe its a little bit interesting

I actually meant, will both of them test this week, not as in the same day, but maybe Kimi 2 days and MS 2??

Yeah they will for sure, so at least you can compare the times.

Yeah, not that it really matters, we all know who's better, and it aint the Finn. Maybe it's better they're not on track the same day!!
At least now, if Kimi's slower, we can blame the track conditions, cause the conditions are different every day

I guess it is handy to have available the driver who is possibly the best of all time at setting up and developing an F1 car if you are switching to a non-tc car when your current drivers have no experience with this. However if he tests enough as you say it is fairly likely he will be faster than even kimi, which will surely be somewhat dispiriting.

Yep, who cares about testing really

Kimi has experience with it, but you're right, MS will (most likely) be faster than him, cause he has way more experience than Kimi, and..he's simply better than him, that's the main reason I think

Heidfeld was fastest yesterday. Raikkonen finally appeared on track. He was a second slower that Quick Nick though!! Today both Felipe and Kimi will test, it's probably Michael's turn tomorrow and friday.

Hamilton fastest day two. Must have been the practice in the Liana that helped


1 L. Hamilton McLaren 01:19.371 73
2 D. Coulthard Red Bull 01:19.421 80
3 F. Massa Ferrari 01:19.761 97

19 K. Kobayashi Toyota 01:21.699 118
20 N. Heidfeld BMW 01:22.875 93

I never know what to think about these tests, because we can't really be sure who's faster than who. I guess we'll see the same teams in front, Ferrari and Mclaren, and I expect BMW to make a step forward. Also think Honda and Renault will do a good job. I guess it almost couldnt go worse for Honda. With Brawn there it should go better. No wins though.

Hopefully things will go well for Honda. I really want to see Jenson on the podium more. I think there is going to be some rivalry on the track between Lewis and Jenson next season.
