yeah I know what you mean but it aint like motogp is it? the driver can't make a slow car win

Damon Hill - Hungary - Arrows...

Nearly won..20p oil seal failed - had a minute lead over everyone in a car that was bad.

Just off the top of my head - it's entirely possible.

how close was kimi's right front to fisi's left rear

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:50

What have the stewards said about Fisi? Because of his double block?

fisi looks a little.... sheepish

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 07:53

He looks NO SWEARING off, probably because he's just had a bar of soap chucked on the floor infront of him by Flav...

Nice to see we're getting the press conference

Odd - as his teammate did badly as did all the other bridgestone shod drivers.

The top 6 throughout the year was dominated by the Goodyear drivers.

That was due to Hill's smooth driving style and a very progressive engine - not as powerfull - but the delivery was very linear.

Hungary benefits from a smooth and flowing driving style. Hill learnt that from racing bikes.

cant remember much about the race other than the drive from damon... come to think about it the last time I was up to see a flyaway race was 96 watching him here at suzuka

Even better to see him having to push really hard, and coming nowhere in relation to Raikkonen

Expecting complaints being put in about Sato, Villeneuve and Fisichella.

Sato - for being a menace to any other car on the track.
Villeneuve - Pushing Montoya off the track and causing the accident and safety car
Fisichella - Moving over twice to try and block Raikkonen

f1 is never boring with sato on the track

Cor, didn't half make a mess of the bodywork of the Toyota!

bet it takes longer than a few seconds to fix it with that van in their ads
best thing to do with trulli though

he ruined a few races this year by being a roadblock.... sato just cleared the road

I'm not saying he drove badly, he had a very good race and showed his worth - two fantastic overtaking moves. Any driver would be happy finishing 3rd coming from the back of the grid. Apart from Kimi.

Well, I'm going back to bed me thinks!

Thanks guys, enjoyed your company as usual

What a load of bungholes!
