puck7x Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Practice was today... Sato dominated in his BAR-HONDA (Gotta feel bad for JV... BAR finally has a decent car) ... Alonso was 2nd, and Michael 3rd... Qualifying goes tomorrow. In the Ferrari challange event practice Patrice Brisebois had the 11th fastest time, qualifying with that also goes tomorrow, with the race also on Sunday... Go Brisebois! Anyone else besides me still follow F1? Its kind of boring and predictable (Schumi always wins) but I still tune in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs77 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I'll start following it when JV returns, or when an actual race happens. For years now it's just been a parade around the track, golf is more exciting at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I still follow it, since I'm a Ferrari fan, but it is rather boring even for me. I don't think Ferrari will be happy until they have a season where the sweep all the victories. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck7x Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 Good news for us JV fans ... <a href="http://www.rds.ca/cgi-bin/nouvelles?site=rdw&action=4&SPODIR=information&sport=#102836">Williams is interested</a> Lets hope something gets worked out and he's back in a car for 2005... He's not THAT old really, only 33, Michael is 35 and look how dominating he is. So far in qualifying today Button is ahead of everyone else, about halfway through... Edit: Ralph beats Jenson's time, and gets the pole for Sundays race... Button is 2nd, Trulli 3rd. [Edited on 2004-6-12 by puck7x] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trulli barely got off the grid, retired on first lap. lol Michael wins again, surprise, surprise... Brisebois finished 13th in his race... <a href="http://www.rds.ca/cgi-bin/nouvelles?site=rdw&action=4&SPODIR=information&sport=#102923">LINK!</a> [Edited on 2004-6-13 by puck7x] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs77 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Williams & Toyota were disqualified from the race for illegal cooling system for their brakes. So it's a 1-2 Ferrari with Button 3rd. Still boring as hell, most exciting part was the mechanic getting run down. The most celebrated non-event I've ever seen, what a joke. Apparently there were NO celebs in town for the race this year... I think it has a lot to do with the race being in doubt for so long, made other plans. Or maybe they're sick of this sad sport as well... nah they usually come for the parties, not the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I think the worst thing is that Schumacher never even had to make an on track pass for the lead. Wee...it was kinda interesting seeing Barichello on Schumi's tail for a few laps before Rubens ultimately made his pit stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite obvious they played around with each other there for show only... there was no way in hell Barichello would get the green light to pass Schumi even if he happened to have the better car. Which is why every Schumi record is tainted IMO... he's a just a paper champion to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy_Guy_Guy Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Gille Villeneuve could outrace Shumacker any day. I wished Gilles woulda played the same time as Shumacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Ferrari keeps things going, I'm a happy camper. I've followed Ferrari for a long time (since the days of Lauda/Regazzoni/Reutemann/etc) so I'm not a bandwagon fan, either.

dahabs111 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 F1 used to be good....now it's laughable, boring and a waste of time....and F1 knows it too....they're in deep trouble....time to fix F1 a friend of mine had dinner at a ranch near my house the other night....there were 11 people there.....he was introduced to a few people he didn't know.....one of the guys was a foreigner there to check on his horses which are bred & trained on this ranch.... my buddy never realized that he had dinner with Micheal Schmacher!!!!! GO NASCAR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
