With only 1 week break instead of the usual 2, the Spanish GP is next.
Here is some news on Yuji Ide's revoked Super Licence. Looks like he is too raw.

Ya la. He crashed recklessly in the previous race. He think he is driving go-cart.

Wah Klose, you faster than me. :bsmilie: I was about to post the results. Renault 1-2! They damn power again. Ferrari 3-4 on the 2nd row. Game on i hope. McLaren seem to favour the heavy fuel load/less pit stop strategy. :think:

Watchin FA Cup now. Hope the hammers win :bsmilie: dont want the looneyfools to win :bsmilie:

Feel that Ferrari might be heavy this time round going for a later stop compared to renault. The silver arrows dont know what's up with them but they are on new engines so they shld be able to push

2-2 now but i got no problems if Liverpool win playing well. But West Ham deserve something. They got heart. :heart: Its Hammer time! You can't touch this! :bsmilie: Anyway, OT liao.

I pity Williams and their Cosworth engines. They're a very talented and innovative team but let down by their engine reliability this season. Toyota looked strong too but i think its Renault's race unless Ferrari can pull a rabbit out of the hat again or McLaren come charging late into the race. Both Renault and Ferrari are fast, so i think its down to the race strategy.

The Cosworth engines + the FW28 package are quite good as a whole performance wise (comparing them with the rest of the field minus the front runners). Team BMW is a disappointment considering that it evolved from Sauber which is a pretty decent setup. Toyota is..... :sweat:

BTW... its....


3 - 2 to the Hammers :lovegrin:

Silver arrows are not on new engines for this race. So far, seems like they're favoring heavier fuel load to optimise their race. Seems that they're doing this as they're down on engine power and hence, cant go aggressive on their strategy. So far this season, they seems to be light on their tire wear, traditionally one of the more "gentle" car on tire wear. So best for them to go longer distance to get the most out of their tires. unfortunately, their engines have been their bane for the last few seasons

Wonder what's up with the McLarens...

 

[Redstar202]

Yah loh, McLarens don't seem to be making any impact this season.. so disappointing.

 

[Shadus]

yar, JPM is *always* on a new engine. He'll still be on new engine in Monaco. And if the bookmakers are willing to take the bet on him being on new engine again after that, i'll gladly take the bet.

sad, coz yrs back, i tot JPM will be the challenger to Schumi. dunno wht happen to him at Mclaren.
