god damnit jpm

7/2/2006 2:30:57 PM

AND IT'S FERRARI WITH THE 1-2 FINISH!

Schumi should have slowed down (or Massa should have sped up) so they could have a photo finish going across the line...

7/2/2006 3:26:16 PM

yeah i thought that was standard...

7/2/2006 3:37:25 PM

grrrrrrr montoya!!! why did he have to hit his teammate!?!? raikkonen had a big chance to take over alonso today!

7/2/2006 8:28:34 PM

This requires that I wear my Ferrari hat for at least a week!

7/3/2006 1:30:55 PM

Montoya is going to NASCAR!!!

7/9/2006 11:34:50 PM

yep, going to shake things up next year. can't wait to hear what the speed tv guys say during the french gp about this.

7/9/2006 11:37:09 PM

whoa! Montoya will NOT race in F1 any more... not even France GP!! He is getting out of F1 now!

7/11/2006 7:18:58 AM

not too surprising. he'll be able to start testing in a couple weeks and possibly try to race in the final 10 busch series races this year.

7/11/2006 8:23:43 AM

i heard his wife is having a baby soon, too

7/11/2006 8:24:49 AM

yep, september.

7/11/2006 11:11:24 AM

I'm watching a rerun of the last round of qualifying at Magny-Cours and it's highly entertaining. Schumi and Alonso are running it basically like a race, trading passes and blocking each other, pitting together, and gradually picking up the pace on each other's cue.

7/16/2006 4:11:20 AM

Schumi all the way!!!! another ferrari 1-2 maybe? only a few hours to go!!!

7/16/2006 4:19:35 AM

screw ferrari.

massa had a lot of nice blocks in the first few laps.

7/16/2006 8:50:30 AM

France GP is on tv in Japan now... well, it sux Raikkonen didn't make it to the podium, but at least shumi finished the first.. I don't wanna see Alonso win the race any more!!!

7/16/2006 11:22:30 AM

well i really think that McLaren will be Raikkonen and Alonso, but I swear the seat to have will be Renault next year. Fisichella probably won't be back either- 2 spots open. I want Scott Speed in one of them

7/17/2006 11:57:48 AM

no way Renault gives a seat to an American. It will be interesting to see who gets it though.

7/17/2006 12:13:15 PM

wait, you think fisi won't be back? he's signed and they've said he's the main driver next year. Heikki Kovalainen should have the #2 seat at Renault next year.

If Scott continues to do well for the rest of the season he will likely move up to the main Red Bull team instead of Liuzzi.

raikkonen.. damn.. he has been cursed by F1 this year..

congrat to Button~ congrat to Honda Japan!!!!

8/6/2006 10:41:56 AM

^^In all fairness, Michael was 30 or 40 seconds behind Button when he had his failure.

8/6/2006 11:12:29 AM

most exciting race in a long time

gg button, ran alonso down in the drying conditions.

8/6/2006 6:16:56 PM

kubica has been DQ'ed for being 2KG underweight once all of the fuel was drained from the car. Schumacher has been bumped up to 8th place, receiving 1 point.

8/6/2006 6:43:33 PM

That is such bulls***.

8/6/2006 7:06:28 PM

JV out at BMW

3 week break should mean a good bit more testing to get the engines tweaked before the engine freeze later this year, hopefully renault can find some more power to compete with ferrari's c spec engine.

"Schumacher reportedly to retire Sunday 7-time Formula One champion could make announcement at Italian GP MSNBC News Services Updated: 11:26 a.m. ET Sept 6, 2006 Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher will announce his retirement at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, the German newspaper Bild reported. "We can't comment on everything. As we said, there will be more on Sunday," Schumacher spokeswoman Sabine Kehm told Bild. The possibility of Schumacher announcing his retirement hangs over Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix. Even if Ferrari’s seven times world champion wins at Monza and slashes Fernando Alonso’s overall lead to single figures with three races remaining, all could be overshadowed by what happens afterwards. With Germany’s mass-circulation Bild flagging up Schumacher’s impending retirement on Wednesday, there is every reason to fear that the greatest and most remarkable career in Formula One history is coming to an end. If that proves to be the case, Monza will be Schumacher’s European farewell to the Ferrari faithful at the temple of Italian motor racing. Ferrari, who are expected to sign Kimi Raikkonen from McLaren, have promised an announcement after the race. Until then, they and the German are keeping the secret to themselves. “Of course I know that Ferrari’s announcement is being eagerly awaited,” said Schumacher on his Web site. “We announced last week that it will be made on Sunday following the race because we want to do our best in focusing on the race, and of course I’m sticking to this agreement. “So all I can do is ask everyone to understand that I don’t want to touch on that subject until next Sunday.” If the 37-year-old does announce he is leaving at the end of the season, Monza would be a fitting place to salute his legions of fans and bask in their warmth. It was at the Milanese circuit, with Benetton in 1991, that the German scored his first points in only his second grand prix. “The first time I raced, I never had any idea that I would make it so far,” he said in a 2003 biography penned by his spokeswoman Sabine Kehm. “That was in Monza in 1991 when I drove further than 500 metres for the first time (in a grand prix). I got into a wheel-to-wheel with the great Ayrton Senna because he was having difficulties right at the beginning of the race and I was able to chase and attack him. “That was the moment I realised that we all only cook with water. If someone is sitting in the right car at the right time, they can beat anyone. I realised that then, and I still believe it today.” It was at Monza, in 2000, that he cried openly after equalling the late Senna’s 41 wins in a race that also saw a marshal fatally injured. After finishing third in the previous Turkish Grand Prix won by team mate Felipe Massa, Schumacher can hope to return to the top of the podium for the 90th time. A Ferrari one-two led by Schumacher would cut world champion Alonso’s lead from 12 points to at least eight while the Italian team overturned their two-point deficit to Renault in the constructors’ standings. “Our strategy has to be attacking,” said Schumacher on his Web site. “We have to close the gap and the only way to do that is by consistently putting on the pressure and pushing hard. “It’s not the first time we’ve been in a situation like this and our experience will be of help to us. I think our chances of turning the championship around are very good,” he added. “Lots of things can still happen in the remaining four races. I think we still have every reason to dream of winning both titles.” © 2006 MSNBC Interactive "

Renault announced that its driver's lineup for next season would be Fisichella and Kovalainen..

I am glad Raikkonen wouldn't go to Renault..

I can't wait to hear that Ferrari anounces to have Raikkonen next season

9/7/2006 1:00:10 PM

A bit odd to declare you will retire right in the middle of a championship fight. This is a clear signal to me that Schumacher thinks he cannot defeat Alonso and is partaking in damage control.

9/9/2006 4:16:05 PM

and on the last few laps too

9/10/2006 1:11:23 AM

fuck the stewards, that's a bullshit penalty against alonso.

9/10/2006 7:43:29 AM

i am not a big fan of alonso.. but i don't think the penalty against him is fair. he was on full speed to pass on control line, so i don't think he was blocking massa.

9/10/2006 9:03:16 AM

well done michael, good luck in whatever you do from here on out.

9/10/2006 9:30:51 AM

Good job Michael.

When I heard Ferrari was pushing him out, I was thinking Schumacher would go to a German team for a year or two, like BMW. I guess just retiring though would be better, as he's in a championship fight now and continuing on in a B car would just take off the luster.

Luca di Montezemelo, Ferrari President, said the decision was made a few weeks ago, and the announcement was planned to be at Monza.

Wow, Villenueve, Montoya, and Schumacher all gone in one year.

9/10/2006 9:58:40 AM

What happened to Alonso in today that he didn't finish?

I found a torrent site where you can dl the races
