9/28/2007 11:53:14 AM

I hope it does.

alonso + rain =



massa (and many others) couldn't keep the back end in line for most of 2nd practice.

9/28/2007 12:32:39 PM

I just hope the japanese cranes don't help Hamilton like the ones at Nurburgring.

9/28/2007 12:54:29 PM

damn you hamilton.

9/29/2007 2:54:53 AM

God bless you Hamilton

9/29/2007 11:32:37 AM

i just got home from Fuji Speedway about 30 min ago. I am very exhausted, so I will post my comments/pictures sometime this week!

The weather was horrible, but I had blast!!!!

I actually stayed up (well, woke up) to watch the race. holy hell I don't know how fans could deal with that. I think almost every driver had some great moments, and some really stupid ones. red boys, you are just flat stupid for starting on inters, and then having 3 or more pit stops. that cost you the win.

hamilton is an asshole for his comments over the past few days in the press, then his brake checking during the sc periods...........

9/30/2007 11:14:05 AM

ohh stfu... i wouldn't want people following me close either behind a safty car i mean wtf are they doing trying to pass ? errr wait YOU CAN'T!! i mean look what happened to webber i mean i'm sure they're trying to keep the car warm or something but damn its just dumb to be driving beside each other behind the safety car.


btw gg kimi and heikki


p.s. massa is the real f1 jackass

9/30/2007 12:22:33 PM

so it's ok to come to almost a complete fucking stop in a turn just to bunch the field together, especially when vision is that poor? he was trying to have a webber/vettle type incident.

9/30/2007 3:02:33 PM

if you are leading the world championship, you would do stuff like that

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER DID THAT TYPE OF SHIT ALL THE TIME AND THE PRESS WOULD SUCK HIS DICK TO GET HIM ON CAMERA TODAY

10/1/2007 8:35:05 AM

schumi did that shit, and montoya rear ended him (monaco, in the tunnel), and the press said schumi was not without blame.

10/1/2007 8:46:36 AM

Okay... I have a couple of comments about above...

1. About Ferrari used standard wet tires and had to make a pit stop for change..
-> It's said that Ferrari received an email regarding extreme weather tires after the race started. They used standard wet tires based on the weather forecast without knowing that FIA ordered all the teams to use extreme weather tires.

2. About Hamilton's braking thing during the safety car...
-> Hamilton was trying to check and warm up the breaking system. I can KINDA understand that. However, I don't know if it was good idea to do so at a corner. Normally, F1 machines go into the corner/curve by high speed, right? It's natural that the gap between F1 machines gets closer at the corner. So if a racer puts on the sudden strong break, following F1 macines may get in accident.
NSFW, let me tell you this... Also it's normal to drive beside each other behind the safety car under the bad weather. A racer can't see a thing because of splashes of water when he drives behind a F1 machine, so it's very dangerous. Thus, they try to drive beside each other.

Why is Massa the real F1 jackass???

I apologize for my bad grammar. My English skill is getting worse and worse in Japan...

I've never liked Alonso since he was at Renault. But I feel sorry for him lately.. I can never understand how bad he would feel to be alone/lonely in McLaren. Look at the picture of him after he was out from the race at Japan GP. I saw him looking at his machine with very sad face on the screen at Fuji Speedway.


Grrrrr lucky Hamilton!!!! I admit that he is very talented (at McLaren), but I can't stand him lately! He's been playing hardball against Alonso. How can he say in public that he wants Alonso to leave McLaren?!?!? Hamilton acts like a sweet innocent driver but I think he is really black-hearted...

Comments and pictures of Japan GP to come later!

Are you talking about Massa and Kubica thing at last lap?

[Edited on October 1, 2007 at 11:59 AM. Reason : I :heart: F1! ]

10/1/2007 11:36:55 AM

I think Hamiliton was trying to screw with Alonso. Theres certainly a mental aspect to racing, and if you can wear someone down even more in an already stressful race, you give yourself an even bigger advantage. Playing nice isn't necessarily a priority.

Wasn't it Alonso who brake checked someone in practice or qualifying last year or the year before? And as stated, Schumacher did it too.

10/1/2007 6:31:52 PM

Yeah that last lap was nuts.

10/1/2007 7:25:16 PM

Ralf Shumi is leaving Toyota!!!! Who is joining Toyota for next season???? Alonso??? Massa???

Pictures from F1 Japan GP!!!











I uploaded some pictures of Japan GP on myspace. I didn't upload all the pictures I took. (Yes, I took lots of pictures...and some videos.)
If you are interested in checking more pics from Japan GP, go to my myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/akikofromthepack

The fence was annoying when I took pictures!!
Let me know what you think of my pictures!

[Edited on October 2, 2007 at 4:20 AM. Reason : Japan GP!]

10/2/2007 4:15:33 AM

the fence is hard to get around sometimes, you need to sit as high as possible. Great pics so far; I really wish I had my SLR during the USGP; I have it now and use it at VIR all the time now.

10/2/2007 8:20:22 AM

I wonder how many F1 components are made in China? Its the "home" race for like every mass produced thing in the US

Good thing there are no Chinese F1 drivers, good GOD could you imagine

10/4/2007 9:43:20 PM

just stirring things up








hamilton drove like a drunk idiot during the sc periods

10/4/2007 9:58:50 PM

^I totally agree.

No penalty for Hamilton over Japanese Grand Prix!!
http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/10/6934.html

FIA/Bernie sure is going all out to crown Lewis the champion this year. This is the 3rd time in this season that FIA has helped him. The other 2 being: getting help from a crane in germany and driving an ilegal mclaren car.

10/5/2007 9:19:05 AM

im still rooting for M. Schumacher

10/5/2007 10:26:06 AM

^^ I read an article that Hamilton threatened to leave F1 when FIA interviewed him about his driving during the SC. What an asshole he is!!

10/5/2007 12:42:51 PM

hes an arrogant little shit with no respect for anyone with more experience than himself. he just happens to be really really good.

10/5/2007 1:46:37 PM

It's not bragging if you can back it up
-Muhammad Ali

pretty the same thinking involved here

10/5/2007 8:35:59 PM

yeah he is the Ali of F1

go back to page 1 of the thread, the first picture I posted, I thought MASSA would be champ for sure! Gah!

[Edited on October 5, 2007 at 8:37 PM. Reason : page 1]

10/5/2007 8:37:12 PM

Well, at least FIA withdrew the penalty against Vettel at China GP.. whew.

I wish I were still at Japan GP...
The race itself was great.
But there were lots of troubles/problems at Fuji Speedway. Have you all heard of the horrible operation of Japan GP by Toyota? Everyone in Japan still talks about it.
The operation was HORRIBLE!
Toyota failed to manage the Japan GP.
Many people don't wanna go to Japan GP at Fuji next year.
I'm still going to Japan GP next year using a travel agent... not gonna use the ticket & ride system.

10/5/2007 10:07:21 PM

I heard roads were washed away

Fuji Speedway is refunding money to people who couldn't get in because of the conditions or because their seats were in areas that had no view of the track!!

10/6/2007 7:01:24 PM

What an awesome race... it could not have gone better.

Go Kimi!
Forza Ferrari!

10/7/2007 3:42:55 AM

What the hell were Hamilton and Mclarens thinking? His rear tires are totally gone.

10/7/2007 10:22:04 PM

wow i just finally watched the race and wow what a show

STRs both in points

Button in points

Last race, 3 drivers could win. DAMN. Um how much to fly to Brasil in two weeks??

10/7/2007 10:38:44 PM

i watched the race last night...
DAMN unbelievable!!!

it was a great race.
well, hamilton still has advantage to win the drivers championship.. but i still hope that raikkonen will!!!

good job, raikkonen
good job, ferrari


this season has been very competitive and fun to watch!

10/8/2007 3:42:16 AM

I would wager on Alonso pulling it off, the ONLY way Kimi does if BOTH Mclarens don't finish in the points and he basically has to win.

10/8/2007 9:03:02 AM

^No. Kimi will win the WDC only if he wins the race and Alonso and Hamilton finish 3rd and 6th respectively.
Alonso will win the WDC if he wins the race and Hamilton finishes 3rd (which Ron Dennis will ensure won't happen).

10/8/2007 9:25:09 AM

Anyone else think it was retarded of Alonso to blame his team for having a "slower" car in qualifying this past weekend? If they didn't sabotage his car before, they have a reason to now. It's sorta like fucking with the people who serve your food, you just don't do it... I'm hoping Alonso leaves racing soon, he may be a decent driver, but he seems to be a pretty poor sport.

10/8/2007 6:14:47 PM

another team like Toyota would kill to have him, he ain't leaving F1

10/8/2007 7:53:26 PM

I know he isn't going anywhere, but one can always hope.

10/8/2007 9:49:08 PM

Alexander Wurz of Williams will retire as a F1 driver! He is not going to drive at Brazil GP!

[Edited on October 9, 2007 at 1:02 AM. Reason : a]

10/9/2007 1:01:20 AM

10/9/2007 1:09:52 AM

Kazuki Nakajima is going to race at Brazil GP for Williams!!!

Wooo Japan!

10/9/2007 6:54:06 AM

OH well there goes the start of that race for anybody behind him (j/k)

They really should just have a race for the top 3 just to ensure no bullshit stuff with other drivers

Man I can't wait, I swear this is going to be the best race in like 10 years

10/9/2007 7:28:26 AM

Speed will be in HD next year http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/autoindustry/40671/

when they showed the F1 races on FOX HD, they were widescreen and look awesome, so we should see more of this in the future. All of the IndyCar series will be in HD on ESPN affiliates next year too

i've been saying alonso was a punk ass mother fucker for the last 3 years. nobody wants to listen when they're on the winning team bandwagon.

^speed in HD? guess its time for a new tv

10/10/2007 8:18:26 PM

As I said earlier on this thread, I've never liked Alonso since Renault. However, it is natural that he expects to get treated as a champion at McLaren. And I don't like how he's been treated by McLaren's engineers and RON DENNIS. I hope he is NOT leaving F1 soon. I hope he will drive for a different team next year (Toyota or Renault? umm I'd like to see him at Toyota though) and compete with Raikkonen, Hamilton, and Massa.

Anyway, who doesn't enjoy F1 2007 season???? It's like the era of Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alan Prost, and Ayrton Senna...

10/10/2007 10:02:24 PM

glad i made this thread

10/10/2007 11:03:32 PM

FIA will now make certain Alonso will be treated the same as Hamilton, apparently Spanish section of the FIA believes he was deliberately sabotaged at Japan, overinflated front tires and so on..........

I mean damn

If Ron Dennis could say that to the press, I am sure that behind the scene he is doing much more to ensure that Alonso does not win the WDC.

I am not a Alonso fan either. Never have been. But I hate Hamilton, and I would rather prefer Alonso win the WDC than Hamilton.
