And what do you guys think of the proposed rule changes for 06? Sounds like they want to totally change the sport!

Did you see all the "babes" on the grid at Bahrain? That was funny!

Sounds fantastic to me. 2004 is begining to look like 2002 all over again. You cant blame Ferrari and Schuamcher for doing the best job, but you have to say so far this yeah is looking mighty boring, and im begining to look further afield for motorsports action to NASCAR, CART, and DTM rather than watching what is turning out to be a Ferrari Red wash, and the brit press constantly bumming Jenson Button

F1 needs changed. Simple as that IMO. And these new rules will heopuflly bring in some private teams again (arden said they wanted to make the jump to F1)

Personally the idea of slowing down the cars so they can keep up with the Ferrari is sickining, and really not at all good for the sport. Anyhow Ferrari dominates because I am conviced of their incredible rear differential. A few years ago it was discovered that they're gearbox-differential combination was more than half the size of the rest of the teams. I believe this was noticed one year after their domination began. If you watched France Micheals car had some very odd rear tire smoke at odd ends of the race. My guess was some sort of error with the differential driving the car around the slow turns. Also if you've watched the On-Board shots this weekend at Silverstone, around the final long turn onto the pit straight they Ferrari is hardly hardly receiving ANY steering input at all, it pales in comparison to Alonso; who also loves his understeer. But in comparison with everyone on the track they give no input around long corners and just dominate on most every track. Take what you will the Ferrari team has for sure as hell has discovered something nobody else has, and I'm damned for certain that it's that rear differential.

Shock news from BAR today - Honda have confirmed they've bought out 45% of the team and David Richards has been sacked! What the fuck are these guys doing, he totally turned the team around for them! Before he arrived BAR were about as good as Minardi, now they're beating everyone except Ferrari. Weird decision!

No wonder the guy looks pissed off

Fuck Honda. I hope Kimi and McLaren win the titles next year. I've been F1 fan for a long time. Mika and Lotus times are in my memory so well. Mika's F1 career did include rough times, but he made it at last. It's so great.

Don't worry Ascaris, I support the best team. not Honda or McLaren

Mind you, I respect Ron Dennis for being so heavily into design - they've got an amazing new HQ!!!

I support McLaren Mercedes and BMW-Williams. I like british style to do things and I love german motors and cars. And Kimi is driving my favourite team's car, so it's quite simple to cheer.

I'm a Ferrari supporter, myself I like a series that has some great action from all the teams not just the top ranked teams. I like that Ferrari has set the bar high that BAR, BMW and the other teams have to work to get a win and when they get a win it is very well deseved. on a side note I bought the Ferrari laptop by Acer becasue of its F1 roots

I've seen those 951 - any good, or do you pay a loy more just for the badge?
