Truly a good race and I hope Rubens does well. Freaky start, huh?
This is good.

It looked like no gas or no gears - either will pretty much do the same for a car!

The usual team excuse...
Still, I suppose they control most things these days.

Indeed. I think you won't have to wait long. I can see many more MS/JPM front rows this season, and I can see them having an enormous accident.
Let's see:
Tamburello?
Austria (again!!)?
Ste Devote?
La Source?
Stowe?
All the great shunt corners, all coming up...

like they did in australia

Looking forward to all of them already.
Getting tired of MS very fast.

Yes, he's only interesting when he has to really work for it. Which I suppose is true of all of them.

It helps though when the FIA make drivers other than him do things like a pit drive through. I like how they make up the rules as they go along.
Does anyone remember a few years ago when MS won at Silverstone (I think '98, or '99) as he drove through the pits to serve his 10 sec. penalty - ON THE LAST FREAKIN' LAP. WTF is that about?
oooOO, I get aggrevated with the FIA sometimes.
Like he's not already one of the best drivers in F1 history, they have to give him a little help here and there.

They make MS very successfull, so alot of people will look to the races to see if he breaks another record. More people watching means higher ratings. Higher ratings mean more money.

something isn't right at ferrari, and i'm not a conspiracy nut.

They have only one driver, that's MS
Rubens is just someone who drives because Ferrari has to race with two cars.

You forgot one in your poll.
Does Rubens get screwed by his team unless TGF is out of the race?

That's true!
But he did walk into that situation, so you can only have limited sympathy for him. There are so many times when he has singularly failed to perform all on his own, without the help of his team screwing things up for him.

I agree to a point, but, and very big but. It is not in his (Rubens) but MS's contract that he is #1 driver. From what I understand, Rubens contract says nothing about being the #2 driver. It is in the "greatest F1 racer in histrory's" contract that he is to be supported by his "teammate". That in itself is an oxymoron. Agree?Originally posted by GilesGuthrie

I don't think that neccesarily, but he is without a doubt in the top 10 (or so). I'm just not a fan of TGF.
