Do you think maybe Ferrari should make Barricello start a lap down,to avoid any inconvient situations,such as Barrichello being in front eek

No...

i really don't think anything wrong was done, as David Coulthard said, it's no different as in other team sports, such as the Tour De France with Lance Armstrong, Rally Driving and other team sports.

You're paid to do a job and you have to do what you're told.

MS sees himself as just a worker who gets paid to do as he is told. I understand he didn't like the situation but it is no different than what he did for Eddie Irvine a couple of years ago at Malaysia.

It's the Ferrari Way. All the teams (even Williams I think) have done the same team orders stuff..

I'm sure Mclaren also did it as well, although you'd never know :wink: Ron's too crafty.

Monaco is one of my favourites though. i fyou ever get the chane to go, go. I did a long time ago and it was ever so much fun.

BUT, BUT, BUT,.....
If Irvine hadn't had to move over for Schumacher earlier in the season (before Shu broke his leg AND before it was obvious who was going to be world champion, AND who was the more likely Ferrari driver to be champion) then Irvine would have been champion that year!!!!!
Just goes to show how favouring one driver over another can cause you to come unstuck.
Except of course it would have been hugely embarrasing for Ferrari to have Irvine as their first champion for 26 years when they're paying Schumacher all that money, so they were probably quite pleased!!

Yeah! and it is a testament to Eddie Irvine's skills that he qualified 21 st today. I remember that when he was at Ferrari they were still doing a very heavy R&D project and were reliant on Schumachers skills as much off the track as on it.
When he broke his leg, Eddie did good for a couple of races then quickly went down hill from that point. Irvine will never set the world alight, he should move over and let someone else have a turn.
Hate to say it but Montoya did impress me today!

Agreed.

Did you notice how "down" MS was?

:smile:

I suspect that a combination of the public and FIA backlash from two weeks ago, and highly motivated Barichello (who does look good in the 2002 Car) are bound to unsettle him.
He still has a better than even chance in the race, Montoya is good, but so many drivers come unglued at Monaco, I go for a win by someone with more experience at the circuit.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT. mad mad mad

My favourite GP, available for me to watch and we won't be in cry

Don't expect any Fantasy Results for a day or two -we're going to video it and watch it when we get back grin It's been so long, it'll be at least as good as the real thing.

We're going south -we contemplated Indiannapolis, then remembered it might be a bit busy smile

I say, Go Anyone-But-Shumi grin !!!

:razz:

Hopefully the fastest driver will win this week razz

Go David!

Nice to see him win too...

It was actually a good race and seeing F1 using Bernie's F1 TV company was really good....

Nice to hear John Watson commentating too.

Andrew

sad I did'nt get to watch the race sad
Was it good?,we went out in the afternoon so planned to listen live on radio 5 live but the bloody thing would'nt work!! mad Sods law!
Usually it would be repeated on speed but it wasnt,we couldnt recoerd it either because we havent got round to buying any video tapes yet cry
What happened? I know DC won but thats all!

It was a good race Lisa,

Nice to see DC win, and MS complimented DC on a good race and DC (in a very cute way to) blushed and said "thank you" to MS.

It was good to see someone else on the podium too.

Ralf was 3rd.

I enjoyed ABC's coverage too. John Watson was the main commentator (and we enjoyed his style when he used to help out on Speedvision). There was some dorky Brit guy blabbering there but we zoned him out.

Because they used Bernie's TV company the images and shots were all around the track, not just focused on the leaders or somewhere else. Excellent TV coverage.

Canada next - ABC is covering it again smile

Andrew

No video roll )

Trust my guy to win when I could have seen it and didn't mad

lol

am just getting the full results from the BBC for the fantasy thang.
