I predict a first corner pile-up. I ain't a psychic or anything, but 2 renaults gunning after 2 ferraris in the 1st corner; something's gotta give.

Well, just kidding. Hope this race is really close.

P.S. Also hope Fonsi doesnt win !!!

Hey what time is the race at ??? Kimi 9th

???????

F50 · 2nd July 2006, 03:24

its at 9.30 pm on ESPN and 8.30 pm they are going to show qualifying (its going on now

)

For once, I feel happy for Ferrari. They have done a great job by pushing Alonso to 5th. Great job. I feel bad for Kimi, but that's the way it is.
Schumacher has a pretty good chance of winning this one. Although I won't be surprised if Fisichella does something fantastic.

For once Alonso is not on pole. We all know, he's capable of leading from the front. Now, let's see if he can come up from the third row and win. All the best to him.
IMO, Filipe Massa is an underachiever. He's got top class machinery, but, has failed to make a mark.

Yess !! Lets see what alonso can do now ...

As much as I would HATE to see FA win again.. he and Renault have something that no one else has.. an AMAZING LAUNCH CONTROL SYSTEM on their car... so let's see what he can do from a position off pole!..
GO MICHAEL!!!!!

prince85 · 2nd July 2006, 14:46

Its some time since i saw the Ferrari of MS on the top step of the podium. Hope it happens today with a Ferrai 1-2. And an Alonso DNF would be the perfect icing on the cake. Will liven up the championship big time though!

the real Big B · 2nd July 2006, 15:26
