Woohoo!! What a qualifying session, definately the best so far. Wheel to wheel racing even before the race!! Just amazing, and very thrilling...

Schumacher is P1 and Massa P2 making it a very Red Ferrari front row

And it looks like Ferrari are gonna rain on Renault and Fonsi..

And like Flavio says, BRAVO FERRARI BRAVO!!

redrage · 15th July 2006, 19:16

That was some great racin in session 3!!! never seen anything like this in qualifyin before! gotta watch out for alonso's start tmr.....!! that would be the catch...

2L8uLoose · 16th July 2006, 18:42

15 laps to go.. Ferrari in the LEAD!!!*insert praying icon here*
Lets hope all goes well... FORZA FERRARI!
EDIT.. WOOHOO... 5.9 second pit stop... WOOHOO!!!!!!!

karthik247 · 16th July 2006, 19:26

Expected a Ferrari 1-2 but still, 1-3 ain't that bad

ranjan united · 16th July 2006, 19:44

Awesome drive by Schumi. He had the advantage and made full use of it. Kudos to Bridgestone for supplying a brilliant tyre; it played a huge (well actually, the largest) part in Ferrari's success. Comentators on Speed TV and TSN mentioning how Michelin disallowed their teams to use a certain compound for safety reasons. Needless to say, this was the same compound preffered by Kimi and Alonso and other Michelin drivers. Makes me wonder that Michelin quitting F1 was a good decision.

Hatari · 17th July 2006, 13:36

whoa ! what happened there..
michelin seem to have gone off to sleep..
bridgestone on the other hand are doing really well..

not complaining tho.. will see trulli's toyota in the top 5 more often..
reliability permitting ofcourse

Sushrutha,
My friend who organizes this for us every year tells me that he is gradually getting me used to F1 (6 cars last year and 9 this year).

Hoping to reach double digits next year, that is, if they still have the race at Indy!

Dippy · 20th July 2006, 10:14

The US GP is long over and even the French race for that matter. Lets look forward to Germany now shall we?

This is turing out to be one tight season. With another 6-7races to go, looks like Schumi will have something to smile about with the championship points closing with every race. The Ferrari-Bridgestone combo getting better and better and this being Schumacher's home track, he would give it a 110% for sure. So in all, should be one big race, and a thriller for sure. Will MS and Ferrari keep the winning streak goin, or do FA and Renault have sumtin up their sleeve....

cheap_deal · 24th July 2006, 22:29

schumi as always on top, this time massa will drive the wedge between schumi n alonso. 3rd place.... who cares

karthik247 · 24th July 2006, 22:39

Whats with Renaults new aero package???

killjoy · 25th July 2006, 01:24

schumi, no doubts about it.

ranjan united · 25th July 2006, 04:17

Schumi and Kimi going for 1st. Bad week for FA.

whatcanthisbe · 25th July 2006, 12:13

Again pole positions dictate the outcome of the race , what if it rains on sat during qualifying
