What do you guys say?? Who will win the last race this season??

I have a strong feeling its gonna be Rubino......
But, F1 will be F1, surprises all round.

Hatari · 23rd October 2004, 17:05

they'r really picking up the pace huh !
a 1 min 11 something lap by RB..

hope it doesnt rain tho

bharathsolomon · 23rd October 2004, 20:35

its 1sec down with both the ferraris leading

1:10:229 & 1:10:352

bharathsolomon · 23rd October 2004, 20:37

Rain will surely bring forth interesting proposition and an action packed race

bharathsolomon · 23rd October 2004, 20:39

somethings wrong with michaels car - stopped right at sector 2
am not sure if it was pre planned to give rubino the edge

Hatari · 23rd October 2004, 21:34

after schumi's crash.. he might have to start 10 places down the grid..
in his spare car..

dont think RB will get a better chance of winning his home race than this !

Interesting Race tomorrow

with Schumacher starting from back its really going to be exciting

Thats the reason he is the best and stands above other drivers.

He will make his way up converting half chances into positives -

@@@ u might see him on the podium if super strategy from Brawn combined with his driving skills click

more interesting if it will rain tomorrow as grid positions dont mean a thing under rainy conditions

Everybody knows who the RAINMASTER is !!!

shravan316 · 24th October 2004, 01:45

What a qualifiying round!! Awesome stuff, and the whole atmosphere in the grand stands was simply awesome when Rubino took pole!
And yeah its gonna be one helluva race tommorrow

Hatari · 24th October 2004, 20:27

its raining in sao paulo
watch out for the ferraris and saubers..

this is 1 scenario where i like seeing schumi blast his way thru the pack..
wud have loved it even more if he had been on the michelins.. which are much slower in those conditions..

shud be an exciting end to the season..

Deeps · 24th October 2004, 23:37

This year is by far Rubens' best chance of victory. If this GP had not been at the beginning of the season or anywhere b'fore the drivers championship, i doubt very much that Rubens' would have been the leading ferrari.

zen · 25th October 2004, 03:49

Pretty good end to the 2004 season. At least Rubens finished this time.. and that too on the podium. Maybe next year he may have a chance!

As if the race wasn't exciting enough, the the commentary for the first 21 laps was in chinese! Was hilarious listening to them going "ohhhhhhhhhhhh" on every overtaking movie/slide.

This has been a great season with the emergence of BAR and Renault as strong players and hopefully they will be competing for the top step of the podium next season more regularly too. Can't wait for March 6, '05!
