...the fact that it's taken this long for a thread to show up for this borefest of a race probably speaks volumes.

Michael with his 63rd pole. McLaren chose the wrong tire, so they got fucked (and will be fucked, since passing on this circuit seems to be impossible). And Sato and Button take up row two...be funny as hell if they crashed into each other, considering what's going on in that camp.

Speaking of which, Jacques Villeneuve has talked to David Richards about a possible return. Seems they've patched things up after last year, so he's now a possibility to replace Button, pending the tribunal. We might (will) see a boring race today, but at least we're right in the middle of the most exciting silly season ever.

GO ZONTA!

haha Sato > button !

thats amusing with whats been going on

 

[Shinobi]

Bleh...my boy Kimi done in by mechanical faliure again. If he didn't have bad luck, he'd have none at all.

 

[DSN2K]

Schumacher making a joke of everyone else today.... like normal.

 

[ZigZagZig]

This race is amazing boring. Arght.

 

[Phantom]

That was without doubt the worst race I have ever seen

 

[Solid]

I stopped watching when it was 15 laps remaining. This sport is getting so boring

 

[Shinobi]

Again, I'd blame the track...as someone put it, it's Monaco without the buildings (or the history, or the water lined with boats, or the pizzazz). Boring to look at, boring to race on. Would be fun to just drive on though, due to it's technical challenge.

This sport is getting so boring

Where you been?

Its been boring for the last 5 years.

 

[Shinobi]

Last year was anything BUT boring.

 

[Koshiro]

Last year was anything BUT boring.

You're thinking of 2002, if you're talking in seasons.

 

[Shinobi]

Nah, 2002 was another runaway season for Schumacher...2003 went right down to the wire, and had six or seven different GP winners to boot.

 

[Malakhov]

In other news, Villeneuve is talking with BAR Honda about replacing Button next season.

And yes, F1 is so boring now. How can it be entertainting when someone is totally dominating and won 12 out of 13 races so far?

 

[Shinobi]

Depends how you look at it. We'll probably never see someone dominant ANY sport the way Schumacher and Ferrari are doing at the moment. People always love to talk about the classic teams and players of the past in reverence, like Gretzky's Oilers, Jordan's Bulls, the Celtics that won like 9 straight titles, Manchester United's dominance in the 90's and so on. And few people ever called those runs boring.

The problem is that Michael is doing this on tracks that for the most part simply don't allow for passing outside the pits. That for me is the real issue.

Do I wish Michael was challenged more? Hell yeah. But it isn't the fault of him or Ferrari that they're so much better then everyone else. The field's gotta raise their game, simple as that.

Oh wiat, I just re-read your original post, I had read it as last year being boring. I do appologise.

 

[Shinobi]

Ah...no prob. Today's race was so boring it probably made you too tired to read properly.

 

[Koshiro]

Are you in UK? Our commentator James Allen summed it up nicely declaring Brawn's eating a banana as the most exciting part of the race.
