2 Rubens Barrichello Ferrari 01:24.482
3 Juan Pablo Montoya Williams 01:24.998
4 Jenson Button BAR 01:24.998
5 Fernando Alonso Renault 01:25.699
6 Mark Webber Jaguar 01:25.805

17 Zsolt Baumgartner Minardi 01:30.681
18 Gianmaria Bruni Minardi

I think that ferrari should win this race, especially if Barrichello can keep himself between Schu and Montoya.

Pretty much what i expected,Bar are continuing there fast pace from Testing But dont be suprised if there engines blow up! :wink: Schumacher has the race in the bag unless he breaks down and i cant see that!

**Ziyad** · 06 Mar 04, 20:09

Just rememeber 4-4-04 the race will take place in Bahrain for the first time in the middle east...thats about all i know about F1 but i am sure by that time i will know more

No Björn Widheim for Jaguar?!

**Hammoudi** · 07 Mar 04, 02:36

F1 hasn't been the same since the magnificent Ayrton Senna passed away. It really lost its magic for me although i still follow it. Now i like Juan Pablo Montoya, he's aggressive and is willing to stick it to Michael Schumacher. I can't stand this guy, for some reason he reminds me of AC milan and ManU. Maybe it's the red color or what but i can't stand him!!!

**Handoyo** · 07 Mar 04, 07:59

Hamed: Other than the red colour, it's probably because the Agnelli family owns Juventus and Fiat. And Fiat owns Ferarri or something like that. Well I don't really watch F-1 although my dad is a real avid fan of the sport.

**Gismo** · 07 Mar 04, 13:00

No Danish Kiesa!!?!?! :evil:

Anyways Ferrari screwed everyone and took gold and silver. All I can say is: Forza Williams!!!

**Interforeva** · 07 Mar 04, 15:20

I like Ferrari, so I was happy they got a one - two. I don't mind Montoya, he is a good driver and I like his attitude, but I can't stand Raikkonen and was so happy when his engine blew up :grin:

**Miki** · 07 Mar 04, 15:36

Well, i am just happy that Barichello got the 2nd place. As some of you know, Rubinho is my favorite driver - i like Ferrari partially, but they aren't my top team. As long as Rubinho gets the podium spots, i'll be glad.

Ciao,
Tim

what a Boring race! The Ferrari's have about 1 second advantage a lap over Alonso and about 2 seconds over everybody else,But this might change in hot weather,if it doesnt its going to be a long boring season!

**Vic** · 07 Mar 04, 23:36

I am a bit disapointed with Montoya. That start was disastrous, He will do better in a fortnights time.

FORZA MONTOYA!!

Wow!!! I really didn't know that. Now it all make sense. After Senna's death there were lots of conspiracy theories that he was killed because some parts of his car were doctored with. They even re-opened the case i think few years ago to investigate. He was one of the best and baldest drivers F1 has ever seen. When he was around Schumacher used to be spanked like a baby, and after him he started braking records and winning unrivaled. I won't be shocked if Agnelli family had something to do with ayrton senna's death.

i was at the Grand Prix all weekend and wow what a great weekend for Ferrari! It was awesome just being there but being a Ferrari supporter and watching them finish 1-2 in the way they did was amazing! can't wait for the next GP in Malaysia.

Yeah, I heard that. I thought they might hold it in lebanon or Dubai but not Bahrain. I used to live 2 hour dirve from there so i could've seen the race.

They hold here in Canada in Montreal but the prices are crazy because every single person there wants to go, even non F1 fans. They just go there because it's like a glamour and to go meet famous people.

**Ziyad** · 08 Mar 04, 21:32

Thanx for the info guys...I guess after Malaysia its going to be Bahrain.I hope it goes great there since they are doing it for the first time

**Interforeva** · 21 Mar 04, 12:21

I watched this race and enjoyed it, it seems that Williams will def be competitive with Ferrari this year but Mclaren have a long way to go. I was glad for Button with his first podium, shame that Sato blew up near the end. Also what happened to the Renaults, they just kinda faded near the end when it seemed they were moving through the field well and were gonna challenge.

Oh and 1,2,3 were Schu, Montoya and Button.

**Ziyad** · 02 Apr 04, 07:36

Today the qualifiers begin in Bahrain

I am soooo excited...I am not into F1 but since its in Bahrain..The sad part is that i am not there either so i will have to settle for watching it on tv
