Schu won the Hungarian GP with Rubens in second and Alonso third. What happened to Sato? I really hoped he would make the podium again, but oh no he just slipped down the field :depress:

Whenever Rubinho finishes 2nd, it feels just like a grand prix win to me. So congrats Rubinho!

Schumacher & Ferrari are simply unstoppable. In fact, they are downright scary - everything is working right for them.

Ciao,
Tim

Button and Sato are almost as good as Schumi. Fisichella is levels below.

:dielaugh: :frustrat: :dielaugh: look at these stats:
when Sato was fisichella teamate: fisi outscored him 7 point to 2 and outqualified sato 12 to 5
when button was his team mate in 2001: fisi outscored him 8 to 2 and outqualified him 11 to 6
and in 2000: fisi outscored him 18 to 12 and outqualified him 12 to 5
and another top rated driver R.Schumacer: fisi out scored him 20 to 13 and outqualified him 10 to 7

I agree Button is possibly the best driver after The King... but... Sato??? He's simply terrible!! He just can't handle pressure, and always ends up crashing! He scored 18 points when Button scored 65 in the same car!

Sato ---> :thumbsdo:

a wet but exciting Qualifing! Trulli,Coulthard and alonso all got lucky because they were able to go out on intermediates,great laps by Schumacher and Fisichella who got the worst of the conditions but still posted great times!

 

[Fabio]

I am so angry for Rubinho as he didn't need to go into the bus stop so deep,and that mistake certainly cost him pole at the time.

And then when Schumi came out he was simply awesome - but unlike Barrichello was too cautious through the Bus Stop. :cry2:

Although the forecast is dry for tomorrow I am hoping for rain and a good race with the other rain masters Panis (usually) and Fisichella fighting (behind the Ferrari's ).

Wow exciting and qualifying in the same sentence! Unfortunately I missed it today as l was in a lecture :depress:

I think that Schu is bound to get the title tomorrow and it would def be great for him to do it at Spa.

 

[Frisko]

They say the race is not going to be wet. It looks like another parade for Schumi and Rubens. I think they're going to try and let Barrichello win so Schumi can win the title in Monza. If the Brazilian can manage to keep up!

 

[Pani]

Michelin suxx when it's raining!!

 

[Interforeva]

Well Schu did it, he got his 7th title today at Spa. He didn't win the race but who cares, he is still the champion!

So congrats to Schu, he is a truely great F1 driver :star:

I can't believe that Ferrari finished 1-2 in Monza!

 

[Interforeva]

It was a brilliant one-two considering what happened during the race. I was amazed they recovered so well. It was great to see Rubens take a win :star:

 

[Frisko]

I thought it was a shame that Schumi and Rubens didn't fight at all, but then again that's the way things go in F1 nowadays, after the pitstops it's all over.

With both championships secured I was hoping to see some fighting... I think Schumi could have won it easily if he wanted to.

 

[Pani]

Villeneuve will replace Trulli for the last 3 races.

 

[Frisko]

Yeah, that sucks. Both Briatore and Trulli proved to be very unprofessional. They couldn't even manage to shut up and do their jobs until the end of the season. I bet they're so happy at BAR, now they have a great chance to get 2nd place in the constructors championship.

 

[Interforeva]

I was surprised that they couldn't hold it together for the last few races but I guess there is a lot of bad blood there. It is kinda sad that the Trulli situation ended this way. Vill has signed for Sauber next season but I guess it would be good for him to race with Renault and get back in a F1 car.

 

[Pani]

As it was epected,Trully will be a Toyota driver next year!!!

 

[Frisko]

Gosh Italian drivers are so dumb! Trulli and Fisichella have been around forever, but they never drove a decent car. I think they have great potential but they just made too many wrong choices in their careers.

Agree.Especially for Fisichella.
