i understand F1 is not as exciting as before due to new safety regulations and such.
im calling VERTiG0 out because he mocked me and then calls me clueless. from my understanding, he lost interest in F1 because schumi wins a lot so races become predictable. i disagree with that because last year and in the current season, there has been interesting races.
looking at the current standings, schumi and alonso are in an intense battle for the championship.
this guy implies that i shouldnt even bother watching races because schumi is gonna win. |

FIA needs to bring back the Gruppe-B rally class. There were basically no restrictions on anything. It was an era which produced a car capable of doing 0-60mph in 2.1 seconds. ON GRAVEL.

Portuguese national champion Joaquim Santos crested a rise to find the road blocked with spectators crowding to see the fastest cars come through. Trying to stop, he lost control of his RS200 and plunged into the crowd. Thirty-one people were injured and four were killed. All the top teams immediately pulled out of the rally and Group B was placed in jeopardy. |

| Schumi wins the Italy Grand Prix @ Monza...the sickest and toughest race track in the F1 Grand Prix if you'd ask me ... props to the man who has won the most races in the history of F1. Schumi all the way!! |

Yeah, stupid ing spectators ruining it for the rest of us. I remember watching some movie on google called "race to the clouds" or something, and the camera was inside the rally car as some driver was going up pikes peak, and all you'd see is spectators diving out of the way. |

What?? That's shocking, and was totally not expecting that.
I don't watch it that much, but from what I see it's interesting.
EDIT : I don't know what it more entertaining the F1 or This argument betwen Chinaboy & Cale.
LOL. |

It's sad to see Schumacher retire..but you know what they say, all good things come to an end.
Did any notice the half-hearted hug with Luca Montezemolo. Its almost as if Schumacher hugged just for formalities sake. Now the hug with Jean Todt was from the heart. Politics I tell ya! :)
Who's the replacement? Kimi??? ;) |
