Round of Italy (JD leads!)

Post by Bundy » Tue Sep 05, 2006 5:20 pm

Thought I would get us started seeing as we have started discussing it in other threads;

Winner : Michael Schumacher - With Massa's help
Second : Felipe Massa - Most improved in the field this year
Third : Fernando Alonso - Still 8 points up
Fourth : Giancarlo Fisichella - Looking forward to 2007
Fifth : Nick Heidfeld - Although not his best finish of the year will be his best drive
Sixth : David Coulthard - By a chins width
Seventh : Kimi Raikkonen - Why would FA want to drive this piece of crap?
Eighth : Rubens Barrichello - No BBQ for me thanks

Pole : Michael Schumacher
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.......


I'm no ordinary idiot. I'm an F1 idiot!!!

:maths: :maths: So Julien, I take it the small "f" ferrari means the #2 driver? the guy with the black camera?? and you think the evil M.S. will stand by for being made to cool his heels while his junior gets serviced and hence losing two valuable points AGAIN??!! :drink:
NOT BLOODY LIKELY I should say.

but while I'm on that subject. ... I'm back at work and have less time these days, but howcome all the conspiracy theorists were silent on the fact that not only did Mikey wait his turn patiently, he was actually gracious to and appeared to take genuine pleasure in his mate's first win?

I'm amused at what would have been the response had he NOT done these things. I mean, after all, even during the race the commentators were wondering about "team orders" and whether or not the Massa would have to bow to the Massa in the end. Oh well, it's history now and MS is never remembered for anything positive, is he... :burnout:

I believe that Michael will actually win, but once again I'm not picking him because the curse seems to be really working. Every race I pick FA and every race he contrives, somehow, to not win... so here goes
:1st: Fernando -- see above
:2nd: Michael
:3rd: Felipe (see, I gave him a capital "F")

4: Kimi (tho' plainly I am falling into emotionalism... and just hoping to see a glimpse of the old ferocity. I mean, after all, last year, Monty got the top step, didn't he?
5: Pedro deLa Rosa (I think there may be something to him)
6: Fisichella (because, he IS driving a Renault, after all)
7: Jensen (because I would like to see Honda skunk Toyota)
8: Rubens (ditto)

pole: Michael, naturally

I see people picking Kubica (but I don't think the circuit favors him)
I know why Julien picks Webbo (but Sir Frank must be using 1989 Cossies to save money or something)
Klien? Klien? I can only scratch me head, Julien!
D.C. not until next year I'm afraid.

so, ta for now :cheers:

I have gone for Massa for pole, on the basis that his teammate said he coudn't match him at the last start.
All this benevolence from michael is a pointer, methinks. :wink:
