Were I Alonso, I would be working my butt off too. To hold and hopefully increase the points margin would be such motivation, they would have to physically drag me from the vehicle

( or should that be fisically? ) Droll I know, anything To put a smile back on your posts

Interesting that Renault didn't do qualifying runs this time. I guess they did the last time they were there.

If Button in the BARBBQ can do that time, Alonso will get pole in Spain with a 1:13.222

Quite possibly, RV, but what game is Williams playing

The things are not that slow, so what are they doing.

I bought a new mouse

Dont the BAR enjoy the BBQ parties at testing

I agree,JV,Alonso will tear apart the record at Imola.But i'm just wondering if his engine will last

seeing Fisi problems.
or does prefrential treatment happen in every team

apart from the reds,as v r given to believe??

Toyota looking good again,though they have traditionally not done well in Imola.

Mclaren n Williams need to up their game too,which will make this season a thrill to watch.

I was talking about Spain. Imola, I don't think they will break records but he'll be on pole.
I am a tad worried about his engine and all those who finished in Bahrain actually.
Preferential treatement, you enjoy starting rumours it seems, when something obvious happens then we can discuss

Doesnt that make it more interesting

I made that point cos i read somewhere that Ferrari had a spare gearbox n was not given to Rubens and Y always Rubens car breaks down

Just wondering ,cos most of the guys in Ferrai have come from Benetton/Renault,did they learn something which already existed there

They may well have, but for the fact that the guys that taught schuey moved to ferrari

Most of them did,Flavio didnt

Its nice to have a doubt or like JV said,start a rumour, about the leaders when your fav.team isnt winning

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:41 pm

Nah, that is sour grapes, Kapel

Kapel · Post by **Kapel** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:52 pm

Well well... Julian,We'll just have to wait n see.If Alonso is still leading from Fisi by Monaco,would just like to see the way Flavio shield his blue eyed guy.

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:57 pm

Hmm, possibly, but were I Flavio, I would be too busy with my domestic arrangements to worry.

But, perhaps thats where he is getting his orders regarding his " blue eyed boy"
