In my case, rarely, I get hurt easily, especially when no-one replies to emails :cry:
Kappy did send me a pic once, when we were discussing the confluence of certain rivers ( do not ask why !), and the pic contained an image of his wife.
He has been carrying a loaded firearm since, and cocks it every time he hears an aussie accent within 25kms of his sweet lady. :cry:

usually 2 rivalling each other, til one establishes a points break over the other, then the one lower in the points acts as rear gunner. If Barrichello had been given free reign the Manchamp last year could have looked a lot different

There is an alternative, and it worked for Ferrari for five years in a row

Would the Ferrari/Bridgestone have suddenly become competitive :?: I doubt it.

on two occasions to my albeit somewhat "fonged" memory at this hour of the night, if Barra had been given equal machinery instead of Ferrari desperately throwing any "quickfix" they could think of at Schueys car and giving the suss bits to Barra, they would have scored a lot more points in the Manchamp. The Bridgestones (imho) were far less of a problem than the F2005 8)

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Having Bridgestone to themselves was a key element in Ferrari's failure in 2005 :cry: .

It was also a key element in Ferrari's success in 2000-04, :D so I guess I can't complain.

I can but quote JV, "why are they using the 2004 chassis?" to test for 2006 ?

May i interrupt to answer that..thanks..

F2005 was crap,but was realised on at the end of the season.The chassis was bad for a single tyre rule apart from some aero inefficiency.It just ate up the tyres.But also Bridgestone got it wrong in their calculation or whatever.I would say it was 50:50

Now for testing on F2004..its only cos the tyre change rule is back & Ferrari is taking a big risk by going a year back & using it as a base for 2006.Lets c how it turns up.

IMHO 8)
