But with Schumi..how many races has he competed in...I think it would be alot more the Senna or Prost.

Also his time in F1 will be comeing to a close soon he is what 35-36 now he shorley can't be going for to much longer.

[Rex]

Public are still wondering if he keep racing 'till his contract expires in 2006. You never know, you never read what's on Schumi's heart.

It's unpredictable the new comer JPM will be *soften* the path of chance of getting the constructors' title next season. The main problem for McLaren should to be solved namely their reliability that has been disturbing over the years. It might be they has solved it, I'm not quite sure yet. On the other hand, their technology is pretty good, I would say they're developing this season of MP4-19 engines with twin clutch technology. Seeing the progress in last two rounds before, this kind of gearbox still having trouble, and not known yet detailed why does McLaren of having on it.

The certain thing is McLaren technology supposed to be commendable due to step forward of its development.

The journey is still long way to go 'till the final of season, you'd better to watch the race, the atmosphere, the *intriques* on the track, and so on at tremendous Sakhir this weekend

heheheh sure he will but .... other season .. heheheh

[MookyRookie]

another Schumacher win, another or 2nd podium place for Button, 2nd double victory for Ferrari in 3rd race, looks like a formula extremly boring this year, Montoya lost his point with gear problems, Alonso, Sato were great... of course its a nice circut in Bahrain somewhere in the dessert....
who can stop Ferrari? McLaren was shit, for a team with 1000 employee and a budget of 300 mil. they should be ahead of teams like BAR and Renault....
the new one engine per weekend hurts most for McLaren Bridgestone has improved a lot since last season....
Next race in 3 weeks in Imola i guess....!!!

[Rex]

Toast for 73rd career win.

Rubinho has paid his *failure* at Sepang by putting himself in 2nd this Sakhir. Button and B.A.R Honda are now becoming slightly contender for constructor, if they keeps consistently 'till the final of season, sorry I have to say to both Williams and McLaren.

McLaren, as I said above..their displays have had enough to say it..an engine failure once again...one engine per weekend's rule has been punishing irreliability engines...Williams..no more words except there's nothing change yet from their displays rather than their radical front-nose...

Rex next game is in Imola right ?

[~Biski Biskit~]

When Schumi retires, Trulli will be the best forumla one driver around and hopefully he replaces Schumi at Ferrari because with the type of car he has he has done v. well this and last season.

Don't expect too much on Jaguar this season. Webber is a good driver, highly motivated, but the cars couldn't provide *the tough package* yet to compete the others. If he would have moved to Williams, he could expect more...

The proof he had well-done qualifying is the point of himself should be counted.

[Boban]

Yeah hopefully he goes to McLaren he would be more of a chance of getting a Podium Finish
