Will Red Bull add Ferrari in their name? Didn't know. William Cosworth then?

Sorry for bringing up this old topic.

But today Ferrari got the two front positions in the first race for the season. It´s in Bahrain. Michael Schumacher took Pole Position, next to him is the new Ferrari driver Felipe Massa.

It´s cool that Ferrari got back so quick from the last season, where they only won one race, a race with 6 cars starting. Okey, the race itself haven´t been yet, but it´s good anyway

As a Schumi fan from 97 i just hope, that this year will be a bit better

Well, it´s good that the sport got a good fight last year, between Kimi and Alonso, but I would be even happier if this year the fight would be between Felipe Massa and Michael Schumacher. Though, I dont think so

I'm glad that there is still a Dutch guy in F1

. To bad I can't see the race live tomorrow, I've got to be at a meeting for my vacation in the summer.

Do you mean Christjan Albers? He drives for a bad team

But he is a good driver. We have seen that from DTM, where Mattias Ekström is good too

XeryusTC · Post by **XeryusTC** » 11 Mar 2006 23:10

Christijan is a good driver but I don't like that he is always complaining about the car or something, he never says something human like but it is always about the race circumstances or how professional the team should be. Robert (don't know his last name) was more fun but he wasn't such a good driver

.
And offcourse I hope that Kimi gets his revenge on Alonso this season, partly because the bad luck he had last season and partly because I don't like Renault

.

Today he crashed, and will start the race tomorrow in last position

XeryusTC · Post by **XeryusTC** » 11 Mar 2006 23:18

I saw that he didn't had a time, but he finished second while he started from the last 3 before so it isn't undoable.

Post by **Chrill** » 11 Mar 2006 23:33

Haven´t said it is. But he needs luck, and it looks like McLaren still have problems keeping the car in one piece. Same happened many times last year too for Kimi. He really have bad luck

XeryusTC · Post by **XeryusTC** » 12 Mar 2006 00:30

He had a lot of bad luck last season, mostly because McLaren's engineers screwed up, hopefully it gets better this season. I really hope he wins (or another non-Renault driver).

what ever this season brings, I really hope that it is not just one team driving a way in the front, like Ferrari used to do the last couple of years, except 2005.

Let's hope that it stay a bit more of a race and let some different people win this year.

I think F1 will be better this season. They've got rid of the stupid rules and brought back the old qualifying system and tyre changes. I've got high hopes for Button today, he's starting in 3rd.

Fernando Alonso won today!

The race was in Bahrain, at Sakhir.

Top 10:
1. Fernando Alonso, Renault - 10p
2. Michael Schumacher, Ferrari - 8p
3. Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren - 6p
4. Jenson Button, Honda - 5p
5. Juan Pablo Montoya, McLaren - 4p
6. Mark Webber, Williams - 3p
7. Nico Rosberg, Williams - 2p
8. Christian Klein, Red Bull - 1p
9. Felipe Massa, Ferrari - 0p
10. David Coulthard, Red Bull - 0p

Kimi started in position 22.
Nico Rosberg came in seventh place, also performing great.

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa got a spin, but came ninth in place anyway

The Irish · Post by **The Irish** » 12 Mar 2006 14:26

Yeah, Massas spin wouldn't have been too bad. But they f****d up the stop at the box afterwards quite badly, he lost nearly a minute there. That's a lot at the beginning of the race when everyone is still close together.

Great race I thought. Looks like this year will be better again than last year.

It's nice to see MS back on form... Even if not many people like him I think it just proves how much he wants to race that he stuck with F1 even after a bad year.

Nico Rosberg - definite future champion, he raced awesome today.

Either way, Alonso is again the man to beat.

Too bad I couldn't see the first race of the season, I had a meeting to go too. I'll see if I can download the race somewhere.

Yeah. In a few years I guess it all will be between Alonso, Kimi, Nico Rosbeg and Jenson Button. I think Rosberg will actually win a race this year already. Thinking of him driving more then a second faster then Schumi and Alonso. Finish seventh after a crashed nose in the beginning. Watch out for him!
