Grand Prix-F1

[kuttakumar]

Canadian Grand Prix is knocking at the door. Never relized that in this World Cup season.

I think it will be a Ferrari domination this time. They had performed well last time.

Don't mark off Renault, though.

A little aside here: what happened to McLaren this season? They've gone from blindingly fast last year to surprisingly slow. At least they've improved reliability a bit . I'm a bit afraid for Alonso next year - maybe he'll be like Button and reneg on his contract .

 

[m_vaughan]

Alonso is not stupid. I am sure the future of Mclaren is better than that of Renault.

 

[Sureshot]

Well apparently the new Renault owner doesn't like motorsport.

Could explain alot.

 

[Maxkarter]

Yes, Renault might not be in F1 in say 3 years for now, so its a good move in that sense, and if Flavio leaves, Renault will be slow, so a move to McLaren is the sensible choice for the long run.

 

[Sureshot]

Flavio is one of the best on the F1 circuit imo, always backs his drivers.

[m_vaughan]

Ferrari 1,2 damn!!!
I hope Alonso can atleast come second now!

 

[Sureshot]

Nah, you can see who cautious Michelin are with the tyres.

Ferrari 1-2 tomorrow, barring crashes obviously.

 

[taimurasad]

Ferrari 1,2 damn!!!
I hope Alonso can atleast come second now!

& I hope he crashes out tomorrow . Schumi :hpraise badly needs these 10 points!

 

[kuttakumar]

Rubens in 4th.:happy
Come on Rubens;Its time for you to lead Honda to their first victory.

As for the race itself Id go with an Alonso or a Schumacher win.

No way it will be Rubens or Jenson.
And we will not see a single Renault in the podium today . This is my curse .

 

[Maxkarter]

Jenson will never win a race with Honda, he may never even win a race in his F1 career (unlikely I know) I'm not sure of the exact numbers but he has made about 100 race starts and never won a race, is it going to change soon? Nah!

Rubens just doesn't mix that well with the Honda and it will take a lot to get him to even come close to winning a race with that car.

Lets see a Ferrari win boys!
