2001 - a DREAM lineup!

[crash]

Someone Posted a dream calender before, now I would like to present 'the dream 2001 line-up,' based on entertainment, realism, and my own personnal opinion.

This is the way F1 would be if i got my way
----------------

FERRARI
No. 1 Driver: Jean Alesi
No. 2 Driver: Rubens Barrichello

Reason: Jean Alesi would be brilliant in a Ferrari, and Rubinho is a nice bloke and deserves a decent car. He'd do better without TGF as team-mate.
----------------

MCLAREN
=No. 1 Driver: Mika Hakkinen
=No. 1 Driver: Alexander Wurz

Reason: Well Mika has been at the team since 1993, so he may as well stay. Also, Wurz is better than you think, and would probably win a couple of races
----------------

WILLIAMS
No. 1 Driver: Jacques Villeneuve
No. 2 Driver: Nick Heidfeld

Reason: Nick is fast, and Jacques needs a decent car! he would be world champion if he had a fast car, instead of the BAR.
----------------

BENETTON
=No. 1 Driver: Jarno Trulli
=No. 1 Driver: Jenson Button

Reason: The boy button is not fond of Trulli, and Trulli is not exactly to keen on Button. Jenson even called Jarno an idiot. Think of the rivalry you'd get out of this!
----------------

BAR
No. 1 Driver: Olivier Panis
No. 2 Driver: Bruno Junquira

Reason: An expereinced driver, in the same team as a young gun. Interesting.
----------------

JORDAN
=No. 1 Driver: Mark Webber
=No. 1 Driver: H-H Frentzen

Reason: Mark Webber is fast, Heinz steady and not likely to smash the car.
----------------

ARROWS
No 1. Driver: Pedro De La Rosa
No 2. Driver: Kenny Brack (From CART)

Reason: Pedro is quick, Kenny is the CART rookie of the year, former Indy 500 winner and was Arrows test driver in 1996, so we know he can drive in an F1 car.
----------------

SAUBER
No 1. Driver: Luca Badoer
No 2. Driver: Kimi Raikkonen

Reason: Luca brings cash and experience, Kimi would give speed and youth
----------------

JAGUAR
=No. 1 Driver: Ralf Schumacher
=No. 1 Driver: Eddie Irvine

Reason: There line-up in 2000 was a joke. This is better(?)
----------------

MINARDI (with 2000 Mercedes engines!!!)
No. 1 Driver: Michael Schumacher
No. 2 Driver: Pedro Diniz
No. 3 Driver: Gaston Mazzacane
No. 4 Driver: Marc Gene

Reason: I'd love to see Minardi win (You know, I'd have to admit I'm a bit of a fan!), and to do that they'd need
TGF and Mercedes Engines. The only problem is they'd need three other rich drivers to pay for them!! Forza Minardi!
----------------

PROST
=No. 1 Driver: Jos Verstappen
=No. 1 Driver: Alain Prost

Reasoon: They have had a tough time in F1. If ALain Prost got behind the wheel instead of behind the pitwall, perhaps they'd do alright. Oh and I'd shove Jos in there for good measure.
----------------


Well, there you go! My personnal ideal lineup. I'd love to know what you all think. Also, what is your ideal lineup?

HAVE A MEGA DAY!

[LYM]

I 'll choose 5 teams and 10 drivers. All given equal treatment by the management:

1) Ferrari : Mika & Fisichella
2) McLaren : TGF and JV
3) BMW: DC & Ralf
4) Jaguar: Irvine & Button
5) Benetton: Frentzen & Montoya

[RussianFriend]

Ferrary
1. Jacques Villeneuve (JV should try to win for Ferrary the titul his father didn't win)
2. Rubens Barricello (Rubinio is excelent Ferrary driver)

Mclaren

1. Mika Salo (Try another finnish guy)
2. Nick Heidfeild (Merc's child)

Williams

1. Ralph Schumacher
2. Jenson Button

The better thing is an enemy of the good one.

Benneton

1. Jarno Trully
2. J-C Fisicella

Jordan

1. Ricardo Zonta
2. H-H Frenzen

Jaguar

1. Eddie Irvine
2. Bruno Janquera

Sauber
1. D. Coulhard
2. P-P Diniz

BAR

1. Montoya
2. Zanardi (CART-Zoo show in F1)

Arrows

1. Jos Verstappen
2. Pedro De la Rosa

Minardi

1. Mika Hakkinen
2. A.Menning (I'm not sure I wrote his name correctly. This guy has tested BAR this year. He won a race in F 3000 for Russian team Lukoil Ardenn)

Prost

1. Michael Schumacher (Prost loves him, besides only TGF could to place a order in Prost-team)
2. Jean Alesi

[kuchi]

Well, this is my dream 2001 lineup.

Ferrari
1. Jarno Trulli(just to have a local guy with talent)
2. Rubens Barichelo(He deserves some good credit)

McLaren
1. JV(now he would have the car...)
2. Button(try succes here huh)

Williams
1. Juan Montoya(you don´t need to dream to see him win)
2. Bruno Junqueira(don´t ask why, because I don´t know)

Jordan
1. Ralph Shumacher(back to the old days)
2. Michael Shumacher(would he give his brother a chance to be the #1?)

BAR
1. Olivier Panis(he can give the team some goos results)
2. Jean Alesi(not a goos car but a "paisano" to work with)

Bennetton
1. Fisi(well, he´s already there so why not giving im the chance)
2. Mazzacane(I just want to see he block. but with a good car)

for the other teams, I think I will let them pick their own drivers.

[angst]

Dream line-up for 2001....Hmmmmm
Well.....
Reynard/Lola-Honda Frentzen, Villeneuve, Panis, Trulli, Alonso, Mazzacane
Reynard/Lola-BMW Montoya, Ralf Schumacher
Reynard/Lola-Ferrari TGF, Barrichello, Heidfeld, Diniz, Alesi, Gene
Reynard/Lola-Mercedes Hakkinen, Coulthard
Reynard/Lola-AMT Verstappen, de la Rosa
Reynard/Lola-Renault Fisischela, Button

The Reynard/Lola would be allowed until the teams had built their own CART spec chassis to mate with their F1 engines. Alonso and Mazzacane may, of course, have Supertech engines and not the (Mugen)Hondas.

That ought to do it, I think.

[angst]

Replace Alonso with Takagi as Telefonica is gone....

[freud]

McLaren Mercedes : Hakkinen & Montoya

Ferrari : Villeneuve & M. Schumacher

Williams BMW : Trulli & Fisichella

Jordan Honda : Coulthard & Barrichello

BAR Honda : Alesi & R. Schumacher

Distribute the rest in remaining teams and let hell break loose...

[RussianFriend]

Angst!!!

I offer you very simple decision: just send all F1 drivers and teams to CART for one year and all CART drivers and teams to F1.

[tazzoid]

"BENETTON
=No. 1 Driver: Jarno Trulli
=No. 1 Driver: Jenson Button

Reason: The boy button is not fond of Trulli, and Trulli is not exactly to keen on Button. Jenson even called Jarno an idiot. Think of the rivalry you'd get out of this!"

JARNO called JENSON an idiot! Jenson's far too cultured to do that. Besides, he didn't really say "Jenson is an idiot." He just said he was driving like an idiot. No hard feelings or anything, it obviously came from jealousy! JUST JOKING - before anyone bites my head off!

[WilliamsBMWF1]

Williams BMW Micheal Schumacher and Juan Montoya

Mclaren Mercedes Heinz Harald Frentzen and Ralf Schumacher

Ferrari Jarno Trulli and Gaincarlo Fissichella

Jordan Eddie Irvine Jenson and Button

Sauber Rubens Barrichello and David Coulthard

Jaguar Mika Hakkinen and Nick Heidfeld

The rest dont really excite me much..

[angst]

RussianFriend, that isn't a bad idea you know. That'd do nicely.

Freud, I like your style!

This line-up would put the four best drivers in the world currently IMHO in the four best cars. That I would love to see... without team orders!
