MONACO GP: Ferrari 1-2, Irv 3rd and what about DC!!

Tristan · 27 May 2001, 13:57 (Ref:97254)

TGF is still EASILY the best driver in the world.

What happened to DC though?? "brain fade"???

Tristan · 27 May 2001, 14:04 (Ref:97261)

DC: "technical problem, I guess the engine just switched off".

What happened to the anti-stall???

We have been treated to two great come from behind and into the points by DC. I don't have favorite drivers, just favorite drives and he's made two of them. Enrico may have been slow and holding DC up but for many laps he drove a great race while under extreme pressure. These two drivers had the best drives of the race. From what we saw on TV the other drivers only had pressure from within their own helmets. DC, maybe needs to switch off the L-C!

Trsitan, how you come to the conclusion that TGF is easily the best driver in the world off the back of a race where his two main rivals were left stranded with car troubles, is beyond me.

Any driver on the grid today would have won had they been in TGF's position.

Alesi 6th in the Prost...I think that this would be the drive of the race if it weren't for Irv's 3rd.

Unfortunately, this means that Minardi will get the wooden spoon.

What happened to David had nothing to do with "his brain fading" .LQQK again at his last flying lap..Launch control is a royal pain in the rear end..Forget it McLaren...It's not working.

Nuvolari · 28 May 2001, 07:14 (Ref:97646)

Leaving aside the naive notion that "any driver on the grid today would have won had they been in TGF's position," Michael was handed another gift.

McLaren is, as we say in the States, 'snakebit' this season.

The cruel fortunes of racing, eh?

Has anybody heard RB's latest excuse for being serlow???

Something to do with his foot/leg/brain or whatever. Still can't see why Ferrari want to keep him. Oh, wait a minute, maybe its because he poses absolutely no threat to MS.

grklein · 28 May 2001, 13:14 (Ref:97786)

I don't think DC made a great race (it was good, though). How many drivers has he overpassed? He finished in 5th because at least 10 cars didn't finish. And he could have overpassed Bernoldi if he'd had more balls.

Me neither. But I still have faith.

Nobody mentioned RB’s stunt on the last meters? Did anyone notice Jean Todt’s face just after the flag? I wonder what were those “merde” about...

Tristan · 28 May 2001, 14:37 (Ref:97834)

RB lost all feeling in his right foot due to the accelorator pedal vibrating. So, there you go. Sounds pretty valid to me!

JeremySmith · 30 May 2001, 05:25 (Ref:98642)

So Peter who would do a better job at Ferrari than Rubens..It's a serious question I am not trying to bait you..

He just can't match Mr Schumacher's pace during a race can he..He is quick during practice and qualifying yet when it comes to racing..What happens??

Red

Could you please explain what you meant by "Ruben's stunt" on the last few Meters of the race?

**Peter Mallett** · 30 May 2001, 06:00 (Ref:98649)

Seriously,

RB went to Ferrari stating that he would be given the chance to go for the championship. Some, but not I, believed him. I don't think he's any quicker than Irv was comparitively, indeed he usually makes the other cars around him look positively quick, which Irv never did.

Who else could do better?

Fifty percent of the drivers out there, who would take the job on knowing that they were not going to be allowed to beat TGF.

I bet most people don't agree with me on this do they Liz?

JeremySmith · 30 May 2001, 08:49 (Ref:98686)

But Peter....How many drivers are truly capable of beating Mr Schumacher on a regular basis..In all honesty?

Red · 30 May 2001, 09:01 (Ref:98694)

Jersound, Barrichello finishing 0.4 s behind Schumacher, sliding all over the track in Rascasse and Noghes. He was dangerously close to him and to the barriers. Okay, it was just a joke but this joke could spoil a perfect 1-2 and it seemed that Jean Todt was not exactly happy. Can’t see another reason after 16 points for Ferrari and 2 for McLaren.

JeremySmith · 30 May 2001, 09:08 (Ref:98695)

Thank you Red..I will watch the end of the race again...
