Do you think Ralf said something to the effect of: "Eat my dust (rubber, exhaust,etc.)"?

Hopefully Ralph will have this opportunity more often from now on!

I don't think Ralf appreciated the patronising comment made bt TGF after quals at Brazil when TGF said he was glad to have "his little one" beside him on the front row.
He said this week that he is NOT little, as he is taller and bigger than TGF. There is no love lost between these two.

I agree! I can't wait for the green at Imola...It's gonna be an awesome battle!

Yeah!! Two Schumachers side by side at turn 1, and Rubens right behind trying to decide who to punt.

BMW Williams Star Ralf Schumacher was confident that big Brother Michael wouldn't be giving him too much grief after he bumped the Ferrari driver back to fourth in the closing seconds of qualifying.

"You always say I'm the smaller one, but in fact I'm
a little bigger and heavier, so I think he's not coming too close to me to be honest," said Ralf after qualifying third on the grid.

"Even when we were eight tenths off the Ferraris yesterday, I just said straightaway "well, Ferraris tend to be quick here on Friday to get the crowds in on Saturday and Sunday.' My brother didn't like that, and he said 'you wait until tomorrow.'

Very interesting.Look for Michael to make the jump on Ralf and DC at the start.Schumy is not a happy camper at the moment.

The pre-race show is at 4:30 a.m. here,I was going to set up the tape, but now I'm gonna have to watch it live, this should be one of the great starts this year. Although I must say that this year has been more eventful than last, I think because the gaps between the teams are slowly narrowing. Can't wait for the morning

If Rubens hits Michael, he's toast!

guys again i say this..rubens is 1 of the worst starters. he usually tends to hit the driver who overtakes him in the first corner

Mr Senna,

I also share your exitement, it's a 12 midnight job here. I can't wait. Go DC - give it to emm.

So if TGF punts him off at turn one, Ralf is going to beat him up?

I think it's good for Ralf to be ahead of TGF - he's proving that he can be quicker than his brother, not to mention that the gap between Ferrari and Williams is pretty much non-existent now.

But who was the first to congratulate Ralfie after getting out of the car?? Blood is thicker after all.....

Ralf's Girl · 15 Apr 2001, 14:42 (Ref:80740)

I think that says it all.
