which way?

garagegirl · 16 Jul 2003, 09:12 (Ref:662603)

with the championship currently having a possible four ways to go, which way do you think it will take? personaly i think one of the williams guys, they're looking good this year, but at the same time i wouldnt be too surprised if micheal got it again either.

the daft bit about that is im acctually a kimi fan, so realisticly i want him to win it, but i reckon its more in favour of the williams team

Damon · 16 Jul 2003, 10:15 (Ref:662643)

Well Mclaren have messed up big time with time with the MP4/18 farce and I think that has lost Kimi the title. The Williams' are looking very good at the moment and if the momentum remains I see no reason why either of them couldn't win it. Then of cause there is Schu, he'll be helped by the fact the the Williams duo will be taking points off each other but to take advantage of this (and I didn't think I'd ever be saying this now, 12 months ago) Ferrari (or more to the point bridgestone) are going to have to make some serious steps forward in the very near future.

Great mind, surely, wasn't that 1 vote

Now there are two and it is 50%-50% !

I'm about to make it a 3 way tie!

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Jul 2003, 13:02 (Ref:662780)

I'm certain JPM will be way out front by the time Mr V and Sato San wake up to this one.

twig · 16 Jul 2003, 13:11 (Ref:662793)

well, with Ferrari with their Bridgestones on the way down, McLaren just being overly conservative, and Williams absolutely, unfortunately for me, just dominating.......i thought to myself today, as much as i hate to think about it or admit it, if Williams dont win a championship this year, they must have made some big mistake.

It's a bit early for that. It is looking good for them, but it has only been a couple of good races. Kimi could have won in Nurburgring and don't count Micheal out of it just yet (with his points lead!).

IMO it is looking good, because it isn't clear who will win. At all.

**Bononi** · 16 Jul 2003, 13:33 (Ref:662817)

Yeah, let it be this way up until the Japanese GP !

ASCII Man · 16 Jul 2003, 13:41 (Ref:662821)

I hope N°2, i fear N°3...

neilap · 16 Jul 2003, 13:45 (Ref:662824)

MS will need a couple of DNF's to realistically loose the title. Kimmi and RS are close but the way MS is driving they will still need a little more help. MS will win the title, IMO. I dont thing BS will stay in their current slump either, at least not with Ferrari. The rest of the teams may not get the better tires but I am sure Ferrari will.

climb · 16 Jul 2003, 13:50 (Ref:662830)

My money (if I had!) on MS.
Nowadays Williams are more competitive, but there being no hierarchy out there, JPM and RS risk to steal points to each other, and MS, as we saw at Magny cours, is excellent in optimizing the result of a race in which he's not the fastest.
Moreover, from september onwards, the weather will no more be so hot, and Bridgestone should catch up Michelin.

ralf fan · 16 Jul 2003, 19:14 (Ref:663179)

want ralf to win but i think Michael will be champions as Michael can nick podiums and wins even when his car is not competitive ,perfect example is Magny Cours .Williams are a shoe in for the constructors though

I agree with all that. (what did I just say? I'm not supposed to agree with you!

)

Go Ralf.

Damon · 16 Jul 2003, 20:10 (Ref:663246)

Notice how I didn't mention which Williams' driver RG

. (Actually, if truth be told, I can't bring myself to state who I think might get it

)

garagegirl · 16 Jul 2003, 20:26 (Ref:663266)

either williams driver would be good though!!

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Jul 2003, 20:59 (Ref:663301)

Well, they are both good.

beau · 16 Jul 2003, 22:02 (Ref:663364)

It has to be one of the schumacher bro's
I would like to see Ralf win it but i think Micheal will

Damon · 16 Jul 2003, 22:07 (Ref:663369)

where did all these ralf fans come from anyway?! You been hiding away in the word work or something? Fair play to Ralf's Girl, she's put up with our slagging off her man, with good humour, for quite some time, but after a couple of good races for Ralf the clan has miraculously grown. None of you support Man Utd by any chance?!

ralf fan · 17 Jul 2003, 09:13 (Ref:663668)

i am a man utd fan ,and have been supporting them for round 6 yrs
