Shit, shit, shit, shit, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
As typical race as any this season. Fernando getting most of it all, Kimi good but with not the perfect car, Montoya very unfortunate, McLaren fast but not very stable and certainly “charmed” with bad luck, Fisico promising but in the end nothing worth mentioning, Ferrari horrible as in the days before Schumacher.
Interesting season nonetheless, much more exciting then previous ones.
Season 2006
What to expect?
Before this season, McLaren was huge favourite (after winter testing) to win all and now has nothing. Hence I expect nothing and everything. I’m looking forward to new proposed way of qualification, which looks to be more interesting than the actual race. I’m gonna jump on any chance to visit any F1 track again. I’m hoping that Mercedes will develop V8 engine that will not have 40% failure rate.
Wild guesses: Ferrari will not be back in the title race next season. Last season of Michael Schumacher. Renault will fall back behind. Williams should be back in the title race, maybe being the best – only if they finally make a good chassis. Red Bull will stay in the middle, Honda will be on par with Renault and McLaren.
With the F1 season over its time to move on. Will the A1 GP season be as exciting? All the drivers in the same cars! Probably be a damp squib but lets wait and see…
A1GP…I watched part of one race, but that is not enough to really figure it out. To properly follow racing you need to know the drivers, rules, how cars behave on particular tracks and thus trying to guess the strategy used etc.
And the thing that will mostly get you hooked is good crowd. I started watching F1 with a bunch of friends, fans of several different teams. You can imagine how it looked like back in the days when Mika drove and the feud between Ferrari and McLaren. Man, I miss those days…
