    F1 has become more boring than a visit to your 90-year old grandma (no offense to any grandma's here) on a rainy sunday afternoon, thanks to mr. Shumacher.

    No, thanks to Ferrari. You're blaming Schumacher for being the best ? Well, i blame the others for being lousy drivers. That makes just as much sense as what you said.

    I don't care anymore what happens in F1, That one race where Barrichello hit the brakes, to let Schumacher pass him just before the finishline was the last drop for me. There isn't much exitement in the tables as it is, but when they start doing things like this, it becomes more than boring.

    My favorite driver: Michael Schumacher
    My favorite team: Ferrari

    But I do hope that M. Schumacher ends after this season. Why? Becouse when he wins this time he will have the most championship golds in the world in F1. In all time.

    I'm still trying to figure out what happened to my beloved McLaren team. Hakkinen and Coulthard used to give Ferrari a run for their money on a regular basis. Hakkinen retires, Coulthard forgets how to drive. *sigh* At least they won this year's opener and you have to love Raikkonen. That kid is going to be one of the best drivers the FIA has seen in a while.

    That's wat I mean: becouse of Schumacher's constant winning F1 has become totally boring, predictable and unexiting.

    I just LOVED the year when I was on 7th grade... our history teacher despite being a Finn was a huge Schumacher fan, and every time Häkkinen beat him, our class gloated the Nine Hells out of him, because we had our classes on Monday... :evil:

    Yep, Kimi Räikkönen is a good promise, too, and there is this other kid promise coming up, Nico (?) Rosberg... he's just 17 and the youngest person EVER to drive a F1 car. He's still in the F3 series, but he will be up in the F1 series in a few years.

    What can I say? We Finns bring up some of the best druivers in da world! :D

    Ferrari's fooling around is boring. In my opinion, the F1s would be much more fun if all drivers had exactly similar cars, down to the last bolt and... whatever those cars have. THEN we would see who's the best driver, eh?

    (Someone who never watches those things and does not particularily evn like them, but is prud of her countrymen anyway)

    Our prime minister is so into "facade" work, he spent more time on it then on the people. Under him, we have the famous Petronas Twins Towers, K.L. Towers, Multimedia Super Corridor, Commonwealth Games, Penang Bridge (3rd longest bridge in the world) and such. Then he spent our money to build a world class race track, managed to get the F1 tournament to make a stop in Malaysia. But, no one wants to watch it. Sky high ticket price is one of the reason but the people gets boring when they continous see the same team and same person win the race.

    Where are the Montoya supporters? It surprises me that nobody mentioned his second place finish, except Paladine but (s)he loves Schumacher.

    You can't blame Ferrari and Schumi for being good. Unfortunately, McLaren and Williams had reliability problems last year which made Schumi's dominance more evident.

    This year though many rules have been implemented and I think they're great. The strategy is more complex now and the race in Melbourne was very exciting. (If anyone saw it live, I envy you!)

    As for Montoya, his bad luck last year seems to have followed him to this year. He and Kimi could have won but they made mistakes. It may be partly due to their lack of experience making them crumble under pressure.

    I only really ever watch the starting few laps, and the laps around pitstop and then the final few laps. The rest is just driving.

    Montoya sucks. But Williams not. Williams is a good team. Montoya is a good driver too. But it did something so we dislike him. We don't hate any F1 driver. We love 21 of them.


    Upps someone thinks 20 of them

    I hate Williams. I still hold frank Williams responsible for the death of Ayrton Senna. I can't believe there hasn't been a deeper investigation in this.

    Of course noone is ever going to be able to prove this, but to me it still smells like sabotage.
