There are many devout Ferrari and Shu fans in this forum I happen to have tremendous respect for and like. Just because at times I dislike Ferrari, I don't dislike the fans. And just because I attack Ferrari I'm not attacking you.
It pains me when disagreement devolves into personal attacks and/or name calling. Go ahead, criticise the crap out of Briatore and Renault, they are professionals and part of the wonderful soap opera of Formula One. But please, please, play nice and try to show a little respect for your fellow forum members, because if you don't give respect, you may not receive it.

I totally agree with you. Whenever I am put in such situation, I at least try to look from different point of views before I come to conclusion. Unfortunately there are stable things here that you can't change such as different age groups, backgrounds and personalities. Despite all that, I hate when certain members start offending others even thou they might be right (or wrong).

Very well said. Let the matters argue, there's no need to make it personal.

I enjoy some post from "both sides" very much, while some should've been left unposted. I don't agree with some thoughts and I'm sure some don't agree with my thoughts. But we should all value others thoughts just as much as our own.

Now lets take a moment and pray for the rain.

hey guys
i apologise for the words i used, but i was so angry after i read what that "Briatore" said.
i didn't mean any single member of the forum...
manchild, i told u befor that i don't like ur opinions at all! but at the same time, ur opinions give life to every topic in the forum, right? but i wonder why nobody reacted when some group members describe MS using the same words in MONACO GP topic, which i had just reviewed

Hey Allan, I just noticed we're practically neighbours. North York here.

We're all passionate fans in here, in our own ways. And if we didn't disagree, it would be a boring world.
I understand why you would be irate, what Briatore said was a personal attack on Massa, definitely hitting below the belt. And despite massa's choices, he has proven himself a worthy teammate to Michael Schumacher. Think about it, thrown into the fire, and winding up supporting the greatest record holder in Formula One, on another possible title.
You really can't say that about Fisi.

Why did Massa come in early? This is a very atypical race so far, at lap 17

Lap 39: Amazing.... what are the odds

Rules question. If MS ties FA at Brazil, what happens then?

Oh, man, that really hurts. That was the absolute worst time for Ferrari to blow an engine.

I supposed congratulations are in order for Alonso and Renault, as this season appears to be over. Job well done.

Well, it would take a win for Schu in Brazil combined with a 9th place finish or worse for Alonso. I just don't see that happening.

Of course I didn't see this one coming either. So maybe there's a glimmer of hope. But I won't be holding my breath.

Yeah, it just requires a copy of this race...better not gongratulate anyone quite yet.

As much as I dislike Ferrari, I didn't hope for this.

I'm very happy for the result, but not the way it happened. I even won't mention how Schumi decided to keep on the driving line as long as possible with his oil sprayer.

Maybe the engine failure was sabotage!

ALONSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Anyone else noticed that Fisico was crying on stage and didn't open the champagne. According to the commentator, someone close to him passed away! Great race Fisichella! Great race Alonso! Great race RENAULT!!!!

Obviously that spec. of Ferrari engine can't go trough full duty cycle. That same spec. had to be replaced on Massa's car in Shangai after being used in Italy. I was really down, watching race from my bed thinking how 5 secs is too much and than bang! It was a gift from the heaven.

What a lovely Sunday morning - sun is shining, birds are singing, engines are blowing.
