Gwlad all over 230 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 The super Blues come first but after them comes Formula 1. Anyone know of a Toffee Talk equivalent for F1. Most of the ones I've found are very boring, Ta alot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeO 9,951 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Share your interest Gwlad but not to the extent that I feel the need to debate at huge length....we had a short thread on here last season (LINK) but it didn't come to much. Looking forward to it again, specially with Luke Hamilton in the McLaren giving us two Brits (hopefully) at the sharp end of the field. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stupid thing is I couldn't remember his name so I looked it up on the F1 site to check and still got it wrong.....Alzheimers or early onset dementia setting in perhaps .

Romey 1878 9,794 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 I used to like Raikkonen but I can't stand the Ferarri team so I'll keep on supporting Alonso at McClaren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeO 9,951 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Understand admiring Raikkonen as a driver but he has less personality than the average cardboard box so it would be a PR disaster for F1 if he won the title. Bernie Ecclestone must have nightmares about it. Given a choice of the three genuine contenders (Raikkonen, Alonso and Massa) I'm with Mark on Alonso but have to stick with the Brits (Coulthard excepted). Really want to see Jenson and Lewis Hamilton ( ) get amongst them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romey 1878 9,794 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 I can't see Alonso retaining his title again tbh because McClaren are so unreliable, that's probably part of the reason why Raikkonen left them. If they sort that out they're probably faster than the Ferarri's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebluenose 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 the new mclaren i think will do well. i think they may have done away with reliability issues. and im hoping hamilton to do well. although i can see raikonnen winning. the good thing with this season is that without schumacher the title race is open now to all drivers. therefore its probably more interesting as we wont see micheal schumacher on the podium anymore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romey 1878 9,794 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Raikkonen will be the champion I reckon, that car is far superior to anything out there right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeO 9,951 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 put him in a ferrari,mclaren,renualt and hel be up there Agreed...ten podium finishes and third in the championship (in 2004) behind totally dominant Ferraris suggests he has the ability if he had the car.

Too much money, not enough responsiblity. it is not hard to drive around a track where there is nothing to block you.

xsaint 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 I heard the 4 BMW powered machines have one of the best inline speed but in all they seem not to qualify for a podium finish. Is it real that BMW lack F1 power? ( They cannot be worst than Toyota and Honda machines right?) or is it the bad team and bad startegy the reason for their failures so far? Advices appreciated.....thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeO 9,951 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 BMW have their engines in both Sauber and Williams and the Sauber looks a very strong contender at the mo, behind only Ferrari and McLaren. Hard to predict after just one race and they don't have the most exciting drivers in Heidfeld and Kubica (though Kubica is promising) but I think they'll get the odd podium this year.
