Hahahah, I wasn't meaning that! I meant that Nadal still has to do much more than he's already done to reach Federer's level in the sense of gaining more tournaments, etc; What David said about Rafa having won probably even more tittles than Federer at current Rafa's age is truth and that's what Ir eally intended to say.

That's what I understood.... shame!!!

Anyway, Jenson is almost champion now... Even Webber & Vettel seem unable to beat him. Unbelievable season !

Where's the next race??

In summer, a lot of races are in Europe (Spa, Silverstone, Monza, Hockenheim...) but I forgot about the next one.
This season starts to disgust me, really. So boring...

June 21st at Silverstone.

....and in August, VALENCIA (SPAIN).... right by my house!!!!

Spanish Grand Prix was not in Barcelona ?

Setzerado,
yes, the Spanish GP is in Barcelona but the European GP is in Valencia, Spain since last year; despite Hokkenheim GP is still on the agenda this year, it no longer is the European GP.

Talking car race, Check out this dekal on my old Hagstrom guitar case!



Aint that cool?

Much more than just "cool", Bob. Great choice !

Two races in Spain: Barcelona and Valencia.


By the way..... are you guys aware of all the trouble for next year???? seems like there may not be F1 anymore.... at least the way we know it....

All that troubles for the next season seem incredible, as this one is incredible ! "Bizarre" times...

For what they said yesterday.... the decission is final.

Ferrari, Renault, McLaren and some others, are quitting the F1 and will organize and alternative championship.

THE WAR HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vettel won the qualifies for the (last) Silverstone Grand Prix. Button is "only" 6th ! May be it's the Red Bull day...

Vettel & Webber were the best today ! May be it's not won yet for Brawn...

Quite a strange race today.... Hamilton, Alonso, Raikkonen, Button.... they weren't at to their best...

Does anyone know what's finally going to happen with the F1 Championship next year??

Today, it's difficult to say what's going to happen next year. If nobody slows down, it could happen that thing : 2 championships, the FIA one and the "big teams" one !!

Back to the race today, Hamilton is over the points for the third time (14th, 16th & 13th !). Massa made 16 points on the last four races. It's small but Ferrari seems a little better now even if la Scuderia is still very far behind Brawn & Red Bull. Vettel & Webber were amazing today, really. The season is not over, they are four for the title : Button, Barichello, Vettel & Webber.

It's a really disappointed season. Only one podium for the Reds (Kimi at Monaco) in seven or eight races !

a death race would be more interesting

I'm thinking that the F1 should get Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher back, so that we can see more chrashes and accidents... now that the competition is quite in a stalemate situation, a bit of emotion would be great

Oh yes, F1 misses JP Montoya. This guy has all the qualities for being champion one day.

Great qualifies today (except for the unlucky Alonso "fired" on Q2 and who deserved much better as he was 2nd after Q1 !) and the pole for Mark WEBBER. It's confirmed now : Red Bull can beat Brawn...

Alright!!!!! My man Weber has finally got to the top of the podium!!!! Love his press interview, he said "he had a lot of doubters and hello to those people." When you got a car that will hold together, anything is possible. I'm sick of the Weber Bashers over here, have they ever performed on the world stage?? I think not!!!!

Go Webby!!! (Mark, not Paul)

Mark Webber is a fantastic guy/driver.
This year could be HIS year. He fight for the title this season, everything is possible. He really deserves it.
He made 26 points on the 3 last races : it's what Button (17) & Barichello (9) made together...

I don't think he can win considering the championship is decided by the amount of wins and not the amount of points. The positive for me is this has to give him confidence in his own abilities , so hopefully next year he can start from a strong position.
