Super7 Turbocharged September 12, 2004 Author Share September 12, 2004 from 4th on the grid, alonso leaped to 2nd (overtook MS and Montoya) after the first corner. .... he then overtook Barricelo (1st on the grid) few laps later and led the race until he pitted short while ago..

Huggable Clutched September 12, 2004 Share September 12, 2004 Rubens did very well to win the race, though he only led in the early and closing stages. Some more he had 3 pit stops, 1 more than most of the front-runners! MS showed his stuffs by catching up from 15th place. Pity Alonso, the track marshalls refused to help him push the Renault from the sand pit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord 1st Gear September 12, 2004 Share September 12, 2004 I switched on the tv and saw Ferrari one-two! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Sigh... shows as much that there are only five posts in this thread Ferrari it must be said made a fantastic comeback after Rubens had the wrong tyre choice at the beginning and Schumi spun. They both drove their hearts out, and I guess that can't be seen as bad. Kimi Kimi... his engine failure (water leak) meant something like his eighth retirement this year! I think McLaren owe him big, especially since he's staying with them next year. Maybe he should join BAR, at least they manage to finish races Then there's Button - all the hoopla about joining Williams next year saying they are the team to bring him a championship, and both he and team-mate Sato finish ahead of JPM and Pizzonia. Which of course begged the question from a scribe: Q: Jenson, after a fantastic drive like that and BAR clearly showing they are clearly the second best team on the grid, do you not have any second thoughts about the decision you have made for next season? Button: Erm, no. Q: (That's better than a no comment I suppose! Button: (Laughter) I answered it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Thatz ferraris home track and they know the track like the back of their hand. The 3 pit stop was really well done by them to come up with that. Its really a splash and dash. But my favourite JPM disappoint me again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 What's interesting now is with the points, Trulli, Alonso and Monty separated by just 4 points (46, 45 and 42); and Kimi, DC and Sato another 5 (28, 24 and 23)... Over at the constructors, it's just as interesting, with BAR and Renault at 94 and 91 pts respectively, and Williams and McLaren at 60 and 52 pts. So if we discount the red cars, there's still a lot to play for! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Maybe there's more advertising money to be made from being in teams like Mclaren (endorse Merc cars and Tag watches) and Williams (endorse Bimmers and.. ummm... HP computers ). BAR's publicity doesn't seem that good right? Button doesn't appear in many ads (if at all). Do the drivers earn more endorsing products than the salaries paid by their teams?

Seansene 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 I think Schumi earns just as much from endorsements as his 'regular' salary, for a total of US$80 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Guess I won't really blame Button for wanting to switch teams, he's prob calculated that he makes lots more $$$ being at Williams than at BAR. Guess it shows that to attract good drivers, the team has to have a strong marketing strategy in addition to race strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 I guess in terms of promotion you're right. But Button keeps insisting (how unlikely it may be) that he's NOT moving because of money... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Sad but true .... I have totally turned off F1 oredi ... now WRC leads the way After being a fan since 1984 .... this form of racing has bored me to death. 2004 ... is the year I say goodbye to F1.

Adrianli Hypersonic September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 But hor WRC no live pictures leh, always must wait till Tuesday for it to be shown on AXN. And the camera does not pick up everything. Mostly in car camera. F1 different, got in car and chase camera. Somemore F1 races finish in 2hrs. WRC, 3 days then know the result. If WRC got all the camera action and live feed then everyone will definately switch to WRC. Where r the sponsers!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 But when the car overturn or skid into the woods cant see the real action from 3rd person view. More camera views and live broadcast will bring in the sponsers. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
