well, here are my 0.02 Euro on the race.  I do like it when its on CBS so I can see it, but the commentators are being stupid.  "See how he catches up under braking, then gets left behind under acceleration" [8-)]

Anyway, I don't know whether MS did that intentionally or not.  Regardless, being penalized from 1st to last was extreme, especially when Fisci was only docked his best 3 times for blocking.  Maybe people can start complaining that the FIA is Renault's little pet now, especially after Fisci's unpenalized, bonehead move on DC.

Seeing Schumi working the pack was fun though.  Poor Button, he always gets pwn3d by him in the chicanes, lol.  I was hoping he'd get around Rubino too, but alas.

The more I see of Alonso, the less well I think of him.  When Schumi was in the dominant car, he pulled away at an amazing rate.  Alonso hardly ever pulls away.  He just knows its near impossible for him to get passed, so he just regulates the pace.  Maybe that's the strategy and I'm selling it short, but I'd like to see what he could do from the back of the pack, like what we've seen this year from MS and Kimi.

Speaking of Kimi, eff mclaren.  I don't care for the team, but this is getting stupid.  Poor Webber too.  Nice to see DC have a good run for a change though!

Unsportsmanlike is what I call it.  Even if it was a mistake (1 in a million) what kind of punishment would you give to him?  If anything, complain about the soft penalties given to other teams, not the right penalty given to MS.

The race was just ho-hum for me.  It was nice to watch MS fight traffic, but there wasn't much "racing" going on for position.  Maybe F1 should have push-to-pass for Monaco?  :)

well BGP was really good for the first few laps when top 3-4 were nose to tail, but then Alonso took off and that was that.  One pass in the pits for Schumi was uneventful.   looked like there were some pretty good battles in the back but they didn't show much of it.  Poor Button got out qual. by both Midlands and then blew the engine.  The announcers suggested that rumours in the paddock were that the other drivers think JB should go to another team for a fresh start but Honda still won't let him.

I think we're done with CBS for this year.  Those guys weren't too bad, but Daly gets a little too excited over little things (but then so does Hobbs and Matchett).  I do like the driver interviews during the race that Speed doesn't get.

Past two races were

exciting and suspenseful.

M. Schu, love and hate.

[quote user="Arshad M."]Nobody is as upset as I am!!!! Pissed is an understatement. Maybe Alonso will crash out in Brazil and Schumacher wins. I would walk around with a smile for years should this occur.

 I'm just hoping for another engine to blow up, but this time in a blue car. 
 

[quote]Having Schumy back next year would be exciting...in a Subaru...in F1...hmmmmm [/quote]

At least their engines don't usually blow up.  Now transimissions, wheels, tires, brakes, shifters, more transmissions, diffs, clutches, electronics, etc, might be another story.  They are switching to bridgestones next season though....

Can we revive this thread or start a new one?

Anybody seen the new Renault's and their hideous paint schemes?  Sure are creative with the winglets.

I must be the only one alive that actually likes the new Renault livery.

I like how the mirrors are integrated into the winglets, too.

w00t for Massa & Ferrari, 2007 World Champions [:D]

hadn't noticed the mirrors, that is cool. 

you just like it cuz it's not french blue anymore :P  I like the colors, just seems to busy on that car.  I sure like the new Spyker look though--very orange

[quote]I sure like the new Spyker look though--very orange[/quote]

Exactly why I don't like it.  I didn't know it was possible to take a neat, exciting color like blind-me orange and make a boring car.

I would say monochrome FTL but I do secretly hope Honda stays all black [:D]

WOW!!!!!!!  This must be the longest running thread of all time anywhere!  Good to see this F1 support.  Haven't been here for a long time!

Will be an interesting year for F1 fans.  We have lost the F1 King (retired).  I will say only this.  There is talk that he MAY be back in 07'.  Would be cool.

Nice to see you all again![:)]
