Ferrari are winning approx every race. i thought maybe last year it would be different but, no neither Williams or McLaren could pull it off. Maybe soon a team will be able to manufacture a car to beat them. but soon the only future in F1 will be ferriari.

Last years competition was great, but this year it's gonna be even better.
Welcome to the forum btw. :D

Maybe they're just good at what they do 8)

Agreed!!!!

Because Ferrari has the best team, the best drivers, and the best car :D

They will win Australia 2004!!!!!! Can't wait till next weekend :D :D

Ferrari have a great car now, they dove 0,9 seconds under the old track record of Imola.:D:D:D

McLaren-Mercedes, BMW-Williams and Ferrari. They are all potential winners..

Ferrari r good but do they deserve 2 win 4 times in a row :?: maybe they do, but, lots of over drivers derserve 2 win aswell. isn't it getting just a bit boring watchin them win like all da races :?: :?:

McLaren-Mercedes, BMW-Williams and Ferrari. They are all potential winners..

You forget Renault, that's a potential winner too

If a team is good, well they are good. Boring hell no, its a dynasty!

Wow, I thought the new car was a "slight" improvement. 0.9 sec is ALOT on a track in F1.

Ferrari win agen!!! but didn't alonso n button do well?

Yeah, they did well too, especially Alonso.

I think Button did great. They made a huge step forward with that new car. I hope to see him on the podium this year.

IMO Honda has one of the best engines (performance-wise) on the line-up.

yea alonso did do well

They have one of the poshest engines ever. No valves btw, its ALL solenoids :shock: . Schumacher is a damn good driver but relies too much on technology

What exactly do you mean??

Dude that was Renaults pos older engine, not Ferrari. :roll:

ferrari aswell, my dad saw a new ferrari engine in the 2003 sauber car in some expo in malaysia (petronas towers) (they were just borrowing the new engine for show, they really use ferrari engines from two years ago)

What does this have to do with Renaults valve-less engine? And Sauber Petronas use ONE year old Ferrari engines.

OK! at the time sauber were using two year old engines I THINK. but whats important is they borrowed a NEW ferrari engine for show and the NEW ferrari engine had NO valves.

Well thats wrong, all the Ferrari engines used in F1 over the past few years HAD valves. You are getting confused with Renault.

there was valveless engine with a black horse in a sauber car, it might have been for show, who knows, the logical thing to assume is that it was a race moter. it had 2003 stamped on the side and it was stated that it was borrowed from ferrari. ok?

an F1 debate i hear? :D

Blu your wrong about sauber - they use exactly the same engine as ferrari i.e. today's engine today. Last season they used an older ferrari engine (from the F-2001)
They are not valveless as such - they have swapped springs for a pneumatic system, where a high pressure column of air which closes the valve. - but isnt particularly new technology, since it allows you to control the rate of opening/closing, since you change the rate a spring works at, it will just work at its resonant frequency.

the engine in the show car must off been a one off then i suppose

ITS GONNA BE FERRARI THROUGHT COZ THEY R THE BEST IN ALL ASPECTS!!

FERRARI RULZ!! :twisted:

ITS GONNA BE FERRARI THROUGHT COZ THEY R THE BEST IN ALL ASPECTS!!

FERRARI RULZ!! :twisted:That's what everyone says

i hope markwebber completes a race in his jaguar once at least. maybe he an make it into the top 5. but ferrari are unstoppable. i douybt they'll lkose more than one grand prix throughout the whole year

hes signed to BMW

hes signed to BMW
I doubt this... They haven't decided yet which driver they'll take.
And btw it's Williams-BMW. BMW is only providing the engine.

Nobody has signed a contract for Williams yet. But they are even talking about a comeback of Jacques Villeneuve

meh, i couldnt remember what the full name was at the time and i saw that he'd resigned on some pre race bulls**t on the aussie gp

(again my posts getting deleted!)

But they are even talking about a comeback of Jacques Villeneuve
Yeah, I also heard about a comeback of Mika Hakkinen!! Now I don't know if this is true, but I doubt it...

I heard it too, but i also really doubt this. But Villeneuve has said that if someone calls for a testdrive, he will be ready. I think it would be good when villeneuve comes back. Especially for the non-schumi fans.

Ferrari is winning not only because they have the best driver in the world and the best car in the world...but also because they hired some of the best brains in the world...the strategies that they chose each race are what keep them winning...schumacher alone wouldnt be doing this good...they can also adapt instantly to sudden changes and mold their strategies to the situation at hand...bringing schumi from sixth place all the way to first without overtaking once is just plain genious...however it must be said its f***** boring to watch...very clever but very boring...
BTW...after schumi leaves in 2005...who would you like to see replace him?
and last question...how do i get a little picture thingy...i cant figure it out...thx

BTW...after schumi leaves in 2005...who would you like to see replace him?

He leaves after 2006 :wink: And then i would love to see that Alonso has become better and replace him.

ferrari are getting really boring
i wanna see someone else beat them
like Jenson Button

ferrari are getting really boring
i wanna see someone else beat them
like Jenson ButtonIf you saw the British Grand Prix, you would see that Kimi is the closest

I was there! :D

I was there! :D
Good for you :wink:
All the previous races were boring :smt099 (i was falling asleep ) but the last was good! kimi was fast the engine didn't broke :smt038
I am JPM fun but i just want to see a good race with many changes in 1st 2nd ....... place!!!!!!!

I was there! :DWhere you close to the Trulli crash?

Nope which annoyed me I could only watch it on the screen, I was at Copse just opposite the pits

the best race so far was monte carlo

the diamond off Klien's car fell off
Alonso had a bad crash
Schu actually crashed :D
it was hectic at the beginning
Trulli won
and button came 2nd :D

Ferrari is winning not only because they have the best driver in the world and the best car in the world...but also because they hired some of the best brains in the world
Actually that sums it up fine.

lol hello again. its a year on, and i'm back, well i don't know about you but i think but somehow, it could be Ferraris show....again!
i hope button and montoya and kimi do well though. ithink heidfield will be best on the williams team,
what do you think?

I hope Button does well and i really hope Scumacher won't win all the races.

Simply because ferrari have the best f1 drivers.

I hope Button does well and i really hope Scumacher won't win all the races.

yea shumacher can't win this season as well.....Button should to fine:)

looks like somebody did stop ferrari, renault......did you see Shumacher's face when that Minardi overtook him:p

It was a good race today. I think scuey is gonna do very bad this season.

yah shcumi didnt do that well, but usually when he starts at the back of the grid he doesnt do that well....renault did really well - 2 podium places!:D i think they have a chance

yep and i don't think, i know they do:)

I'd rather want BAR to do better but it's a change from Ferrari so i suppose Renault doin well is good.

If a team is good, well they are good. Boring hell no, its a dynasty! a dynastys always fall!

From what it looks like to me is that Ferrari was a sleeping Giant at one point. For a good amout of time they were doing poorly. Ferrari reminds me of the Chevy of Nascar. Except Ferrari got to the top the right way not the wrong way but that's a differnt issue. Another key element to Ferrari's sucess is Micheal. He knows how to tell them guys to set the cars up. I do think they can be caught up too. Do I think this season well maybe. Next season I think we could see Ferrari sitting a little uncomfortable.

Maybe Renault can....? I mean Shumacher kept pretty quiet today and Barrichello couldn't control his car very well because of the tyres. its great for Alonso though, unfortuate for Fizzy though...

Most people won't have seen the race so i say bad post lol.
NOTE: like me.

Why?She is right?
Barri couldnt control his car because of the tyres.That's why he went off.

Maybe the other teams can stop Ferrari, i'll feel sorry for them though, when Ferrari's new car comes out

They will not :D :D :D

They might do. If Renault and Red Bull Racing can be consistant, who knows?

It's not a good thing to be happy at others misfortune, but I am happy that Ferrari hasn't won yet. This might have just saved F1.

Is F1 on this weekend?

nah, its next weekend...we'll see how ferrari fares this time...when does their car come out?

There is F1 action this weekend.And Ferrari will show their new F2005...
All of those at Bahrain. ;)
Wait and see.

Oh no
i'm at london this weekend i won't see it.

I am gonna miss it to--oh well

i got really annoyed cause they didnt show the malaysia grand prix last time...they had the clipsal 500 instead... grrr

this weekend will be really intresting... ferraris new car, de la rosa is racing, how BAR can win their problems..... I cant wait any longer! :)

The action started and Ferrari won the third practise at Friday.
They are fast.Saturday's qualify 1:
1.ALONSO
2.TRULLI
3.SCHUMACHER
Lets wait until tomorrow when they will finish the qualifying session.

as i've heard
ALONSO WON
scumacher out
sato and button out
trulli second
raikonnen third.

Indeed nutty boy !...Indeed

yeah.indeed.

yeah.indeed.
That's very ture what shumi said there......very true indeed ;)

We're gonna get like half a page of people saying indeed and agreeing with people who said indeed.

indeed guys. indeed.

Looks like this thread should be renamed to "What stopped Ferrari?" seeing that Renault has cleaned house thus far...

Topic was created March 2nd 2004 mate that's why it's named that. But yeah now it's April 7th 2005 and it should be named that.

The answer to this is really easy.
Firstly, Renault.They made very good tests and they deserve whatever they did.
Secondly, FIAT stopped give money to Ferrari for the winters tests(Now gives less than previous years).That's a big issue cause that showed how bad is the situation in the Group and how that became a reason into the circuit for bad results.
Thirdly, there are some luck terms. Especially in the first race when Ferrari's (IMO) were quick and the rain screwed everything.
Anyway, sure thing is that Ferrari is 6th now and someone or something made that happened.
Express your opinions that can be different from mine and are true.

Ferrari are in need of better tyres and need to do more testing and bring the new car up to scratch.

They did that this week and they will gonna kepp doing it every day with Bridgestones until Imola.
BTW, did you hear that both of Renaults were down in Barcelonas tests this week?
Alonso's engine broke and Fisichella had problems with brakes and with his engine as I remember well...

that's bad news
i was hoping of better things from renault.

Maybe they are testing different setups. That doesn't mean anything does it?

yeah it does--Renault are trying to find the idea that will work best with each race.

Thats not the reason.
At the end of last race Alonso said that Renault are really quick and they can win in all types of circuits because they can be quick in all types of circuits.
Anyway, we will see at Imola.

yeah i guess lol
