Casper Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Where were you the rest of the season!? Most interesting F1 season in a long time. I used to watch F1 religiously. I was a Schumacher fan, and loved watching him and Montoya go at it. Schumacher retired and Montoya went to NASCAR, so I just kinda lost interest. Now we need to get Montoya back in F1.

He's starting to get a feel for things and is slowly becoming competitive. Plus I think it's funny when he absolutely dominates the road courses.

Schumacher retired and Montoya went to NASCAR, so I just kinda lost interest. Now we need to get Montoya back in F1.i absolutely hate montoya, and he deserves his spot in nascar. so let him keep it! some of the most epic battles were between shumi and mika. those especially their fantastic race at spa in 99 i do believe.

e-flores Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 schumi and alonso was good too.True story, I think the two years alonso won the championship over shuni had to be the two most emotional championship losses he has ever had.

e-flores Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 ya'll know he likes to ride motorcycles as well right? on the track of course, but wont race them.....he's sticking to 4 wheels for that. :-)No not exactly he has been club racing etc. For a while now and he also ran a few test for wsbk over the winter which I thought was pretty amazing!

Kip Drordy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 So, anyone taking bets on how well he'll do after a 3 year hiatus?Lance Armstrong 3rd place Tour de France good or Michael Jordan Washington Wizards good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedogg624 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 points wise he still has a shot at actually winning the championship.of course a lot of dominoes have to fall in place for that to happen, but it still could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he doens't inherit Massa's points, he'll actually start accruing his own. So he has a lot of work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 He hasn't set foot in the F60 in 2009. hhhrrrrrmmm... unaware of that. this could be very interesting actually, these new cars are very different from what he was used to last year then. but he does have a good amount of experience with low downforce/high powerd cars from his early years in f1 though. that should help him a little. but he doesnt have ross brawn anymore though....

So he has a lot of work to do.o there is still a chance it could happen. I know he doesn't inherit points, but with the way the seasons been the lead guy does not have enough points to have this season locked down. to say there is 0% chance is wrong, to say slim to none chance well ok..

I will wager anything that he won't win. Sure the numbers say it can happen, but it won't. Ever. Lets not get into semantics here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
