ferrari vs bmw

was great but im sure they toom it easy for the last 10 laps anyways

great race from massa and about time, he was really quick all weekend n deserved to win it

kimi i think had a mixed weekend but still he had a good race and a great start

kubica just keeps on impressing every race and same with heidfeld with hes last min fastest laps

i hope mclaren get there stuff together bc they will be the number 3 team behind bmw

heiki mm i dont know wat happened to him for the race but he pulls out a really quick lap at the end which was a waste

now how bout lewis vs asslonso

mclaren should protest bc it did cost lewis points, i dont know wat asslonso was doing but yeh it wasnt great
but then again lewis should of had a better start and all that stuff with asslonso wouldnt of happened

super aguri are terrible in traffic, sato just makes me laugh holding ppl up and u can tell the drivers are scared to pass him after hes history lol

well 3 weeks till the next round

i hope mclaren come back

Yeah it's only the comments that differ. I probably shouldn't have used the word incidences... some stuff, like during the opening laps, I don't recall seeing how Kimi regained his place from Kovalainen after turn 1. According to race control, there was some oil leak from turn 4-6, which as Kubica said, made him slide a bit. I didn't see those things.

You didn't notice them because they weren't shown.

Good stuff from Massa, finally showing what his potential is.

^Unfortunately, the current point system favors consistency.

^^^
But don't u think thats rather good?

I'd rather see more drivers trying to fight for the top step then settling for 2nd.

Mattk · 04-07-2008, 09:21 AM

Yeah, I reckon the old system of 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 was much better at rewarding top placings. Not only were there fewer points in total on offer, there was a bigger bonus for winning.

5vz-fe · 04-07-2008, 01:21 PM

The reason for the change in point system is because MS and Ferrari is consistently winning.

The current point system gives very little wiggle room if the top drivers are consistently on the podiums. As a result, if 1 of the top drivers crashed out in 1 race, it will take 5 wins to catch up the 1 mistake if the other top competing driver(s) is consistently settle for 2nd (which is highly likely)

Mattk · 04-07-2008, 10:45 PM

Yeah, I remember reading an article comparing the operation of the current system to the old system in the first year of the change, and it concluded that Michael Schumacher was losing out in the drivers' championship and Ferrari was losing out big time in the constructors' championship. However, Ferrari in the early 2000s was in crush mode. Now, it looks like Ferrari, McLaren and BMW are all very even. The situation has changed, and it's time we go back.

Ah yeah! The building of the Sakhir track was started in 2002 with high domestic interest about the project as it gave a future to the next generation of Bahraini racers.
