Toyota spends the most in F1. Toyota just doesnt have the engineers to put together a decent car yet. Honda on the otherhand was just getting everything down then the FIA changed the rules on everything.

Massa should stay as the number 2 driver for Ferrari, but if for any reason if Kimi decides not to go to Ferrari then Massa should be the number 1 driver. He is good but still has a LOT to learn. Although that new kid, who drove for BMW this past three races shows some promise. He should go to Renault as there number 2 driver, or even Meclaren. He needs to get on a team where he has a car that compete.

Anyway 2pts between Shumi and Alonso its coming down to a great championship.

i think that Kubica is doing pretty damned skippy. the Sauber BMW team seems to have gotten 'faster' since Williams is out of the picture. i wonder how Alonso will do with a new team...wherever he may end-up. the Schu...well, i'll miss the hell out of him, but like Mansel, and Senna (yeah, i know he passed...i was watching the race), and Prost, and Berger, Hakkinen, and so on leaving...F1 will go on!

yeah, i KNOW the Toyota team needs to get their sheisse together. i know they spend a bunch, but Schu (jr) needs to step it up and Trulli needs to get his arse in-gear!

I know everyone was expecting kimi to come to ferrari, but I woulldn't le myself believe it untill they actually announced it.
I agree , I didn't want to get my hopes up and then get let down! I am sooo freakin stoked about the line up now and now my household can all go for the same team and driver !!!! I even went to look at ferrari clothes yesterday since I will have to retire my kimi shirt and hat next season !

I'm not above getting picture frames and putting driver shirts up on the walls in the "rec room" of the house.

Alonso said in an interview after the Italian GP "Michael is the man with the most sanctions and the most unsporting driver in the history of Formula 1" as well as "[Soccer player Zinedine] Zidane retired with more glory than Schumacher," mentioning the French midfielder who famously headbutted Italy's Roberto Matterazzi in this year's World Cup final in what was the last game of his career.

That was following his quote of "Formula 1 is not a sport anymore".


Sore loser anybody? Now I remember why I was never an Alonso fan.

I don't buy driver specific gear.
In fact, I only have ferrari stuff.....

I'm all about "fuck alonso", and last year I was all about "fuck kimi" but the truth is, if you put alonso in a red car, i would be his biggest fan, just as I am about to be kimi's biggest fan

Well I am all for more Kimi fans but you shoulda been a kimi fan anyways hahaha. I dont care where Alonso goes he gets under my skin and I can't stand him. Especially on the podium (sp) he is always an ass and talks about the other drivers foul ups like they arent sitting right there. grrrrrrr
