Yes certainly - I would sell my house and wife to get money to pay them to!

Michael Schumacher made a huge mistake at La Rascasse, one a driver with his experience should have been able to correct. After all, he didn't hit the wall and he should have been able to continue, rather than sitting there and stalling the engine.\nI'm not sure I would put him at the back of the grid, but I believe the rules provide for discounting his three fastest laps in that final 20-minute session, so that would drop him down the grid a few places and the driver who really earned the pole, Fernando Alonso would have the prime starting position for the race.\nIf his pole position isn't taken away, then it would be poetic justice to see Alonso zip past him at Ste Devote on the opening lap.\nWell, after a long deliberation, the three race stewarts did the right thing; he's been moved to the back of the grid, although I would rather see him in the middle where there is a good chance he might have been the meat in a sandwich the first time the cars go through Casino Square.

Juan who?  You mean Won Ton Soup, I love that stuff.  F1 drivers will never make it in NASCAR, the snobs thought they would come in and dominate.  Let's just say they were dead wrong.  I agree with you though, their multiple crashes were quite entertaining.  I guess if your name is Juan and you bump Ryan Newman you better get ready for a ride you weren't expecting that ends with a fire spectacular, LOL.  I'm glad he didn't get hurt but I wish they would all go back to their F1 where the nearest car is either 2 seconds in front or behind you.  At least they got a first hand experience of what real racing is.

It would appear his options were fairly limited; it was either a job as a test driver in Formula One or toiling in the Champ Car series (with Red Bull sponsorship). I think he made the right choice and yes, he deserves another chance as a full-time driver in F1; perhaps he'll get it in 2008..

Let's wait until the new cars are launched and the drivers put some test mileage on them.\nWe have absolutely no idea who will have a really good car and who will have an uncompetitive and unreliable one. McLaren had a decent year in 2005, but who would have guessed the team would go without a win in 2006.\nTires/tyres may be the great equalizer in 2007; with a single tire/tyre supplier, look for harder compounds than we saw this year, then look for a car that best uses its tires/tyres.

definitely Michael Schumacher. He is a living legend and the only one to have the machinery, car, tyres and the motivation to dod so. There is no doubt in my mind that Schumi will get his 8th World Championship this season.

It's beginning to look like a repeat (of the driving championship) for Fernando Alonso. The Renault package - chassis, engine and Michelin tires/tyres - is the best on the grid at the moment and Alonso has been on the podium for all seven races so far this season (four wins and three second-place finishes).

Formula One cars must have four, uncovered wheels, all made of the same metallic material. Front wheels must be between 305 and 355mm wide, the rears between 365 and 380mm.\n\nWith tyres fitted the wheels must be no more than 660mm in diameter (670mm with wet-weather tyres). Measurements are taken with tyres inflated to 1.4 bar.

yes. at the begin of a race in 1995  a safety car at the back was going at a much higher speed and it crashed into the back of a f1 car.

As of now the numbers indicate Alonso. But the last 2 races have changed the trend a bit in favor of Michael. However, if Michael wins all the time, and Alonso arrives second behind him all the time, it will take a VERY long time for Michael to pass him in the championship standings. Both cars seem now very reliable and fairly equal, so between tire choices and reliability, the fist team that screws up gives an edge to the other one. Alonso comes from a winning championship. He is young, aggressive, a good driver, and arrogant. Michael has unmatched experience, he is fast, tricky, and smarter. Now, if they had the same car, it would be a nice comparison!!! At the end, I think Michael can pull it off because his team is superior, and it would be nice to have him win an unheard of 8th title, and then retire in grand style. And yes, leave room to Kimi, who is unquestionably the fastest driver in the pack.

Start in kart racing. NOW. Get really, really good. then hope you're noticed. Red Bull has a driver search program. The link is below\n\nKimi Räikkönen only had 23 professional races when he was signed by Peter Sauber.You don't need a lot of experience, you just need to be really, really good.

Formula One is not leaving Indianapolis; there isn't another circuit in the U.S. that comes close to FIA standards and no circuit owner will invest the money needed to bring it up to standard, then pay Bernard Charles Ecclestone upwards of $15 million in sanctioning fees and depend on ticket sales to cover the expenses.\nForget about the idea of a race on a temporary circuit in Las Vegas; the last temporary circuit in the U.S., Phoenix, was a disaster. Phoenix was probably one if the worst tracks ever to host an F1 race. I remember Thierry Boutsen telling us that there wasn't one good corner on that track.\nAll that talk from Bernie about getting nothing from the U.S., having more viewers in Malta than the U.S., was just that, talk. It was designed to get ink (space) in newspapers and magazines, and it seems it did.\nTrue, Indianapolis Motor Speedway needed a major renovation (the old media centre was like a bunker and there were no garages along pit row), but too much money was spent building the road circuit, new pagoda, garages ... to abandon/boot out F1. \nIt won't happen this weekend, but look for an announcement in a few weeks that the U.S. Grand Prix will continue to be held at Indianapolis.

Almost every Formula One driver started his career in kart racing, then progressed through the various formulae - Formula Ford, Formula Renault, Formula 2000, Formula Three, Formula 3000 (now known as GP2). \nSome, like Jacques Villeneuve haven taken a slightly different route (to F1). He attended the Jim Russell Formula Ford Racing School at Mont Tremblant, Quebec., in 1986 and the Spenard-David Formula 2000 Racing School at Shannonville, Ontario., in 1986. After that he raced in the Italian Formula Three series, the North American Formula Atlantic Series and the (now defunct)  CART series before moving back to Europe and to F1.\nF1 drivers need a Superlicense and to qualify for that, a driver usually has to prove his/her competence in a lower level of racing, but I often wonder how some drivers actually qualify for that license.\nBy the way,` I am rock' F2 disappeared at the end of the 1984 season and was replaced by Formula 3000, which became GP2 last year.

Well lot of drama & exicetment is still ahead as Scumi & ferrari has pressed the accelerator, but frankly i think alonso will win in the end. He is intelligent and his car fast & furious and also reliable. It's a pity no one is talking about the flying KIMI.

Legends are born not made and Schumi is one of them. Champs like Alonso win it once and then are remembered as history. Legends keep on winning. So it has to be just one scenario, Schumi all the way.

Formula 1 (Michael Schumacher etc.)\n\nEach Grand Prix is done over a race weekend, this year you can use however many sets of tyres you like, but one engine has to last you two weekends.  Penaltys are given for any blown engines etc.\n\nFriday is Practise\nSaturday is Qualifying\nSunday is the Race\n\nIn practise the cars can do as many laps as they like, with whatever fuel or tyres they like to get used to the track etc.\n\nQualifying rules seem to change each year, basically there is a time window on the Saturday for the cars to go out and put in the fastest lap they can.  The faster the lap the higher up the grid they go, ideally getting first place(Pole Position). \n\nOn the Sunday, after the warm-up lap (to get tyres and engines up to temperature) the race starts after all the red lights have lit up and gone out (there is no flag to start the race).  Cars can pit whenever they like, for tyres, fuel etc. The race is over when the total number of laps are completed by the lead car, this when the chequered flag is waved.\n\nRed flags on the track means stop the race (major accident)\nYellow flags mean caution / slow down (minor accident)\nBlack flags mean disqualification\nBlue flags mean a car that is lapping you needs to overtake.\n\nThis is basically it, but someone else can correct or add to this.
