Man how good was Takuma Sato's drive in the Super Aguri on the weekend man he put Kimi in his Ferrari the axe slayed Ralf Schumacher in the Toyota and for desert ate the F1 world Champ in the Maclaren F**K it was good to watch someone in a inferior car giving it to the big boys.The thing that really gets me is that Super Aguri also caked his pitstops man if they had have soughted those he had a chance at a podium.....Loving that.... 8O 8) 8)..

Ok, excuse the insensitivity, but is Hamilton the first black man to win a Grand Prix?

I'm wracking my brain, thought some of you old fogies might know if there ever has been one. Note this is not a diss to anybody, was just a curious question.

That unique place in F1 history belongs to American William Theodore Ribbs Jnr, better known as Willy T. Ribbs.

In January 1986 he tested for Brabham-BMW at Estoril, Portugal, back when the team was owned by Bernie Ecclestone. It did not lead to a full-time drive. He went on to race in CART, NASCAR (after an earlier foray into the sport which ended in his sacking) and the Indy Racing League. During his first CART season in 1990 he was involved in an collision at the Vancouver street circuit in which a marshall was killed. He retired from motor sport in 2000.

Just as well there were 13 corners then as you'll find the Mclarens will probably have the quickest apex speeds at all the corners..I see another easy win for them this morning...Man Ferrari are in real trouble at the moment the gap is getting quite big between Hamilton and the rest.... :?

Alonso is gonna get his arse so kicked by Hamilton next year if not this year once he has learnt all the tracks, Hamilton is just astonishing.
My personal hero Shuey must have heard he was coming and decided to quit. :lol:

Alright here we go back in Europe I can see a change in the tide back in Ferrari's favour..They tested well at Silverstone so I'm going for Ferrari to win the next 2 races if they and there drivers have any chance at all to win there respective titles.

Friday practice is not a good indicator of race, or even qualifying, performance. A Toro Rosso was 3rd fastest in session 2, somehow I don't think they be anywhere near there in qualifying, or the race ;)
