Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

I guess this year I will have two teams I wish to win, Ferrari and Mercedes.

Today was the last day of testing for this week ,with today 3 F1 World Champions in action on the track namely Schumi ,Alonso for the first time in the Ferrari F10 and also Buttonfor the first time in the McLaren-Mercedes .There where today 36.000 people/fans who saw these guys in action at Valencia .

Here are the results from today .

1. F. Alonso Ferrari F10 1:11.470
Laps 127
2. P. de la Rosa Sauber C29 1:12.094
+0.624 Laps 80
3. M. Schumacher Mercedes GP W01 1:12.438
+0.968 Laps 82
4. J. Alguersuari Toro Rosso STR5 1:12.576
+1.106 Laps 97
5. J. Button McLaren MP4-25 1:12.951
+1.481 Laps 82
6. V. Petrov Renault R30 1:13.097
+1.627 Laps 75
7. N. Hülkenberg Williams FW32 1:13.669
+2.199 Laps 126

What can we see at this moment is that the Ferrari is better than the car from last year because it's up at the first place in these 3 days of testing and also surprising is to see that the team of Sauber is also on a good way ,atleashed for now but ofcourse we have to wait until the very first race of this season witch begin in 3 weeks from now ,so i hope time flies by so that we soon can see the first race witch will start at Bahrein. But first there will be a next 4 days test next week also at Valencia.

And today was also the presentation of the very first F1 car of Virgin Racing the team of Richard Branson and i must admit that the colors look great on this car .

Simone, the italian mod, is a Ferrari (and Felipe Massa) supporter.
He has just said.

Here are the times of day 2 testing at Valencia . For the moment it looks like Ferrai did a better job than last year ,but ofcourse we have to wait until the first F1 race to be sure !!!!!! Yesterday was also the first test from Michael Schumacher at MercedesGp after beïng out of pension for three seasons and i must admid it was very very strange to see him drive a Mercedes after beïng so long as a Ferrari pilot .Schumi found it fantastic to drivez again he said " it was back like in '91 when i first drove a F1 car " ,so it seems that "Der Meister " will be very hungry again to get a World Title add to his name

According to "Sport Bild" Michael Schumacher has signed a one year contract with Mercedes.

We all know that next F1 season will be whitout BMw-Sauber and also this week Toyota has stept out immediatly out of this sport but the rumor is that also Renault could step out of the F1 !!! They will keep us in suspence until the end of december ,so what will it be ? let's wait and see . But if this is thru what wil we have next season ? because it's not sure that the 4 new teams will be at the start of 2010 ,but this will be good news for BMW because they have been taken over by Quadback .But let us hope that everyone who has signed the contract for next season will be at the start !! And were will all the drivers be because most of them have not yet a team .

This is asking maybe to mutch for you people but here in Belgium there is a problem with our belgium racing track "Spa-Franchorchamps " ,there are some people ( also the goverment) who want to close this track permantly because it's noisy/loud when there is a race event like the F1 or some othere race categories .So some of the people who want that this track must stay open have started a petition ,so my question is would you like to sign it also please ? I'm sure that there are people on this forum who have bin at this race track to witness a race or the famous "Spa-Italia Days" that is hold every year .If You do this you wil make a lot people happy with this including me !!!! So here is the link : [Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] . The forms are in english ,german ,french and dutch . Hope that we can save this track !!!!!!

Well as a Ferrari Fan i will also like to congratulate Jenson Button as the new World Champion and the BrawnGp team for the Constructor Champions of 2009 ,weldone everybody ,specialy ofcourse Ross Brawn who was for a long time also a family of the Ferrari -crew with a lot of succes and now he did it with his own team and drivers in his very first year on the grid !!!!!!!!!! And about the result of Ferrari ...wel i'm almost sure if Raikonnen did not had a colision with Webber than he had a big change to be on the podium. And about Fisico ..euh i think it will be better that the season is over .And i realy realy hope that next year Felipé Massa will be back at a 100 % and that he can give us fans back some great races !!!!!!!

Kind Regards

After 25 years of loyalty to Ferrari I am officially out of their fan club. I have for that just 2 reasons, one is Alonso and the other is Fissichella. When anyone aked me which 2 drivers I dont wanna see in my life biggest love on tv, well those two I cant stand. I cry tonite for old times of Schumacher. At least I hope Barrichello can still win this season.
