that was a hell of a drive by schuey. Almost had alonso. nice pass to get around button. Cbs F$#$ed up the coverage when schuey and alonso were going at they decided to have a recap that wasted two laps. the commentator that wasnt daly talked to much and was captain obvious. everything seemed kinda dumbed down which i didnt mind but other than that it was good to see a race nationally televised.

It was fun to watch an F1 race contested right till the end alright. Kinda sucks that it shows just how hard it is to pass unless the car and driver doing the passing are far better than the car and driver in front. I'd still rather watch Touring, GT or prototype cars thanks to more passing due to less reliance on aero grip.





CBS covered American Lemans series last weekend too. That's nice to see.

woot! Its a toss up for me, best drivers in the best cars on earth! Makes for amazing numbers and really fast laps but head to head racing is kind of washed out. Its really hard to pass now with all the aero and other regulations. for all out racing i think the speed world challange and Moto Gp are the best races out there. But! Shumacher is just amazing to see.



PS **** CBS! i hate there covrage! its total ****.

Why no comment from the sometimes cocky Button about how he was emascualted by a bright red flash and sent home third with his ego between his legs. I Bet he squats to pee for a bit now. Don't get me wrong...I think Jenson is one of the few that could make it sporting with near equal equip vs. Schuey... BUT ...that pass is why Mike is the world champ to the seventh power. If he still had tires at the end Alonso's streak would have ended at 2 RACES..

Looked to me like Alonso's was having a harder time with the condition of his tyres than Schumacher.

Its still amazing to see how well Renault is doing. In the past 3 years they have really honed the cars and the drivers really well.

Well, they do have a lot of experience, and they always seem to make the choices that pay off - turbo's, wider vee's. I always liked em.
