Another win for Schumi & Ferrari!!!

Schumi did well in trying to hold off Kimi till the very end, considering that he only did 2 pitstops and had fairly worned out tires.

Mclaren got their positive results from MP4-19B.

Damn! that was fast. Mclaren(kimi) set a 3+ secs margin to rubic from the very start of the race.

But still, scarlet car imerge as the victor once again, awesome strategy from ferrari.

"GOOD WORK TEAM"

**kimpOy** · July 12th, 2004 04:50 PM

the reason "Safety Car"

nung nag crash si trulli, enter Safety car
nag pit si kimi, MS stayed on, ilan laps din yun na minimal lang ang gas consumption so light yung scarlet car versus the mp4-19B

pero obviously mas mabilis ang pace ni kimi

pero hats off sa strategy ng ferrari from 4 stop french GP to 2 stop british. hirap nilang spell for other teams

also solid driving by, after kimi pitted for the first time, 3 fastest laps ginawa ni shumy.
kimi had to undo the backmarkers while MS has a clear road, after MS pitted
P1 for MS

its great to see mclaren back to form once again.

hopefully the season gets better where they can actually fight for the win.

go mclaren! :D

btw, fisichella did one heck of a job!!! finishing 6th right?

**trekkie** · July 13th, 2004 04:39 PM

Yes mazdamazda.

Ferrari once again demonstrated why they are the winner of the 10 of 11 races. They would have taken the Monaco GP if not for the stupid collision of Schumi in the tunnel. They are quick to react to the track condition and their pit strategy remains the best!

nakita ko yong pagbangga ni trulli... ganda talaga design ng F1 body, well-protected ang driver

**mantoy** · July 13th, 2004 04:47 PM

hats off to the pitstop strategy of ferrari. galeng! how then can u beat MS eh kahit di sya pole nananalo pa din?

**luckytruck** · July 13th, 2004 05:10 PM

if trulli's accident had not caused the safety car to come out, shumi would have won by 20+ seconds. it would have been another dominating performance by ferrari, but since lumabas ang safety car, the race suddenly became competetive.

**kimpOy** · July 14th, 2004 12:45 PM

i dont think so, mabilis ang pace ng mclaren,
kayang kaya ng mclaren (mp4-19B) ang Ferrari F2004 lalo na papasok sa hangar straight.

now nung lumabas ang SC nag pit si kimi knowing that ferrari would pit also the later part so nag laylow siya

but MS did not pit thus earning him the checkered flag

Nice to see McLaren back in the podium. Not sure now who has the faster pace. One thing though, the rest of the season is going to be more exciting.

Forsa Ferrari as a team is impressive but I have doubts on Schumy. Is he better than Senna or Fangio? Debatable. Put him on a Minardi, and if he still wins, that's impressive.

Were senna and fangio driving minardi equivalents? I don't think so. To actually compare the three who raced in different eras is unfair to say the least.

schumacher was ahead of raikonnen with no need to pit anymore. so if the race went normally without any safety car, raikonnen would have had to pit and so shumacher would be ahead by at least 15 seconds (total pit time including slow down and start up).

granted, the maclaren might be the faster car but when raikonen made his first pitstop, shumacher made 3 or 4 straight fastest laps with a clear track ahead of him.

i think the advantage of schumacher and ferrari is that they know exactly what their car is capable of and plan their race accordingly. a few races ago, they said that they knew they had no chance to get pole position, and so they changed their strategy accordingly and went on to win.

maybe when mclaren have more time with their new car, they can start to do this as well.

also don't forget that the bridgestone tires where doing pretty well during long stints making schumacher's strategy work.

kimi's opening laps were crazy! putting 3 secs between him and rubens in a few laps....now that's pace.

it was mostly due to the michelins working better than the bridgestones for the first few laps. if the 2 backmarkers were not in front of kimi after the safety car went back to the pits, he could have had the opportunity to give a go at shumacher at some point.

hope we get more racing for the remainder of the season!

**skipper** · July 14th, 2004 03:55 PM

logbook, tama ka, yung michelin mabilis mag warm up pero mabilis din maupod. the Ferrari team were smart enough to recognize that and plan their strategy accordingly, as luckytruck said.

And Schumy implemented the strategy to perfection.
