Italian GP

What an exciting race!!!

This really kept Ferrari fans on the edge all race long. Hehe. What an amazing comeback by Barichello (their gamble on intermediate tires didn't pay off) and Schumi (who spun)!

Dang, I thought that the podium wouldn't include any Scarlet drivers as Button, Alonso & JPM were racing quite well. Although at this point am already thinking that the Ferrari team would make their move during the pit stops. And they did!

:D

Same thoughts exactly!

Bad trip! Di ko tinapos. I saw the line-up and kita ko lang si Barrichelo on P1... Tapos nilipat na... and then I watched the 18-26th laps, na malayo si Barrichelo at si Schumacher, sabi ko pano nangyari yun? Then nilipat nanaman ng channel. Kala ko wala na talagang Ferrari sa podium.

And then when I read formula1.com to see a Ferrari 1-2, hayuf! Magaling talaga...

Got to watch the replay at RPN tonight.

Great race, the best in a while. Medyo wide open yung race, nung una mukhang malakas din yung ibang kotse. Tapos basa pa yung track nung start.

Bilis ng mga ferrari nung huli, they were about 2 seconds a lap faster than the rest.

Those bridgestones are really what won the championship for ferrari this season, that and plenty of luck that went their way.

[usokpower]

it only shows that no other team can match the ferrari pace YET.

Grabe! ang labo talga.

Whats wrong with bmw? Why cant they correct their usual symptom? (gear box problems) since 2002 pa problemado na sila sa gear box hangang ngayon ganun pa rin.

palagay ko pit stops strategy ang key ng ferrari wins..pero sa driver din talaga..nabalaho si alonso sa buhangin kalagitnaan ng race..!ang sama ng loob nya..!

ferrari ancoraaa..!

[karlbo]

ferrari sually have 3-4 pit stops lang di ba?... ferrari mechanics have done a great job calculating the gas consumptions and how many laps it could handle within the race... and most of all a record of 9.2secs for a pit stop... galing galing..... :D

Madaya nga eh, ayaw siyang itulak ng Italian marshals kahit tumatakbo pa ang makina niya and kahit pwede sa rules dahil ahead si alonso kay schumi.. pero nung si schumi yung nasa gravel trap last year in the same situation, tinulak siya ng german marshalls and thats why siya yung nag champion last year from kimi by a few points

Kahit na itulak, wala na din, mas mabilis na yung ferrari ng stage na yun. Points na lang habol niya(or 3rd place at the most) kung nakabalik siya sa race.

lakas talaga ng ferrari.

15th place to 2nd, hanep!

Pero in fact, Schumi can take the win pero dahil he already have won the season - nag giveway na lang sya siguro.

lufetttt talaga, man and machine.

yup, wala na rin siyang habol for a podium finish. the hondas of button and sato are just seconds behind schumi.

galing ni pareng BARI. :D

ang labo naman ng rule na yon, regarding pushing the car when it is stuck. i think the rule should be that there should be no outside intervention on the car unless in pit lane. if ht edriver can't get himself unstuck, then malas na dapat yan.

better this way so there will be less extraneous variables.
