weird race ey logbook
from the delayed start to
the safety car start, twice pa lang yun
in history of GP, to the premature ending of the race.

nice action packed race, i think the drivers were too aggressive
sa curva de sol or turn 3, but i guess they are paid to be aggressive

naging man eating wall yung curva de sol he..he

kimi is lucky, alonso was luckier
did you see how fast he was going at the debris
i wonder how did he not see that, with marshalls waving the flags
come to think of it fisi at kimi went by but they slowed down.

fisi was unlucky, DC mas more unlucky
if he did not pit that last lap of his
sana 1-2 for mclaren

**logbook** · April 9th, 2003 03:14 PM

wierd race indeed....

jv was criticizing a lot of drivers for being "crazy". i guess he was referring to the over-aggressiveness nga of the drivers given the conditions....and alonso's antics with the yellow flags

sabi daw ni alonso kausap nya team nya over the radio, papasok daw cya pits on that lap and talking about tyre choices...too busy on the phone to notice the yellow flags? :roll:

the gp was ruled by the conditions and the safety car! :mrgreen: i guess it would have been a whole lot crazier kung natuloy pa yung race.....stoddart claims that minardi could have been on the podium or even have won it! :lol:

A chaotic 700th GP.

Since you've mentioned phone, did you notice that idiot marshal half-heartedly kicking the debris to the side of the track while talking on his freakin' cellphone? What an unbefitting sight. Talk about safety concerns, hehe!

About the race stopping incident, reports say that Alonso saw the yellow flags 3 or 4 turns, but he was not expecting so many debris in the middle of the track. When he wanted to react it was already too late.

It was Alonso's mistake, but then again he's still young and hungry and definitely learned his lesson. Good thing he's doing fine.

Well, rules are rules. That's what they said after Kimi's drive thru penalty at Oz... kaya quits lang, hehe!

hindi pa pala tapos ang laban!

wag naman sana....

And also Schuey contests that Kimi should only earn half-points because the race did not actually go three-quarter distance. Crap... that's five points off!

**Alfalfameister** · April 10th, 2003 08:59 AM

Actually, I thought about it nga. The red flag was shown when Alonso hit Weber's tire. Fisichella was long gone by then. He may have already crossed the Start-Finish line when the red flag was waved. Which means that Fisi may have really won the race.

As for Schumacher's statement... well, I'm a Schumi fan myself, but I think he's being a self-righteous prick... He may be correct, but he's not being righteous. Self-righteous would be the apt term.

Bumabaliktad ang mundo :!: talo Ferrari di na sila nakaka 1-2 finish. Maybe the last race was a wake-up call for Ferrari. Sayang nagkaproblems pa c Barichello, 1st na sana

**RA168E** · April 10th, 2003 11:23 PM

Fisi might be in the right place, at the right moment and might well deserve it. I'd be glad if he does FINALLY get his long awaited first win. But it's a shame he couldnt celebrate it on the top step of the podium and I'm sure this is not how he wants to earn his 1st victory

As for Kimi, I can live with him losing a few points. Atleast it doesn't hurt his championship that much and I'm sure McLaren will have other victories.

As for Schuey......... :roll:

**logbook** · April 11th, 2003 12:58 PM

ang labo ni shumi....

una sabi nya si fisi panalo (well, undertandable naman e...magulo talaga yung race and everyone is entitiled to their opinion)

then, half points ang gusto nya...napaisip na ako dun e....minus points agad to all teams who finished in the points (hehe, magulo ba?). that would mean bababa ang lead ni kmi and mclaren to all the other teams (mas pronounced kse yung points difference e).

...pero teka, DNF both ferraris a.....so most gain sila from the changes na mangyayari. tsk, tsk, tsk..... :roll: :roll: :roll:

**B16ba-type-RSiR** · April 11th, 2003 03:19 PM

IMHO so far the new rules make the races more unpredictable.....adding more spectacle to the sport....but it has some drawbacks as well if pit-driver...communication was allowed i think the accident with Fernando Alonso could've been avoided...don't you think??:D

**RA168E** · April 12th, 2003 03:51 AM

A decision has been made.

**splerdu** · April 12th, 2003 07:47 PM

my thoughts

1. nice win for Fisichella and Jordan
2. great sportsmanship by Raikkonen and McLaren
3. sad for Mark Webber
4. what a p1ssant M.Schumacher is!
5. why is williams so slow? after all they have a new car while McLaren and Ferrari are using the old ones...

**logbook** · April 13th, 2003 12:10 AM

like what most racers say "oh, well...that's racing":mrgreen:

i agree with your thoughts splerdu....

oh well, at least leading pa rin mclaren and kimi :mrgreen: when is that mp4/18 coming out??? im very curious on what they've been up to.... :roll:

**RA168E** · April 13th, 2003 05:29 AM

Congratulazioni, Giancarlo... hehe!

Splerdu: I couldn't agree with you more.

As for Williams, the old adage remains valid: " The new ones will always be beaten by the last of the old, atleast at first".

Logbook: I hope it won't be later than Austria. I'm also glad that the decision didn't hurt Kimi and McLaren that much.

**logbook** · April 14th, 2003 02:56 PM

i hope that giancarlo will get a chance to celebrate on the podium come san marino gp. swerte nya nasa italy... homegrounds :lol:

on other news, it seems that ferrari is still having a few kinks with the F2003-GA. i dunno but that car gives me the jeepers... :roll:

roll on the MP4/18 !!! :mrgreen:

**squala** · April 16th, 2003 11:51 PM

My own insights for the race.

1. Giancarlo's lucky win was very well deserved. He's such a good driver but hasn't won any race in the past. A blessing for Jordan too, whose team almost went bankrupt and might have not been able to join this season.

2. Alonso's shunt was careless. He continued driving aggressively through the debris, which was actually needless because it was yellow-flagged in that corner.

3. McLaren gained points again as Kimi and David finished 2nd and 4th. Way above my expectations, because I anticipated that McLaren will still be no match to Williams and Ferrari, and that Renault will close the gap between them.

4. Sorry loss for Rubens again, who hasn't won the race in his home race. In more than 12 tries, he has only finished there once.

5. F1 greats Juan and Michael spun off the track. Montoya was not able to coax an ill-handling car on the wet and Schumacher proved that he's not the ideal man during such conditions.
