Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Well, I didn't predict today's winner, but I'm glad that he did get it, and that Alonso got the title. Was worried that Jenson was gonna try something stupid and end up taking himself and Alonso out, leaving Massa to suddenly have "unexpected technical problems" thereby handing the win to Schuey.
Saying that, Schuey did do well to claw back as much as he did after his little set back

It was a very good race, there was some excellent driving, I was so pleased that Button got a podium place from a p14 qualifying position - Martin Brundle's exposition on different driving styles may have explained why Button managed that, on a bumpy, multisurface track, where other drivers did not

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
After Saturdays qualifying, I thought the only winner would be Massa, with Schumacher right behind him, then if alonso got into trouble or DNF, Schumacher would fly past massa to take the champion. Schumacher, although i am not a great admirer of the guy, drove a brilliant race and deservered to finish where he was.
I think Alonso was the more consistent driver between both of them so am glad he took the championship.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Well after several year of ITV P**s poor coverage (The Japanese GP was the final nail in the coffin) going to yet another advert and coming back to find that Schuey had car problems and was pulling off the track.
I will NOT be watch another GP on ITV unless they stop showning ad during the race. I mean the hour befor the GP there is one advert but as soon and they get ready for the parade lap adverts come fast and furious.
There is on average 20 mins of adverts per race, nearly a third of it.
Plus putting the qualifying on ITV4 (Why didn't they cancel that piece of cr@p x-factor), luckily I can get ITV 4.
So from now on I'm 100% A1GP on Sky Sports.
PS
Does anybody know the name of the company that you complain to about TV companies (website/contact details)?

I thought that Jenson made a big mistake by not trying to take Alonso. Alonso would most likely have let him past rather than ending up having a coming together which took them both out of the race.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Yeah, definitely... I'd have done the same in his position.
Actually, in his position I'd be sh*tting myself and crying for my Mummy

And apart from that, it was yet another example of why we need one set of film crews, production staff and a director for the season. The (presumably local) director was appalling, ignored 3/4 of Shoemaker's amazing climb back through the pack, most of the significant pit stop exits and half of the pit stops had no stopwatch running on them. Dreadful.
But a stunning end to the race season, thoroughly edge-of-seat stuff.
Not sure about this freeze on development rule that's coming in now though.
