Much as I dislike some of his driving (as with Senna), I can't help but recognise his ability (as with Senna). Next question: who's gonna drive for McLaren next season, assuming Martin Brundle's right and it won't be Mika? -- "After all, a mere thousand yards - such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

A good job indeed. Maybe now that the championship challenge is over, we'll see balls-out, no holds barred racing, instead of racing for points. A good drive from Hakkinnen too, pity that the Hungaroring is too tight to challenge properly. That Williams sure had some straight line speed on it ;) Rafe Mc On Sun, 19 Aug 2001 17:03:26 +0200, "Joachim Blum" <[email hidden]> wrote: >Congrats to Michael Schumacher and Ferrari for the title.

i very much doubt it - he is embedded into BAR much further than most drivers, and he will probably stay for a long long time. besides, why move to mclaren, when williams and ferrari will be the top two teams for the next 5 or so years?
It will be Kimi R�ikk�nen. "David Buttery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's better to be in the one of the top 3 teams and have a chance for a podium *every* race :) Nick G wrote: > > i very much doubt it - he is embedded into BAR much further than most > drivers, and he will probably stay for a long long time. besides, why move > to mclaren, when williams and ferrari will be the top two teams for the next > 5 or so years? -- Jason Monds http://www.proracingclub.com - Pro Racing Club!

I agree to some extent, but when has a BAR beat a Mclaren this year. I'm not sure, but I would think the number would be very low. Even if Mclaren doesn't improve, they will still be a solid third. The Honda engine just has not improved to the extent that it can win a championship. It's not even as good as last years Ferrari engine, in my opinion.

There is just no car that can keep up with them in a straight line. I just hope Ralf score's more wins to pass DC, I can't stand DC!
