Btw, no wonder Mercedes had to lay off that guy, apparently they're short on money since they got lots of additional F1 drivers on their pay roll lately. ... Zonta, Fisico ... :-) Jan

Yeah, great race... That dude running around on the track costing McLaren their victory, was an x Mercedes employe pissed that he got fired. So that was his way of showing Mercedes his gratitude :) He even ran around on the track (further up though) at 13.59 with a banner. Couldt make out what it said, but probably some not so nice words :) Now why did'nt they lock up that dude after the first insident ???

Yeah. Rubinho sure deserved it. And it's not a bad day to be a Finn either. Of course, if it was Mika that cried, certain tifosi would be all laughs for that "crying Finn" again. If that one guy hadn't wandered onto the track, McLaren would have won easily. But shit happens, and this time Rubinho got lucky. A streak of luck combined with awesome driving. Well done! -lark-

I'm not a Ferrari fan, but even I have to admit that 'Rubino' (who lives in my home city of Cambridge, UK) deserved the win in Germany. A magnificent drive from 18th to win. He was brillient in overtaking, brillient in the wet on 'slicks' and was there for his team after Shumi had gone out on the first lap. I didn't mind your tears at the end of the race. A big win for a big hearted guy! Alan

Thanks bud, I had not watched the race yet and you put the winner in the damn header. On Sun, 30 Jul 2000 16:10:52 +0100, "Alan Coates" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I think Mclaren should sue him actually. -- [email hidden]

Well I learned a very long time ago that this will always happen regardless of prior warnings. So it is your fault for reading the NG before you watched the race. Live and learn I guess. -- [email hidden]

"Mike Blackmore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Here, Here, Superb, I'm a Mclaren fan but the guy drove his heart out > had a little bit of luck and made my day : ) Yes he did. After staying out in slicks (such as they are) while everyone ran rain tires, he certainly deserved to win. I was very interested in the fact that the Mclaren drivers said it was totally impossible for them to drive the car in slicks and they had to change their tires. -- [email hidden]

I think Fisichella was already on his brakes when Schumacher crossed his path, on the slowmo-replay I could see his left hand flicking the paddle behind the wheel Karl Zosel wrote: > > If that one guy hadn't wandered onto the track, McLaren would have won > > easily.

The thing is Greg that Barrichello's slick would just cool down in the wet stadium but the Mclaren boys wets would have been shagging themselves in the dry. Or are you alluding to the fact that Barrichello may have had some electronic help ;-) Regards Mike On Sun, 30 Jul 2000 18:39:52 -0500, "Greg Cisko" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Sure looked like he could have avoided the accident from the on-board, didn't it? Jan. =--- Karl Zosel wrote... > IF Fisco had used his brakes, Schumacher would have won.

It doesn't hurt to let the original poster know about his faux pas so he can "live and learn", but I guess you're right, there'll always be someone to step up to plate and take his place. :( Bendito;

"........deserved the win in Germany" I absolutely disagree. If not for the safety cars and restart there is no way he could have caught up with the Mclarens. this race was just random chance for all the drivers, just look at all those freak accidents etc. but on the otherhand , I cried with Rubens when he was on the podium. I now understand the emotions that go with a win / also the emotions that went with a lost ( Mika ) Alan Coates <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:VCXg5.2179$[email hidden]... > I'm not a Ferrari fan, but even I have to admit that 'Rubino' (who livesin > my home city of Cambridge, UK) deserved the win in Germany.

Looks to me like Schumacher forced Fisichella almost off the track (according to the replay views I saw)

If you want to pick a fight, meet you in rec.autos.sport.f1 :-) Mika left Schmacker standing. With David's help, of course. Payback is a bitch and then some. -lark-

Perhaps he didnt practise enough driving with GPL/GP3 - so he would know how a real racecar performs? :) Seriously, I doubt that he would waste his fine start position just to hazzle Schumi. should/could/would......anyways, it shall be interesting to see the next race. Shumacher must be nervous about the first corner by now :) -TH

But now that you mention it, maybe the FIA should check that Ferrari :-) It was clear the Mclaren boys thought there was no way they could drive in the wet part of the track without wet tires. -- [email hidden]
