And I hope that BMW improves and get to the same level of Ferrari and McLaren....then there will be 6 favourites for championship instead of 4....

How cool would it be if Kubica won the championship?

I always dreamed of going to Sunrise Festival....I´ve seen the video of one edition, and it seemed awesome thru the video...Eddie Halliwell jumping on the crowd, Gielen, Galen Behr..:super::super:....

But now I´ve heard the truth...:cry:....and will think twice before going...LOL....

I´d love it....although I´m crazy about Ferrari, I honestly hope that a different team wins as soon as possible....for the last 10 years, only Ferrari and McLaren won championships....

But before that it was Williams for like 6 years... so it cycles.

I'd rather see a team named "Sauber - BMW" win than just "BMW" though. I'm a little uncomfortable with this "factory" team trend, makes F1 seem less of a sport, and more of a business. I like that Williams and McLaren are able to partner with manufacturers, and how it changes every couple years. I don't want to look back at the championship table and see nothing but BMW, BMW, Toyota, Renault, Toyota, BMW having won it... I want to see Red Bull - Ferrari, Williams - Ford, McLaren - Peugeot, Williams - Honda, Williams - Honda, etc...

You sure have a point there...
And that´s something I think we all F1 fans don´t like, the sport becoming business...

I do miss a lot those crazy races and racers, like Gilles, Prost, Piquet...they used to race for passion only....I remember Gilles used to live in a trailer...he didn´t care about the money.....

Yeah, all about being fast and going fast. None of this team "orders", or racing for points, saving the "engine" for the next race... the current ones are all robot drivers who never lose their cool. Kimi is the known as the "Iceman". He's fast, admittedly, but isn't as much fun to watch as Alesi and Mansell used to be. Or Zanardi in CART.

I'm not a fan of the current management of F1, Mosely and Ecclestone need to step aside for people who are less concerned with making their own money, and more concerned with making F1 about speed and sport again.

Mansell was great....I remember that race when he was first place,and in the last lap ha missed the gear and the engine failed...:lol:
For me, that "era" was the best F1 has ever seen....Senna,Prost,Piquet and Mansell almost killing themselves for places and wins....

And a little before that, that awesome fight between René Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve in Dijon,79....the best scene I´ve ever seen in my life....:bow:

About Mosley and Ecclestone,yeah they suck...but it was in a certain way an inevitable thing to happen...F1 generates A LOT of money...so someone would sometime move things to profit direction....if it weren´t Mosley & Ecclestone, it would be someone else...
 
Well,I´m gonna have lunch now...

:hug: for everyone....:wave:

I agree, I think the 80s were F1's time of greatest competition. Even 1988 was great, despite McLaren winning 15 of 16 races, cause Prost and Senna were so fierce.

I've never seen the footage of the Arnoux/Villeneuve fight, but I do want to see it. Probably the race I most want to see though, is Senna in the Toleman at Monaco in 1985.

You're right, someone else would be making money off it, but I'd at least hope that the other people would recognize the spirit of F1 and try to keep it. M & E seem to have lost that. It's a sad state of affairs when the cars in lower series are faster than F1 cars, and when rally is the cutting edge of racing technology.
