Re: Friday free practice session 1

Does anyone know if Montoya's engine will be replaced? Btw, that's the reason of his poor result in Bahrain.

 

[bum-man]

According to Ron it will not be changed.

 

[PanterroR]

According to Ron it will not be changed.

Thanks, bum-man. I don't know if i should be happy or PO because of that.

They better replace that engine!

 

[Zafiro]

Schumi, kimi and alonso are the top three candidates for this race.

 

[Carbon]

Schumi, kimi and alonso are the top three candidates for this race.

Well with Schumacher possibly changing engines, that may not be true. Obviously those are the 3 best drivers in the series at the moment, though.

 

[siko]

Those are the qual results posted on formula1.com... but I thought MS and some other had an engine change... so shouldn't they lose 10 spots?

yep shumi will be 10places down.. kimi cought trafic on his last run..
and alonso had problem with some fuel thingy.. with that said..this will be a damn interesting race..

PS
only 7h to go

 

[Zonda]

It will be down to reliability this weekend, really interesting. Kimi should be unstoppable if that engine lasts.

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Just a quick off-topic question. We see the Ferrari boys arriving in the Maserati... I'm wondering, what do Alonso and Fisci' arrive in ?
