spa2k Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 but still....its a risk worth taking, every fortnight when they race there lives are put at risk, and with the One set of Tyres per racing weekend the risks are increased anyway. ARGH 586088746[/snapback] I cannot believe the utter stupidity of that statement. How can anyones life be worth the risk for entertainment?? I would rather the race had been cancelled than the farce that is happening now however there is no point in putting peoples lives at risk.

metallithrax Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 One of the UK commentators just said "If Schumacher does a victory leap on the podium I will personally punch him" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miuku. Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I personally hoped only one or two cars would've finished, the final podium would've been fun to watch :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M/\TT Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Not a good day for F1 :( What a mess! I turned over when the race started. I feel sorry for everyone who went to watch it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daninku Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I wish that the 6 drivers at least do some type of protest. I;m not a fan of F1 but I was watching the game while I was eating, and was a fan when I was younger. But hey this is so annoying game :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemania Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I loved tiago's attitude on the podium, it was hilarous. He was going to celebrate no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00nta Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 What a shambles - imho the 'race' should never have started. I've been watching fans who have travelled from Mexico to see this - at least with a postponed race these fans could have had their ticket money refunded (OK so it's not going to recompense them for travel and accomodation costs, but it might help to leave a less bitter taste in the mouth).

dragon2611 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 starting the race with only 6 cars which lets face it wernt evenly matched was pointless and when the fans started thowring things it should have definatly been called off. very dangerous.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted June 19, 2005 Global Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2005 sad day indeed. Course I blame Michelin 100% on this one...they came unprepared and the viewers suffered. They should refund all the fans their money as they came to see a race not a practice session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 It is not complelely Michelins Fault because it is a track that they are unable to test on and they had re surfaced recently, but Bridgestones partner Firestone are the Indy 500 tire suppliers so they knew what the new track was like. In away I think the FIA are to blamme for not letting them but shercane in, because 9 of 10 agreed to race with it, and they could of raced just with out earning any points.

atomicski Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 this was crazy, at first my bro was like omg the race is already over, everyone is pitting. But then we saw that they all had to dropout. What exactly is a chicane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is a chicane? 586088941[/snapback] It's a movable barrier that they use to slow down high speed corners, they place it just before the corner to slow the vehicles down.

~clean Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Now that was a joke and realy highlights the problems in f1 behind the scenes. Solutions were presented and alot was going to be forfeted to allow the race to go on for the fans but the FIA and one team didnt want to let it happen. Next year could be good if this break away things goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasquez Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I feel ashamed & embarrassed... rules, politics, money & egos have pretty much killed F1. I have always been 50/50 about the breakaway championship, but after seeing what I did today, it could well be the way to go and the beginning of the end of F1 as we know it.

..Vector.. Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I feel the FIA should have allowed for the chicane to be put in place, even if the michelin runners were racing for no points... At least then the millions of people wathcing on tv and the people who paid for tickets and transport to get to the race would have had a proper race to watch :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00nta Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Maybe not a 'proper' race - but at least a more enjoyable spectacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
