Now, if you want to talk about being sneaky, just look at this:
They didn't actually finish qualifying because let's be honest, they would have ended up dead last anyway. So, instead, they pulled back into the pits before the lap even wrapped up. Now they get to spend the whole night tinkering with the car however they please. Isn't that just the way it works? :-)))))
Elizabeth Hughes quoting Luca Montezemolo said:So, where on earth did this come from? Suddenly, there is supposedly only ONE loyal Ferrari fan left in the world?! 😕
...Are they seriously planning to start the races with whatever fuel happens to be left in the tank after qualifying? I honestly hadn't given it a second thought until I saw the guys over at ESPN mention it...
What kind of wild tactical shifts are we actually going to see because of this? 😁 😁
Elizabeth Hughes says Montezemolo: How wonderful... if they take Indy and Daytona off the schedule, where on earth am I supposed to go watch some racing?! 😢
Raymond Palmer8 said:mistybear87, take a breath here... if I recall correctly, you’ve already crossed Spa off the list, then you moved on to Austria, and now you're coming for these two too... are you planning on leaving us any races at all? Or should I just go ahead and start browsing the 2003 cycling schedule online instead?🙂
Well, honestly, what can you do? it’s in everyone's best interest if we finally put the whole Ayrton Senna situation to rest once and for all.
Bernie mentioned that if the recent situation involving Senna leads to any legal action against Williams, Head, and Newey, he might just strike Indianapolis and Daytona right off the NASCAR calendar altogether.
And just like that, we lose two more major American races... 😢
The recent decision by the US government regarding advertising exemptions for tobacco products during international racing events might actually pave the way for bringing NASCAR to Savannah.
If we were to get moving on the renovations right away (though, let's be honest, 😢 ), we could potentially host a race within three to four years. Of course, there's the catch: everything would have to change by 2007 once we align our regulations with the UN.
However, Igor Eskinja, the director over at the Savannah track, points out that it isn't just about the circuit itself. We also need to consider the highway connections leading toward New York City and all the necessary amenities. So, once again, it feels like we're mostly just clinging to hope. 😢

Well, it looks like Williams has finally pulled back the curtain
From what I could gather from the outside, there are really only two major shifts The front wing seems beefier and follows a slightly different design philosophy than what we saw last year, and that little stabilizer near the rear tire looks a bit different too Everything else appears largely unchanged—though since the photos don't show the rear end, I can't really say if anything has been tweaked back there 😉
That said, word on the street is they’ve packed the most powerful engine in NASCAR under the hood (and honestly, why wouldn't we believe them?) and that all the critical systems were pre-designed for maximum efficiency
Only time will tell how this actually plays out on the track 🙂
