Here we are in Brazil!

YTD 12-14-2 (will try to finally go ahead from our bad start this season)


What an exciting race it should be!

Ferrari have already announced Michael will use the new F2002 while Barichello will drive last year's car F2001, in front of his fans. I'm kinda surprise a little bit. I thought both would use the new car or at least, let Barrichello use it while he is at home. I guess "sir" Michael still wants to show who's the boss!
:director:

Last year, Williams were fast because of Michelin tyres on heated tracks. Weather should be warm so watch Williams again. They are so far the second best team after Ferrari. Mc Laren had a disastrous debut and have to get back on track soon! Firestone announced new set of tires specially made for heated conditions and will be use this weekend so let's see if Ferrari will hold on!

I was at first tempted to take Barrichello in qualifying match ups vs Ralf because he is at home but Williams cars are really good at Interlagos track and Rubens will use last year's car so less power than the new one and with 2 straight lines... it could be a disadvantage for him vs engines of Williams BMW. If he had the F2002...

Will look at the qualifying match ups as soon as i have enough data to post. HOWEVER, i might even not be able to cap that GP weekend at all because as some of you know, my girl is waiting our first baby and she's due in 3 days... :toast:

Let's hope she (and the baby) can hang on til sunday pm!

See you later guys!

there will be no more Brazilian GP 2002, but you can have another girl.

 

[1837]

LOL You're so funny guys!

I've already asked my fiance to name the baby (if it's a boy)the name of sunday's winner and she slapped me in the face! :brows: She told me if i would be talking about the race i'm missing while she is on work then i should get another dentary insurance program!!! Ah woman... LOL

 

[hoss]

One standout bet for me so far -McNish v Irvine race match Evens with Ladbrokes How can they have Irvine favourite in that Jaguar! Toyota were 2nd fastest thru' the malayasian spped trap + speed matters here! 4pts bet

2 early qualfying matches

Salo / Fisichella 6/5 Surrey
Massa / Sato 8/13 Surrey 2pts on each

Season so far 9/7/1 +15.4pts

PS a bit of interesting reading for you - figures are best time in qualifying for each time vs the year before - no surprise at the 3 times sliding backwards!!

Team Comparison
Team Australia Malaysia Avg Difference
Renault - 2.325s - 0.741s - 1.533s

Arrows - 0.460s - 0.590s - 0.525s

PS you wouldn't call him HeinzHarald would you?
:nono:

First qualifying match ups:

Ralf +125 over montoya Bet365usa (1 unit)

Strictly a value play here where Ralf has a good record in Brazil and i expected more an even line so +125 is a nice gift!

For baby's name, I'm between Jarno Button Panis or Jacques Pablo Schumacher.... :moon:

 

[Frogy]

All the best for the baby.

I'm sending good vibs to madame 1837
I'm happy for the both of you.

 

[1837]

Merci mon ami!

 

[djv]

I am lurking. :moon:

 

[1837]

Wow! I hate to bet on an line like this but the value is NOW believe me! Odds to win the pole : M.Schum -125 Royal or 4/5 at WSEX and go the bank to collect 200$ First practice and Michael with the new F2002 is 1 second ahead of his brother Ralf!!! Don't think anybody will catch him for the pole!:yawn:

 

[1837]

I forgot, it is a 2 units play for that prop play!

 

[djv]

And I shall do as you say. Happy Easter. And good luck being a Daddy. I got a hunch you will make a good one.

 

[1837]

Thanks DJV and enjoy your Easter too! (By the way, i think my fianc?e will make it til after the race! )

 

[yepitsme]

last years pole was M.SCHUMACHER Ferrari / Bridg. 1'13"78,
so we are still allmost 2 seconds behind that time.

good luck

 

[1837]

Now than M. Schum is now fifth after the second practice session you might get a better odds on him to win the pole. (should have waited a little bit). First day of practice is generally for race set up, not qualifying, and with what i know about the F2002, i'm REALLY confident about a pole for tomorrow. Anyhow, good luck and back later for qualifying match ups!

 

[yepitsme]

Qual:

Button over Trulli +100 1 unit
R?ikk?nen over Coulthard +225 1 unit
McNish over Bernoldi -133 3 units

my horrible f1 stats will follow later

 

[Huckleberry]

A little something for the effort.....

A little something for the effort.....

It's not much, but it should at least buy a box of diapers. Congrats on the impdending addition to the family 1837.:toast: ....anyhow, posting up at 365 and using you as a referral.....what do I have to do to get you a little cash? I emailed them for info as well. Thanks.

 

[1837]

Huckle, thanks a lot! Ask Jack my e-mail and i'll tell you what to do!

 

[Huckleberry]

1837. Ok. Cool. Still waiting for reply from Jack w/ your email. As soon as I get it, we'll get the ball rolling.

 

[hoss]

Additions for qualifying: Adding -

7pts pts (in addition to earlier 2) Massa to beat Sato 4/7 Surreysports - fancied it anyway + Sato has been docked fastest qualy lap for pit lane infringement - lump on.

2pts Trulli to beat Button 5/4 Stan James, prepared to ignore Trullis time today + he's the quicker in qualy for me

Best of luck to all!
