Alonso/Renault Win F1!!



GR7

  Shiny red R32


Probably, because Jenson Button used to have a V6 Clio when he drove for Renault, I can remember seeing an article about him in one of the Renault magazines a while back.

Alonso........genious!

forget raikkonen......hes useless.







LMAO. Yeah yeah, Alonso is good, but i dont see Raikkonen as useless. I think they are both good in their own way. And dont forget Monster Montoya. Looks like we are in for some vintage Formula one seasons ahead.

The King is Dead......Long live the King

raikkonen is so dull, must be the most boring bloke on the planet he makes nigel mansell look interesting
 


Raikkonen hasnt shone like he sould of. With the best designer Newey behind him he has the most advanced chassis on the grid, and isnt 80bhp down on the competition.

Hes not useless, but hes close to becomming a barichello or couthard soon, unless he either pick up asap or takes a few years to mature.

IMO, hes would make a w**k champion.
 


Yeah Raikkonen is sh*t thats why he is one point off Schumacher for the title. Real Sh*t!!!

And he has blown away Coulthard, who lets face it, isnt exactly slow. That Renault is a better car than alot of people think. I mean even Trulli looks good in it and i dont rate him much.
 


BenR -The McLaren MP4-17D is an "old" car, still good but not as good as the Renault. The Illmor/Mercedes engine is the only part better on the Mac. Come on.... Kimi is 2pts behind the best driver of all time in the best car of all time.

Go Renault!!

Couthard is parp..........

The only reason they are using the 17 is because there is no point swapping to the less reliable 18 when its only a fraction slower.

The Renault is fatastic, true the 111 deg engine is underpowered but the mechanical grip and aero simplicity is great. The rear suspension assembly has a shear plane which you can just about spot in the rear onboard vids. It handles far better than the Mclaren and williams........but they need to go back to a conventional engine design.

Mark My words the Fernando/Kimi battle will be stuff of legends like senna/prost

The recent power upgrade must have helped.

Ps: Ben was the 111deg engine designed for electromagnetic valve gear?
 


inded they are............the loss in power wasnt worth the 2-4mm lowering of the CoG.

It wasnt designed to run electro magnetic no.

Some refernce object for scale would be goo, as I imagine that is quite small.

I reckon I could squeeze that in to my little Clio.

Fair play indeed to Alonso and as for what car he drives it actually aint that good - hes got a lil Megane 3 door on Italian plates. Having said that, if you have the fun he does on the weekend Im sure he doesnt care what he pootles around Summertown in!!!)

Being an estate agent can certainly have its advantages (especially when Bernie, Eddie Jordan and Alonso all live within about a mile or so of each other and more importantly, my office!!!!)

Heres the BIQ question though, would Renault do a Special Edition Clio or something to celebrate?!!!! that would be bit cool.
