Sure, just rub it in! 
Have you been DuMans (LeMans) - now that is a party!

I was a HUGE GP fan in the early nineties when Mansell, Senna and Prost fought it out.
I am SO going to enjoy this.
Alonso has poll position and Shuey is in third place for the start. I'm going to be at Stowe Corner where they will be decelerating from about 200mph at the end of Hanger Straight then cornering at 110mph at about 3g.
Maybe Le Mans next

WOW good for you. And i kinda like the old fashion silverstone circuit (one of my favorites). It's indeed a speed circuit and imo the setup of the car here is crucial.
Good for Heidfeld and Villeneuve that reached the superpol but too bad and i am very dissapointed that they finished it on the last 2 places. Hmmm...maybe smth went wrong? They reached a better time for the qualify for the superpol and yet at the end of the superpol they couldn't manage not even better than that?! Weird...when the car is at it's max capacity, 2-3 laps before the superpol finish. Anyway overall pleased since this is ineed the 1st year for BMW Sauber. From next year we'll see only BMW without Sauber and then we'll see what's what. IMHO they have to get slightly better drivers. Alonso for BMW would be a dream come true. Too bad he already signed.
Huraaay for Alonso for the polposition...anyone care to bet Alonso will finish in the 1st place?!
I really fear for Kimi...i think he'll have more badluck (accident or car failure) that's how i see it.
For Schumy i don't care as long as he stays away from the top 3 positions. Schumy is going down baby....

Kimi's struggling in there
In vane...Alonso made mincemint out of both Schumy and Kimi. Good for Kimi he was able to keep Fisichela off his back. Anyway not important right now.
In this race one could see easily how much key role has the driver since both Alonso and Fisichela have pretty much the same cars and look how Alonso performed. Also the difference between Kimi and Montoya. I for one am glad that Heidfeld managed to be as fast as Montoya (wich however you put it, you have to addmint that Montoya has a slightly better car in his advantage) but because of the error in the pits Heidfeld exited the pits after Montoya passed him (bummer 15 seconds is alot for a pit). Either way overall good results for BMW team if we take into consideration the fact that this is after all their 1st year of competition but heads-up for the next season when they will become a single team dumping Sauber. As i said before i do bealive they need better drivers. Pleased with the fact that BMW was neck and neck with Mclaren (in the Montoya vs Heidfeld dispute).
PS: BRAVO FOR ALONSO!!! Respect...
