Aloha, I haven't been out to the islands in a couple of years, but you
surely do live in a lovely spot from which to criticize my favorite driver.
In all honesty, I like all the lads, but I am partial to Juan. If I might
ask without being argumentative, what is it about him you dislike? To save
time, let me list what I believe are positive attributes. Please feel free
to disparage.......

1. He's very aggressive. I think this is requisite in a race driver.
2. He's very fast. If the BMW engine didn't blow with regularity, he'd
have won several more races (like Austria).
3. He's capable of winning with a slower car. I think this is a mark of
a champion.
4. He gives 100%.
5. His narcissism is minimal. When he blew the lead in Malaysia (???)
"shit happens" wasn't the comment of a super-ego.
6. He has excellent taste in women.

Best JD

P.S. I lived on Oahu + Maui as a boy. I frequent the Big Island whenever
I can. Where are you?

One side says one person is at fault. The other side says the other person is

I dislike Montoya and even I am objective enough to see that he was the car in
front at the time of impact. Note the qualifier in that phrase....."AT THE TIME
OF IMPACT."
The cars involved have the nose in front, followed by the front wing(s), then
the front tire. Schumi hit JPM in the tire, with his wing. Look at the film,
even Bob will not be able to argue that point.
In order for MS's wing to hit JPM's tire, the wing of his car would have had to
be even with the tire. For that to occur, MS MUST have been behind JPM by
anywhere from a foot, to maybe 3 foot.
I dont like JPM, and I hate having to defend him, but the physical facts do not
lie. He was ahead of MS by a little less than a meter at the time of impact.

Dammit, when is Porsche going to get involved in F1?

I found it kind of disturbing how personal most people here took their arguments.
It quickly escalates into personal insults, and irate reactions, and I really
do not see a reason for it and find little reason to read the group.

Schumacher's tires seemed bad. Monty was all over him and got on the outside.
Gave him enough room, but for whatever reason (tires?) Michael's car oversteered
into Montoya's.

Michael lost out. Montoya gained time, as he would have lost more time being
stuck behind Schumacher for the rest of the race.

But whatever. Next weekend is another race. My life is unaffected by who wins
the race/WDC/whatever. Sure I feel happy/sad/whatever, but to get as irate
as some people get here is unreal to me. My advice is go outside (It's summer!!),
look at the pretty girls, and enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass.

Aloha,
If you will note, I was being objective, not using personal tastes to taint my
opinion of the impact.
I don't have to like the guy to see that he was not at fault. I am hoping that
others will look at the wreck itself, and use that for the basis of their
comments, not what color the cars were painted.
To the poster who asked what part of Hawaii I am in, I'm not. I am in Oklahoma.
I say aloha because I wish I was in Hawaii.

Take Care,
Larry

Well, most people who do not like JPM are the ones who have forgotten
what racing used to be 10-20 years ago. You know, when people like
Arnoux, Mansell, Piquet, G Villeneuve, Senna and other maniac drivers
roamed the race tracks. Nowdays though, with him arriving on the scene
everyone is shell shocked, because the bastard *does race* and we're
just not used to that sort of brutality..

FW's comment on F1-Live says it all.

I thought Juan Pablo's overtaking manoeuvre was the sort that we

should be done, you know: 'watch out when Juan's about'. It's tough to
call on Michael and I am not gloating, but few people sadly overtake
where Juan Pablo ever dares to overtake. Television needs racing, a
lot of racing, a lot of overtaking, not 'after you mate'.

Actally IIRC, he is nowhere near Hawaii. He is just using that "aloha"
thing as a pick up line around here. Careful. ;-p

All he needs apparently is a car to be a second off the pace to make an
incredible, amazing, breathtaking pass.

Unfortunately RB wasn't, and JPM sat behind him for 35 laps.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Desperate nitwits. RS beats him in every way a driver is measured. Keep
living in denial though. Three years now for you.

When you compare and contrast with the comments on the previous race and
Ralf's failure to have a go at Michael, that is a very striking comment.

Does anyone think we will see Ralf still in the Williams next year?

You obviously don't belong here. That is far to sane an outlook on life.
