 i don't say is the best rookie only for that!
For some weeks ago the commenters say that he is the best rookie , and is breaking some records!(he is the only that finish all the races this year)
He got the 3º place yesterday..ok it wasn't his fault that michelin couldn't put the right tyres in the race.
Is for that reasons and many more that i say he is the best rookie ever.

Fred, I don't agree on that point. The best rookie ever was Jacques Villeneuve. Obviously, he had a proper car to make P1 on his debut. Also, Fernando Alonso made an astonishing season in 2001 driving a poor Minardi. There're a lot of examples. Kimi in Sauber, Jarno Trulli in 1997...

Minardi leader goes ballistic on FIA
I found this on a racing forum...this was ripped from the world TV feed of yesterday's event. WARNING: Foul language.
Say what you want about his team, but Paul Stoddard knows what's up.

well abou,
what I meant is that, yes, although it's NOT ferrari's fault at all, I would've liked them to have helped find a solution, (they would've had the advantage given the michelin shit tires anyway), if 9/10 teams support something to help race the indy gp, well ferrari could've helped as well, they refused instead, believe me, it's not charity I agree, but considering that ferrari's biggest market is in the US, well, help give the US a good show, ferrari was meant to win anyways as their bridgestone tires were better, tehy just ended up winning by a farce and destroyed a chance in teh future for F1 in the US |

Goodwood Festival of Speed
Wel after the negative things flying around here about F1 & the whole Michelin tyre issue, its time for something a little more positive... 
I was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed yesterday. It was a great day: lots of fun, lots of cars too look at, touch!! & see in action... I'm still sorting through my pictures I took but here's a lil taster for now!!!
This Ferrari 246 was originally built in 1968 as 1600cc Formula 2 Dino & was then fitted with a 2.4 litre four-camshaft V6 engine to compete in the Tasman championship in New Zealand & Australia. This is the car that Derek Bell finished fourth in in 1969...
This is the two Ferrari's (Bell's & Amon's together) from Pukekohe: Round One on 4th January 1969 where they finished fourth & first respectively...

hey, don't be angry about going off the F1 topic but what about WRC?
I love this sport, I also like F1 very much and I believe in both of them there's so much passion and dynamics. My favourite rally racer is still Marcus Gronholm, but lately something's got into him and he's way behind Sebastian Loeb, who's winning just like Marcus did 4 a long long time (like Schumacher in F1). Gotta buy meself WRC4 for PS2

saw the aussie show of motor-racing, RPM, who gave the total wrap regarding the USGP farce.
not only did they have the opinion of the legendary Murray Walker, Valentino Rossi and Mark Webber (the latter pre-recorded), Mark gave some interesting facts:
he said "i wanted to race, we all wanted to race, but some mole [wanker] down at Michelin decided to say that their tyres are too shit to race with, so we couldnt race.
Frank (Williams) was fuming.... its unprecedented and is because of this... Formula 1 in the US of A will never take off."
and i would like bernie ecclestone's head served on a teflon platter, not a silver one. |

And I would also like the Michelin Man drugged, blindfolded, and sent to an acupuncture clinic. Seriously, after the USGP, I haven't looked at a Michelin ad in a remotely good way.
