    There have been no fatalities in F1 since Imola '94. Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna both dead in one weekend. R.I.P.
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    You may be right about not being second best driver, but your reasons for stating it are a little flawed. With poor brakes, to finish only 21 seconds ahead of Alonso and 47 seconds ahead of Ralf Schumacher obviously the guy must be some sort of dummy.
    Unless the brake problem was a freak incident, shouldn't both F2004s have suffered from it?

    edit: remember Schumi's car was heavy filled aswell...

    The cars have a "turbo boost" system similar to KITT's, allowing them to jump 15 feet in the air at the touch of a button, thus avoiding any children

    It takes an extra 12 feet to stop if your just 5mph over the 30mph limit and i dread to think what those monsters could do to some old lady who dropped her joint.

    And what about lanes for bicycles, I feel it would be unsafe for them to ride on these busy roads.

    It is well known that Schumacher gets the better treatment and rightly so, he is the number 1 driver and get treated as such. He is a better driver than Barrichello, but so are several other people. That&#39;s just my point. Would you say that Barrichelo is the second best F1 driver just now, because I wouldn&#39;t. The car is that good that he runs second to Schumacher, ahead of people who I think are better drivers than him.
    So Schuey gets better treatment, but Barrichello isn&#39;t the second best F1 driver? Even though he was pushing Schuey until he developed a brake problem?

    You say he was pushing him. Do you think that if both cars were working well and well clear of the crowd, he would pass him, because I don&#39;t. In fact he would slow down to let him pass, even though there are no team orders as we all know.

    The Ferrari F1 is designed to make Schumacher the world champion. I have no problem with that, it&#39;s what they are there for. However I really do not believe that Barichello is the 2nd best F1 driver in the world. I believe it is the car which keeps him there.

    The BMW Williams FW25 does 125mph-0 in 1.9 seconds. It stops in just 55 metres. Try doing that in your average road car
