Brazilian GP

Looks like Ferrari is not going down without a fight!

I just hope the race remains clean! No dirty tricks.

20,000 RPM Ferrari 'screamer'
High revving Brazil special


Oct.16 (GMM) Ferrari, with Michael Schumacher at the wheel, cracked the elusive 20,000 rpm barrier with its Brazil-only engine specification whilst testing at Jerez last week.

Cosworth and Honda are believed to have also surpassed the impressive figure at one time or another, but - in pursuit of the constructors' championship and a final grand prix win for the retiring German racer - the red team reportedly intend to regularly run the V8 past 20,000 revs in Sao Paulo this weekend.

"Because their engine must only last for one race, I can imagine that 20,000 is a realistic figure," Toyota's former engine boss, Norbert Kreyer, said.

Spain's 'Marca' newspaper, meanwhile, applauded Schumacher after he dominated proceedings last week at his last ever pre-grand prix test at Jerez.

"It is a good job for Alonso that the championship is basically decided," the newspaper wrote, "because if it was not, every alarm bell at Renault would now be ringing."

'Kicker', however, thinks Schumacher's Brazilian task for an eighth and final world title is distinctly unlikely, as the magazine referred to it as 'Mission Impossible 8'.

If Sato does what he usually does this should be an awsome race!

Forza Ferrari

So what? Btw, tell me, how many overtakes on M$ have you seen from 2001-2004, except Montoya's many...? Had to ask you that if you don't mind...

Re: Brazilian GP

Haha, No one drinks Fosters, you most likely never heard of it but we all drink Tooheys. Instead of looking we should go to a pub and get on the tune mate!

Heard for that beer, but (unfortunately) never tried it... Foster's is one of my favorite beers.

During the day we'll look, during the night we'll... Oh well...
