Reminds me of a winter's day back in 2001...I was at work on a Sunday night when I got a phone call from a friend.

"You watch the race?"
"Yeah why?"
"Did you hear who died?"
"No."
"Dale Earnhardt"

I dropped the phone. No one around at my job understood...but my wife (God bless her) stayed up til just before I got home and taped everything she could find on all the sportschannels regarding what happened and the tributes. She went to bed and left the tape on the table, I stayed up until 2am quietly crying to myself and watching.

I undertsand Schu....I really do *hug*

I'm lucky that he is just retiring and that he's not racing anymore cuz of an accident.....I remember watching Silverstone 1999 when he had that bad crash that fucked up his leg for a while....he wasnt moving and then they put a blanket round the scene so no one could see....I remember watching the telly heart in mouth crying..then when he was getting stretchered away he gave a wave and then I was crying with joy

when he won his first WDC with Ferrari in 2000 I was 37 weeks pregnant with Caelan...I really really had to calm myself down as I was thinking 'I'm gonna put myself in labour'

....laughing, crying and the excitement bursting out of me

Sorry, Schu... I know what it's like to have your favorites leave what they do best - it really blows for a while. But Schuey will live on in you and your siggy!

hey YYZ...I was watching the pre-race befoire Earnhardt died, and he was lounging outside his hauler on a recliner...the interviewer asked Earnhardt about his chances on winning Daytona again, and he said: "Y'all are gonna see somethin' you ain't NEVER seen before."

Sure enough...we DID. Does anybody else remember seeing that? It was the creepiest thing I ever saw.

As far as Schuey goes...I'm sorry Schu (((((Schu :*MMMMMOA))))) He's gotta pass the torch luv.....we ALL do

No because I was in the kitchen making goodies for the race. I had invited a few people to watch but no one showed...so I ate like a King.

that's Schuey got the same points as alonso now but cuz Schuey has won more races he's leading the championship

Ferrari will take the Constructors and Michael will take the Drivers. It's as simple as that.

I'm sure that Kimi will be great next year, since he'll be driving a car that doesn't break down after 20 laps...

I think Ferrari should get rid of Massa and replace him with anyone other than Sato or Yamamoto.

and I wish someone would tell Alonso to pick his dummy up that he chucked out the pram

FerrariF1 · Post by **FerrariF1** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 7:14 am

What's a pram?

Alonso is becoming a worse complainer than Coulthard. Every other day he's bitching about something.

Shut up and drive.

in American terms.......he's chucking his soother out of the buggy....I think that's what you call them.....what kids go into

and Alonso is getting much worse then any of them have ever been......although he Scottish I was really put off DC when he did it....with Alonso (cuz he's not Scottish) it's worse

Well, you never know what's going to happen and this weekend proved that without a doubt. Ferrari still have a chance at the Constructors Championship and you never know, maybe Alonso will crash or something.
