The thread dies again! Noooo..........

So, anyone think theres ANY chance of someone breaking Schumi's records? Or will they stand forver?
My guess is, Alonso has the best chance, with 2 titles and a lot of years ahead of him.

Alonso has the best chance as you said, but i think Schumi´s records will stay forever definitely (hope i am wrong, it would be great to see someone breaking them)
 
On the other hand, guys yesterday was the A1 GP in México City, nice race but what made me happy, was that i saw and took a couple of photos with Emerson Fittipaldi Big%20smile, that realy made me happy yesterday after having seen Salvador Durán finishing in the last place Disapprove

I dont see anyone beating schumi's records, Alonso has said he doesnt want to stick around that long.

Memo, how did Oliver Jarvis do in Mexico, and who won?

About bloody time, Team UK has only been second in about every A1 race since the series started in 04.

Wish I could get to Brands Hatch for the final.

Ferrari vs McLaren at the top, interesting race for sure!

I am also interested to see if both BMW drivers can manage to finish in the points positions.

Massa getting the poll doesn't mean much, it still means that Alonso might just win it. Wink

Really disappointed in the Ferraris, Massa drove like he did in his first year and Raikkonen didnt seem to want to attack Hamilton, who drove superbly.

Alonso!!!
 
After all that bitching about missing the race...our hotel has speed!! I somehow caught a reply of the race.
Well, I am glad with the outcome. My fav. 2 drivers got 1st and 2nd, and Kovalainen made the points! And also that Hamilton is damn impressive.
