Spa-Francorchamps, one of the most traditional Formula 1 venues, is likely to feel that non-smoking is not good enough next year. The early ban on tobacco advertising in Belgium makes the route go down in 2003. Even though the route in the Belgian Ardennes has always been regarded as a season highlight in recent years, Spa-Francorchamps is at the end. And not the famous, notorious Eau Rouge curve or the sudden rain showers s In the case of the EU, it is not until 2006, but the small kingdom is already pushing ahead with the ban. The FIA reacts visibly annoyed by this, which in turn is experiencing the pressure of the main sponsors – all tobacco manufacturers. The traditional course still has two small chances: either the Belgian government agrees with the FIA on an exception, or the racing teams agree on it (as in the case of the race in France and Great Britain) the course without tobacco advertising on cars, suits and gangs. So far the name “Spa-Francorchamps” has been marked with ** stars in the FIA racing calendar, which mark the Grand Prix date planned for August 1, 2003 as not yet confirmed. Insiders do not expect much more chances. In Bahrain yesterday there was the first groundbreaking ceremony for the latest Formula 1 course in the new Millennium. Here, already over the conclusion of the race, there was more Stier Veträge talked… It’s a pity about this beautiful and challenging route!! Cu Moonricky

Michael Schumacher unbeatable until 2004?
As a result, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barichello will already have a further upgrade stage of their already very strong engine at the Monza race. There is talk of an output of over 900 hp… To the joy of Ferraristi, to the sorrow for the competition… Also the new development of the F2003 will be pushed after the early win of the World Championship. Schumacher’s contract runs (for the time being) until 2004 and with the superiority of the vehicle un d of the driver, of course, the question arises whether MS can be seriously attacked by the end of his career. What do you think? How many World Championships will Schumacher be able to win until the end of the 2004 season?

Competition: F1 World Championship 2002!
We write the year 2002… In less than 60 days it is time again: a smell of hot rubber and burnt gasoline is in the air; everywhere there is a lot of hustle and bustle. The beautiful girls under the hot sun of Australia leave the cars for the start. Countdown, five, four, three, two, one… GO, F1, GO !!! This survey is limited in time! Even before the start of the first free training in the Albert Park Circuit to Melbourne falls, it will end t. So don’t hesitate to give the maybe golden tip and be the winner at the end! Not all teams have yet introduced their cars for the 2002 season and not all cockpits are occupied. Despite this, the question that is decisive for the 2002 year is: Who will be Formula 1 World Champion in 2002? Among all participating motor talents who post their tip and are right at the end of the season, I will be with the kind support of my Schripp enrägers… *rausper* Employer (excluding the right-hand way) a price worth EURO 179,- lose! You can already look at this one here. Good luck and a lot of fun!!! P.S.: The selection of drivers did not fall easily! So unfortunately some experienced Haudegen (e.g. Jarno Trulli) had to give way to the drivers of promising teams The sorting corresponds in the following to the starting numbers and represents no evaluation! P.P.S.: The possibility of voting takes place only to the v easy visualization of the words! Due to the anonymity of the voting ad, I absolutely ask you to post the driver’s name! How else should I make a winner?!

Penalty instead of points deduction for Ferrari
Paris (rpo). The World Council of the World Association of Automobiles (FIA) has ended the “Teamorder affair”: The result of the Grand Prix of Austria remains, but the Ferrari team has to pay a drastic fine. Michael Schumacher will not be denied the victory at the Grand Prix of Austria. The World Council of the International Automobile Association (FIA) decided in Paris that Ferrari and its two drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello for the behavior on the S Iegerpodium, however, must jointly pay a penalty of one million dollars. Half of the sum will be suspended for one year and will be due only if such an incident should repeat itself within the next twelve months. Sanctions against the two drivers, however, is not possible because “both are contractually bound to carry out the instructions of the team”, the World Council of the International Automobile Association FIA decided according to its published in Paris Nevertheless, the World Council “regrets” the way in which the team orders had been given. Ferrari was also not punished for this with reference to the “traditional right of a team” to determine the ranking of its drivers. “With some reluctance” had therefore been removed from sanctions. Barrichello had clearly led at the Grand Prix of Austria on 12 May, but had to pass the second-placed Schumacher and win at the order of his team. Schumacher was accused of violating the rules because he had asked his teammate at the award ceremony and the then official FIA press conference in the middle. The behaviour on the winning podium was to be punished because “it is the duty of every team that the contracted drivers adhere to the podium procedures and not in any way break the national authorities of the country in which the Grand Prix takes place. On the podium, Schumacher first accepted the winner’s trophy from the hands of Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel and then passed it on to Barrichello. Furthermore, the German had left the place on the top podium to the Brazilian.

Tactic or shift?
The exit of the race in Spielberg/Austria on the A1-Ring heats up the moods: Rubens Barichello, who was in the lead until then, after the last turn, lets his teammate Michael Schumacher drive past the old Ferrari rule “let Michael pass for championship” and add another 10 points to his account. What follows: a whistling whistle concert, Barichello call and a victory ceremony, as the Formula 1 world has probably not yet seen. And hopefully also n In another thread this matter has already been discussed very controversially (http://www.motor-talk.de/t8604/f2/s/thread.html). Here I would like to call once again on general expression in the context of a survey.

Monti vs. Schumi
Yesterday it was time again: a new race and a new (unnecessary?) race accident in the first race lap; Juan Pablo Motoya drives up on Michael Schumacher, driving in front of him, and loses his rear wing! Here’s your opinion again! How did you see the situation and how is your opinion on this? Montoya has already rejected the blame in his short interview yesterday and blamed Mr. Schumacher again!

McLaren-Mercedes with Michelin to new glory ?!
According to current press reports, McLaren-Mercedes is racing their cars again in the 2002 Formula One season with tyres from the French tyre company Michelin. Does the change after the messed-up 2001 season mean the grip on the stars again?

A heart “for MS and Ferrari fans”
I’m a very big Michael and Ferrarifan and I hope all Michael and Ferrarifans can talk undisturbed about the F1. What I think about the F1 and Michael Schumacher? For me, Michael Schumacher is the best driver of all time and I think there will never be another driver like Michael Schumacher. My opinion is and remains boring without michael, I’m someone looking where because of Michael F1. What do I think about Ferrari as a brand? My opinion is the Ferrari the best sports car in the world and I build a lot of dream cars of this brand and my favorite model is the Ferrari 250 GTO. I as a classic car fan of course also have dream cars of other brands, but not as many as of Ferrari. What I think about the Scuderia Ferrari? For me the Scuderia Ferrari is a perfect team, because everything fits the drivers, boss Desingner,…, but I fear 2007 Ferrari gets worse again because the contract of Michael, Rubens, Ro ss Brawn, Rory Byrne only goes until the end of 2006. I hope to extend her. and now since her turn

Please tear off the cat-cam!!
to all the rtl-damaged: were you okay? I totally got the hate on this stupid camera on the track, which can keep up to 160km/h with the formula1 car… blablabla. each round the same. cat-cam against misha ell, cat-cam against button and alonso, cat-cam here cat-cam da… cat-cam can keep up with minardi longer (which I think is bullshit), cat-cam cleans up the pfoten… this stupid idiot really gets my bag. sorry, I have to put it that way. the best argu ment, to get premiere are not the 15 camera perspectives, the advertising freedom and what do I know, but the advantage that you don’t have heiko water as a commentator. and if the premiere laber is annoying, then you can just turn off the sound. pity that there is no www.f1satire.de. that was balsam on the soul of rtl-damaged…

Formula 1 and Heiko Water
Hi there, I’m an enthusiastic Formula 1 fan. Unfortunately I don’t have any Sky nor do I receive ORF. That’s why I rely on RTL. I can also do this 4-5 times advertising. Even if this is sometimes sent at the worst times. I also find the commentator Christian Danner great! He has a clue about what he says and it’s also fun to listen to him. Only Heiko Wasser I have a problem. He brings me to the white glow! He keeps talking nonsense. Although he has been doing this for more than 20 years, he can’t distinguish between two vehicles that are 10 places apart in the field and drive against different opponents (like Vettel – Räikkönen today). Returns wrong times or times that are already outdated laps. Although you can see this as a TV viewer immediately in the ad. Likewise, he comments on events in the race only after minutes after it happened. And most of his comments are stupid sayings. he has no idea of the sport. What luckily he doesn’t do so often anymore: chatting in between the team radio. Hated that. I can’t handle it. Am I the only one who sees it like that?? What does RTL have on him? I mean, what do you need a commentator for when the viewer is better informed than the commentator?
