F1 Comes Down to The Wire - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

gov135 · 09-10-2003, 05:21 PM

The season is coming down to the wire. For the first time since F1 has come back to American soil, the championships are still at stake. But first up is Monza - Ferrari turf.

Who is going to take the individual title?
Which team will take the constructor's championship?

I suppose my BAR team is out of it.

My input: Raikkonen dodges some of the bad luck that has plagued him to take the individual title. Williams BMW wins the team title.

Wow, I didn't realize it was sooo close. It should make the remaining races very interesting. Now I can't wait to go to the US Grand Prix. Usually when it's time for the USGP, everything has been decided.

I think Schumacher will pull off the drivers title but Williams will pull off the constructors title.

Yeah, baby. I'll be in Indy in two weeks to see the circus. Can't wait.

Monza may well be THE race of the season with the tire controversy, pressure on Ferrari to perform and Ralf possibly not at his best.

I'm hoping that Juan Pablo takes the WDC.

I havent followed the F1 standings this year, but this is definately a turn around from last season.

I wish the 2nd place guy in NASCAR was this close to the first place guy

Go Montoya.

i can´t believe how close this years comp is.
after so many years of outright schumacher/ferrari domination.
its about time WIlliams started to claw it back.
(but i wish Webber was higher up the rankings)

Michael takes Monza with Montoya in second and Raikonnen in fourth.

Therefore, Michael is three points ahead heading to the US Grand Prix.

In the constructers championship, McClaren suffered a blow when Coultard ended up with a DNF.

Best of all, (in my opinion) BAR posted a sixth place finsih to gain valuable points in their race with Jaguar and Toyota.
