I think they might do it. Merc has ALL of the momentum right now. Renualt can only hang on and pick up the scraps. Fisi really needs to step up his game too. He has had a lot of bad luck this year but there have been plenty of times that he made the mistake. He is one of my favorite drivers but I hope he can finish the season on a high.

Kimi has had some bad performances at Suzuka. I'm pretty sure he has been out qualified by his teammate every year. So, he might only come in second. :)

Here's Thursday's FIA press conference to help ease the wait.
[QUOTE]Thursday's Press Conference - Japan
Thursday, 06 October 2005 09:02
Participating: Kimi Raikkonen (McLaren-Mercedes), Fernando Alonso (Renault), Flavio Briatore (Renault).
Q. How has life been since Sao Paulo, Fernando?
Fernando Alonso: It seems strange. It is a dream come true and I have enjoyed this week so much. I have not done anything special but just remembered the great moments of this 2005 season and my career.
Q. Have you been at home in Spain or Oxford?
FA: In Oxford. I was there all week and my family came there and then at the weekend some friends as well, so it was quite easy.
Q. So how will life change from now?
FA: Nothing's really changed. We did a good job this season, we won the Championship but Formula One is different every year. Next year will be a new motivation a new challenge with the new rules so hopefully we can maintain this level and we can fight for the title again, or maybe not, who knows? What we have done is fantastic for Renault and for me and life keeps going.
Q. You mentioned in Sao Paulo that you would be less conservative in the next two races, so what will we see different?
FA: In terms of performance I think that will be similar, because when you have the helmet on, you close the visor and you go for it and also in Sao Paulo I tried to win the race, but obviously in some parts of the race, at the start, maybe when Juan Pablo overtook me on the second lap, maybe you are a little bit conservative because that isn't the time to take risks and maybe it will be more difficult to overtake me.
Q. What has been the most important or significant point about this season?
FA: I think the whole season was important. Probably the first races were the most important because I took this 20-point advantage to all the opponents and then in the second part I maintained the gap. Australia was probably the best race this year because I finished third but I fought a lot with some bad luck as well in qualifying with the rain conditions etc, but those six points, I knew, were very important.
Q. What have you learned this year?
FA: I learned when you have a good car you can win, that is the only thing, because I fought with the R23 which was a good car but I only won the Hungarian Grand Prix but the car was so-so and I finished sixth in the Championship. Last year the car was very difficult to drive and we had a lot of problems but I still finished fourth in the Championship. But I was missing something, I was missing something to win the Championship and now I have the answer: you need a good car and a good team, but if you have everything together you can win.
Q. And your hopes for 2006?
FA: I hope to fight again for the title. This Championship was so exciting for me, every race with very high motivation and enjoying all the races and I think the only difference compared to the previous season was that I was leading the Championship or close to leading the Championship and for next year, all the team and me, we hope to again try to fight to the last races with options in the Championship but if we can win even better.
Q. Michael Schumacher is in his 14th or so World Championship season, can you see yourself still racing in ten years time?
FA: I don't know. I think you need to have a good car to keep the motivation like Michael has had throughout his career and I think that with Ferrari he found good motivation and when they put everything together and they started to win races and Championships, it is impossible to stop because you enjoy it so much and I think that if this happened to us, it would be not difficult to keep going for so many years but if you have six or seven years with not the best car and you cannot win I think you retire a little bit earlier than him.
Q. Flavio, what have been the effects for Renault of winning the Drivers' Championship?
Flavio Briatore: The best possible thing is to win. We are very happy. You know we started the Renault Formula One programme in 2001 and after four years we won the Championship. Fernando has done an incredible job, especially last year and this year and we don't forget that he is only 24. He's been very mature. If you look at the races from Australia to Brazil he was really fantastic. His professionalism has been fantastic, he's been cool. We have had a lot of pressure, especially in the last three or four races, really because you never know. McLaren have been very, very quick. Our cars performed very well during the first part of the season and after Barcelona McLaren was really so quick. But Fernando managed to maintain the difference between himself and Kimi. I believe it was fantastic for Formula One to have Fernando and Kimi fighting up to Brazil for the Championship. And for Renault, it is the first time that a (constructeur) generaliste (major motor manufacturer) has won the Championship with a young driver * it's fantastic. I believe all of us in the team, everybody in the Renault team has enjoyed this. It was really amazing.
Q. Obviously you want to win the Constructors' Championship as well, does anything change for these final two races?
FB: I hope so. As Fernando said, we know that the McLarens are very very quick and at this moment we need to try our best to win the Constructors' Championship. It is important as well. But we try, we are making the best effort between Fernando and Giancarlo. But on the other hand, we are very very happy with the Drivers' Championship because, in the end, it is the F1 Drivers' Championship at the moment and we've done it. Now, if we don't win the Constructors' Championship, then congratulations to McLaren.
Q. The Constructors' Championship is obviously about both drivers, what are your feelings about Giancarlo's season this year?
FB: Everybody's seen Giancarlo's season. He had a very good start, after that, between the team and Giancarlo's luck, we had some failures with the car and engine, and Giancarlo made a few mistakes. It is the first year for Giancarlo to be in a top team like Renault and always when you change teams, you need to get used to the team. The relationship between us and Giancarlo is fantastic, the relationship between the two drivers is fantastic. This is what is more important. Both drivers are working for the team and I'm sure for next season Giancarlo is there. The Championship is not finished yet, the Constructors' Championship. His aim is to help Fernando win the Constructors' Championship as well. Plus driving next to Fernando is not so easy, especially this year when Fernando has made no mistakes * possibly in Canada * but only one. The car has finished every race, Fernando's car has finished every race. I believe it is about finishing every race in the points. It is very difficult for another driver to cope with this kind of performance. You know overall I'm very happy with the team, very happy for everybody. When you're winning, you need to be happy, not complaining.
Q. Kimi, to what extent is the season now finished for you personally?
Kimi Raikkonen: For the Drivers' Championship, but there are still two races to try to win the Constructors' Championship but we will do the best that we can for the last two remaining races.
Q. Does anything change for you in these last two races?
KR: Of course, in one way because were fighting hard for the Drivers' Championship and for me personally it is more important than the others but of course I want to do the best for the team also but it's not so exciting any more.
Q. So, what has been the most significant point for you this season?
KR: I think once we got back to Europe, the package started to go better, we got the best out of the car and the package, so I think that was the important part of the season and then we started winning. Of course it was nice to win the races and we aimed to win the Championship also but anyhow we did the best we could and we will try next year again.
Q. So what have you learned this year?
KR: I don't know what I've learned really. Of course, you always learn from mistakes from your driving in races, but nothing really significant.
Q. Your hopes for 2006?
KR: We will try to fight for the Championship and try to win it but with all the new rules we don't know what's going to happen next year. But I think we will have a good package anyhow and hopefully it will be good enough for winning races and fighting for the Championship.
Q. And in ten years time, can you see yourself still racing?
KR: I don't know. I think that is too far away. It all really depends what in the coming years. If you enjoy it then maybe you will keep going, but ten years is quite a long time so I don't know.
Q. Finally, there is continuous speculation about you and Ferrari. Can you make a comment?
KR: They're not new rumours, they are already three years old. But of course, now, everyone knows that my contract is only to next year with McLaren so maybe it becomes more exciting to write those rumours but the fact is that I have a contract next year and I'm happy with the team and for sure the car will also be good next year and I don't see any reason to go anywhere else. OK, after next year, we will see again, but I'm happy to stay.

I think that's my order for victory. I think if Alonso can keep steady at Suzuka, he will have a grand chance of helping Renault. I also think that Sato will be lightening fast on Suzuka... this is only under assumption that Honda is reliable enough to run.

I'm stuck with last race's picks, cause I didn't get mine in in time. It's Saturday over there! (That's what my boss told me one Thursday when I needed to get stuff to Japan before closing time Friday their time. :) )
These didn't do me much good last race, so I don't have high hopes this one, either. Looks like I might just drop out of the donut chase. :(

wow, what a mix!
should be race of the year for the constructors title. Definately intersting. Don't forget to set Tivo's to record at the odd-ball hour.
I do forecast one thing...
As Juan passes Kimi for the lead, he yells "Ph-to-cop-ier"

I'm happy that BAR and Toyota are up there on front row.
BUT I don't know how long they'll be up there for. If you think about it, the only reason why they are on the front row is because of the heavy rainfall near the end of qualifying. Assuming raceday is dry, and no accidents happen on the midfields, it should be pretty easy to see who stands on podium.

I don't know...Suzuka is a hard track to make up time on. Not an easy track for passing either.
I definately think we'll see one of the heavies making to the podium, Montoya probably, maybe Alonso as well. But Ralf knows how to control a race from the front, and he's very fast at Suzuka...if he can keep Fisichella and Button in check and Toyota doesn't mess up their strategy (as they seem very prone to do) he could win.
Sato is going to be crazy at the start....nothing to lose after all.

There was 15 seconds left in the lap. How much fuel could he have have saved that would be worth those grid spots...

This is a stupid question, but is the race on at 12:30am EST? Speed channel is never correlated. When you go onto their website it saw something else is going to be on at 12:30am, then I look at the schedule and it says F1 at 12:30. What is the deal?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
I don't want to rush through my homework so I can watch the race and at 12:30 a new nascar show is on. :rolleyes:

Damn the canadian washout for pushing Montoya off the track!!!
| XenoWolf | 10-09-2005 01:14 AM |
JPM is already out :(
Sato went off on the first corner... lol. It's painfully amusing...
Let's hope someone can take Alonso or Fissi out (attn Sato! haha), or else McLaren might come up bust on the constructors championship too.

Dammit! Now Alonso is simply teasing me... I thought he broke.

Pizzonia went off due to being frustrated behind Villeneuve!

Remember though guys, Kimi isn't just fighting Alonso.. he also has to keep Fissi in mind.

congrats kimi, way to bring in the points!!! good luck in china!
| mtnbkrcr | 10-09-2005 02:36 AM |
That was an awesome race. Alonso was so aggressive in his passing. Kimi was just flying, It was crazy how much time he made up when he was running in clean air.
| Patrick L | 10-09-2005 02:36 AM |
Sorry about the big letters. lol
I was shouting when I saw him pass Fisi!

Constructors race is awesome to watch. Right down to the last race, that's what I like to see. 2 points difference: Renault in the lead McLaren 2nd.

Kimi... :huh:
That was the best grand prix I've ever seen. Utterly speechless...probably because I lost my voice from yelling at the top of my lungs for the last 3 laps of the race.
Kimi... :banana: That's the best I can do to express my awe.

Juan Montoya Is under investigation for his involvement with Villeneuve's car. This is the fourth or fifth time he has been in a racing incident. He wasn't even lapping him, trying to overtake. On a sidenote, did anyone else hear the comment that Sato makes 14 million dollars in endorsements a year??? What does he sell? Crash helmets?
| shicane | 10-09-2005 06:50 AM |
well he is the only japanese driver in F1... just endorsements from japanese powerhouses alone would get him 14 a yr... or even more...

Well enough, but what I meant is that Kimi did his best to ensure that McLaren has a good shot at the title going into China.

You've got it wrong, its Villeneuve who is under investigation, pushing a car off track like that is not a move a former world champion should be doing.
Sato is the best japanese gp driver ever, and they love formula one, that is why he has all the endorsements.
That pass at the end had me in tears, it was just SO amazing.
