Demoting David
June 18, 2003
Poor David Coulthard will never win a championship. There is already talk of team orders at McLaren in support of Kimi’s championship efforts.
Schumi’s gripe
June 18, 2003
I guess what he is saying makes a lot of sense, but I just can’t stand to hear someone as unbelievably lucky (to be blessed with his skill, his team, etc) as Michael Schumacher griping about ANYTHING.
“If you imagine that one (Michael) wins one race and the other (Kimi) wins four races and there’s only three points difference you think whether that’s right or wrong. I’m probably not so pleased with it.”

Well written piece done with some humor about Tomas.
Different perspectives
June 17, 2003
Check out the difference in perspective of the hot young driver (experienced and ready to go)and the former world champion (..needs more experience) and current team owner. Who would you believe?
Buyer beware?
June 17, 2003
With teams that have no sponsors, and existing sponsors paying next to nothing as primary backers, who in their right mind is going to buy the rights to go bankrupt? Selling of the series would be a major coup, reconstituting it as a sport and a viable business allmost an impossibility. My guess as a buyer? Tony George through a front company, just to fold it up and make it go away. You heard it here first folks!
Eddie & the Suit
June 17, 2003
Eddie Jordan must be crackers if the basis of his law suit is as reported herin. He probably was hoping for a quick out of court settlement and picking a few quid.
The trouble with Busch
June 17, 2003
And I’m not talking about the President! Even though I am a native New Englander I have never been a big fan of Randy LaJoie. But reading the article instills a whole new level of respect for the guy because he has hit the nail on the head!
Elegance or chicanery?
June 17, 2003
There are rumors abounding that one possible reason for El Supremo buying into Minardi is to have an ear at any GPWC discussions and strategy sessions concerning the break away league in 2008. When your a billionaire six million for information concerning your survivial is cheap!
Frank impressed by Jeff’s drive
June 17, 2003
Frank Williams was reportedly highly impressed with Jeff Gordon’s skills in last weeks “Tradn’ Paint” car swap with Williams’ Juan Pablo Montoya. However, Sir Frank also copped out by stating that they couldn’t afford Jeff even if he wanted to come over to F1. I have gotten the “you are so great at what you do but we could never afford you” line before. It reads to me like “I really don’t think you are great at what you do but I will say it and then get out of offering you a job by telling you we can’t afford you.” I mean come on! An F1 team not able to pay a NASCAR driver’s salary!? PLEASE!
