WDC second place?....

Mr V · 28 Sep 2003, 21:52 (Ref:733285)

.....so, who's it going to be? Kimi leads Juan Pablo 83-82.

Now with Michael seemingly, and deservedly about to clinch his 6th title all eyes will be watching to see who comes runner up (or first of the losers as Ron puts it

Who you going for?

Mark Webber · 28 Sep 2003, 21:55 (Ref:733289)

Kimmi all the way

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2003, 21:55 (Ref:733290)

It might still be Michael.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2003, 21:58 (Ref:733292)

I reckon Montoya. Although Kimi had the pace at Indy. He didn't run light in Q. However I still think the Williams will have the pace at Suzuka.

****** ******!

Juan will clean himself up and take second with ease.

UNLESS, we finally see the MP18

esorniloc · 28 Sep 2003, 22:01 (Ref:733295)

Williams still have a lot to fight for, they are only 3 points down in the constructors cup.

I'll go for Montoya to win Suzuka, Schu to blow up and the FIA to declare JPM and Schu co-champions so there is no 2nd spot in the championship.

Raven · 28 Sep 2003, 22:04 (Ref:733299)

JPM should do it. He like Suzuka and was flying there in 2001, Ferrari shouldn't have such a big cushion as they have in the past two years, so I'm predicting a JPM/Ralf win in Suzuka. JPM should have enough to edge Kimi, and he has never really shone in Suzuka anyway.

Redblurr · 28 Sep 2003, 22:31 (Ref:733322)

The points system sucks anyway.
GP wins; MS 6
JPM 2
Kimi 1
so does Kimi deserve it anyway?

Mark Webber · 29 Sep 2003, 08:00 (Ref:733697)

Hell yes his in a 2yr old car

jetsetter · 29 Sep 2003, 08:12 (Ref:733705)

I hate it when people say that because a certain driver doesn't get the wins another driver gets he doesn't deserve the title but part of competing in the championship is consistency & on that score if Kimi happens to get runner-up or may be win the title Kimi will have got there through consistency & on that score i'll say he'll have deserved his position.

climb · 29 Sep 2003, 08:31 (Ref:733728)

JPM definitely: he's still too committed for the WDC; even being demotivated for the personal fight to the WDC, surely sir Frank will push pressure on his dribers to get the best.
And he will certainly look for a mini-revenge, to finish the season as a winner, and proudly stand in front of WDC Michael.

**GTRMagic** · 29 Sep 2003, 08:32 (Ref:733731)

Monty being out of contention will help Ron drive his price down when negotiating with Frank having not won the series...

I wonder if the interest is now gone since the #1 plate isnt going to McLaren?

ralf fan · 29 Sep 2003, 10:33 (Ref:733877)

I think JPM will really be sulking after this race! i dont think he'll be able to raise his game though i might be wrong, i'll still back Kimmi

f1manoz · 29 Sep 2003, 11:49 (Ref:733962)

JPM should do it with ease. He may well dominate Suzuka just to prove something...

2year old car - think about it, no modifications , no engine upgrades- does it have the same name?

Are you suggesting that the only thing Ron looks for in a driver is whether he brings a number with him? :confused:

Not that this rumour was ever serious.

Thorstone · 29 Sep 2003, 13:45 (Ref:734089)

Kimi will drive flat out in Japan,and win

jbisminesothere · 29 Sep 2003, 15:56 (Ref:734249)

it will be michael!! kimi will win it and montoya 3rd.............ok ive stopped dreaming!! i do hope that kimi is 2nd!

ljakse · 29 Sep 2003, 16:39 (Ref:734316)

This is the most outrages poll I've ever seen on this board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you wanted to post a poll on who is going to be 2nd in WCC in year 2003 you certanaly HAD to put Michael Schumacher's name as an option!
You might not think he will be 2nd in the end, but be prepared to eat some humble pies!!!!

Thank God you don't leave anywhere near me so you can't serve me some when the race finishes

**Dani Filth** · 29 Sep 2003, 17:39 (Ref:734394)

i think is gonna be Kimi ..

beau · 29 Sep 2003, 18:02 (Ref:734426)

I would prefere Kimi to get it tham Juan

So the FIA summararily decide to scrap the notion of countback now?

Well in 94 there was some talk of a race off.

The IRL had co-champions in 96.

DriverT · 30 Sep 2003, 11:08 (Ref:735183)

Yeah, but that's the IRL...

Besides, if they don't have any countback it makes a mockery of the number of races a driver won that season.

esorniloc · 30 Sep 2003, 11:12 (Ref:735189)

Well its never happened before that 2 drivers in the world championship finished level on points.

In 84 Lauda won by half a point.

It did happen in F3000 in 89 when Alesi beat Comas on coutback.
