    Right, but that setup wouldn't work on an F1 circuit. Yes, it was FIA legal, but with such little downforce, it would not turn on an oval at speed. It would fair better at a road course, but still suck. It was built for straight-line only. I was talking about possibilities on-track to have F1 be the fastest and only Pizzonia's speed was the highest I've seen done.

    The Danny Boy Owners live in my neck of the Woods.
    However, I don't know how active they are these days.

    The only reason the Honda F1 team has the record is because there the only ones who tried it. I guarantee you Ferrari, Mclaren, or BMW could be faster. They just spent their time improving their cars for this season. Honda was doing this, and look at them now...

    All true, but I still applaud them for thinking outside the box and do something different. I wish there were more stunts like this.

    I love how when the car started to understeer he just kept on cranking on the wheel!!!! Thats a mistake thats supposed to be taken care of before you are even allowed to race.

    What amazes me is that he forgot he was in a road car and started braking like he was in GT car or something!

    Checkout the master driving a road car, watch how he corrects the oversteer with one hand while looking bored as hell!

    Look at his hair!!! He is in a convertible and his hair doesnt move at all. I've been in the same car that he was (Maserati Spyder) and your hair is flapping around all over the place. How much hair gel does he use?

    His driving is spectacular by the way, nothing phases him, he is the greatest.

    the gel that schumi uses, is specially designed gel, using a combo of oil and stuff from SHell.

    Look at Chelsea's schedule they have to play Man U, Arsenal, and Liverpool. NO CHANCE for them to win either Champions League or EPL.

    Looked more like super glue, if your hair doesnt move when your moving over 100mph thats pretty impressive.

    he's definitely the best in the world, currently, no doubt about it. but IMO, it'll take a while before he can take it to the level of Ronaldinho. hey, i'm a big MU fan, but i think Cristi needs a lil more time. :)

    very true, but honestly, i'd rather see them in the Champions League final than Liverpool. at the moment, Chelsea a bit shaken, comparing to what they were at the start of the season.

    United's 4-2 comeback at everton was classic!

    George Best was a drunk even in his playing days, Pele is too stupid to know which lap to unfurl the checkered flag, Maradona is an embarrassingly bloated coke-fiend who has a fatter arse than I do, and Ronaldinho looks like he could be sharing a bed with Ralf Schumacher. I have lived in Europe and the middle east, it is not like I have been isolated from the soccer-loving rest-of-the-world.

    I am not saying there aren't talented players in the sport, I am saying that the diving and feigned injuries I saw during the World Cup disgusted me to the point that I have no respect for international soccer. There is nothing more absurd than some idiot rolling around on the field, screaming like his leg has been broken, only to have him carted off on a stretcher (a stretcher, for chrissake!) to see him bouncing around on the sideline literally a moment later, getting ready to go back in.

    I played Division 1 football in my younger (and thinner) days. The LAST thing you would ever do as a football player is give the other team the satisfaction of watching you get carried off the field. I saw players get up and walk off the field, only to find out that they sustained a fracture once they got x-rayed. A real man sucks up the pain and walks off the field like a man. Soccer players cry like babies from a stubbed toe, get stretchered off the field like a woman about to give birth, and then plan out their next ridiculous hairstyle on the sideline with their pole-smoking teammates.

    While diving may be part of the game, for those of us in the US that respect toughness and athleticism, it is effeminate and disgusting. World Cup Soccer players are supposed to be the best in the sport. If this is all that the sport has to offer, then I would rather watch the WNBA.

    ...and I f$%#%ing hate women's basketball...
