The Race Fans poll

Wrex · 20 Nov 2002, 07:36 (Ref:432877)

While Valve and his merry men

vote on how well they want Ferrari to win or not, I'm starting another 'wish list' poll for race fans. Regardless of the team or driver you support, what do you want next year?

You want your team/driver to dominate like Michael/Ferrari did in 2002 without challenge?

or

I would rather the winning driver/team faced tough wheel-to-wheel competition from many drivers/teams throughout the year ending with a nail-biting finish, whoever it was.

Whats more important to you - your guy winning or real racing?

Does he still post here?

Red · 20 Nov 2002, 07:49 (Ref:432881)

How about option 3: I would rather see the other teams posing though competition; but my team crush them and dominate in the end...

Wrex · 20 Nov 2002, 07:53 (Ref:432885)

Read the poll mate, your driver/team can still win (and will IMO) with option 2.

f1manoz · 20 Nov 2002, 07:58 (Ref:432893)

I would like to see a fair battle. That is all. Oh, add some good racing to the mix and I'll be happy.

Of course they will....

Option 2 doesn't really please me; I want my team be the best and when I mean the best I mean win every single race. Preferrably 1-2. However option 1 doesn't exactly thrills me either. I want them to beat (to beat hard and thoroughly beat them) but beat Cars (capital C) not carriages.

To be more specific, I really don't care if the championship is over by Silverstone. I watch Formula 1 because I like it not because I'm interested by the results. (Otherwise I would only read the newspapers after Suzuka)

Jukebox · 20 Nov 2002, 08:22 (Ref:432919)

Another pole?

I like Valve's version much better...It's always i want this and that isn't it! well, grow up!..the reality is that Ferrari and Michael dominates. The only way you all will see option 2 is to ask Michael to slow down

Now your beginning to sound like mr v, Peter

Wrex · 20 Nov 2002, 08:59 (Ref:432947)

Juke, personal insults will not be tolerated!

Sorry Mrv, could'nt resist

wreckless · 20 Nov 2002, 10:47 (Ref:433011)

i would definetly go for option 2, and i watched it happen this year in world sbk between edwards and bayliss

Valve Bounce · 20 Nov 2002, 10:53 (Ref:433013)

This is so silly and so obvious - who in their right mind would vote for option 1?

R · 20 Nov 2002, 10:57 (Ref:433017)

The two options are way too polarized. I do not want my driver to dominate like TGF did in 2002 without challenge, but neither do I prefer the winning driver/team facing tough wheel-to-wheel competition from many drivers/teams throughout the year ending with a nail-biting finish, whoever it was. I'm not indifferent to who wins. I want my driver to win (or one of them), but in a close fought championship. So there's no option for me to vote in this poll.

R · 20 Nov 2002, 11:01 (Ref:433021)

But if the question is would I rather see TGF win the way he won this year, or would I rather see him win as detailed in option no. 2, the answer is obvious.

f1manoz · 20 Nov 2002, 11:23 (Ref:433030)

Option 1 sounds like 2002.

Option 2 sounds like 1982.

Guess which was the better season...

20 Nov 2002, 11:56 (Ref:433047)

I'm a huge Ferrari fan.

With the Williams and McLarens not managing to mix it with Ferrari this season was seriously boring.

I actually fell fast asleep during the Hungarian GP.

So did some of the drivers.

I fell asleep during the Japanese GP after the second lap...

Only to wake up after the finish and watch a small yellow japanese guy go crazy.

Can't remember his name though...

alesi95 · 20 Nov 2002, 12:25 (Ref:433080)

is this for real or just some guy being sarcastic?

ASCII Man · 20 Nov 2002, 12:29 (Ref:433084)

What for real?
Me falling asleep during the Japan GP?
Ofcourse it's for real!

Except the "can't remember his name though" part ofcourse

**Peter Mallett** · 20 Nov 2002, 12:38 (Ref:433092)

You'll have to lay off the "Belgian Coffee" for a while.

ASCII Man · 20 Nov 2002, 12:49 (Ref:433097)

Ok, i'll try to do that in the future.

PS: What's a "Belgian Coffee"?
Not that it's a matter of life and death type of question...

**Peter Mallett** · 20 Nov 2002, 12:58 (Ref:433102)

They brew it near to you and you said you worked there at one time.

It runs at around 5% proof.

ASCII Man · 20 Nov 2002, 13:03 (Ref:433107)

Oooh right, i get it...

LOL

2002. The 1982 F1 season saw the death of two drivers, and a career ending shunt for another.
