 Frank Williams Must Die... ...or...Why-I'm-Not-Getting-My-Ass-Up-at-8:00AM-on-Sunday-Any-More-to-Watch-Williams.BMW-Pit-After-Being-In-First-Place-with-a-Good-Lead. I can understand driver error. That happens. Even Schuy and Kimmi have had driver problems. Happens to the best of them. And there are times when you just can't catch up to Ferrari becuase of their speed. But when your car blows a gasket because your team boss forgot to tell you to richen the fuel after you've leaned it out. When your team can't get the proper aero kits after two seasons of POOR AERO kits... Ok, this is proabably a false claim. And I will get up to watch the races, it's really trying to see JPM actually in first, and a good position in the middle-end of the race and have to come in because of VERY avoidable problems. When will Williams get out of there funk? Or will BMW just take over all F1 operations of their car? -Prince      |

| It is still undecided what will happen to BMW's efforts after 2004 when their contract expires with Williams. Moving all operations in-house would have advantages, but i'm sure it'd be a bumpy start as well.. supposedly Williams is finishing contruction of a new $26Mil wind tunnel right now, but its not out of the question for BMW to move either to another chassis, totally in-house, or drop the effort altogether as Gerhard Berger told F1 mag this month upon his retirement. *shrug* we'll see. |

| It's that kind of wishy-washy response from Berger that's keeping BMW out of the top spot. Ferrari isn't winning by a *shrug* stance on motorsport. They're winning by a total dedication and doing whatever it takes. And BMW will always be second to Ferrari (in motorsport as well as street cars) unless it makes an honest to god effort to really put something special out there. In a world of 911TT, 360 Modenas, hell...even new SRT-4s, Corvettes, Jaguar-R series...BMW just isn't as much of a standout marque as Ferrari or Porsche is. Maybe I'm just ranting or maybe I'm becoming disillusioned with BMWs recent M-sport efforts...but either way, they need to get their act together. -Prince |
