Only saw the end. In times of Michael Schuhmacher I never missed a race. Don't have a real favorite. But then, Hammilton's a nice guy. He's got the goooood engine. Heidfeld and BMW is surely going to be better this year.
Had a call from PE the other day. He said soccer was the black mans sports. Is it true?

Let me spoil the party... I don't like F1... whats the point of all that noise and wasting petrol to drive around in a circle..... and don't get me started on cyclists...

only white people that follow soccer here and sa are people that immigrated here.
99% of whites here have no interest in soccer,
watch a few of our local games on tv and you will soon be a big rugby fan.

Football was a big white sport prior to 78..... but when the stadia started to fill with black masses who supported the game in their true style... the family outings to the stadia on a saturday became a thing of the past.... it also got dangerous...

I like rugby, even if I don't realy know the rules to well.
Rugby is getting popular in Germany to, but soccer will always dominate the sports scene. Even the girls are doing a fantastic job in the international scene.

I recal soccer being the game of the English speaking and rugby more the Afrkaaners at OPS. At high school we only had soccer.

i think black support for soccer in SA is overrated.
the stadiums are only half full or less most games.

i think the 2010 world cup will only be supported because free tickets are been handed out.

Kimme Raikonen won this weekend  -  this effort now has Ferrari in the 3rd spot as team.  Since the last year Schummi was in the sport, it seems like Ferrari has been experiencing some trouble with their engines in some way.  Due to some or other main man that retired, or due to new legislation in the sport regarding some technical stuff  - 


or due to the drivers themselves? 

Another thing  -  how come there are sort of two Red Bull teams  -  one just named Red Bull and the other one Torro Rosso  -  meaning the same thing as Red Bull?  Anyone know..

[georg ruf jr.]

@Dalene: Red Bull (Austrian sugered-water drink) is the main sponsor of this team.
Torro Rosso users Ferrari engines. I think it has something to do with that.

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Ja 'cos Ferrari's are red and they go fast.

[Rhona]

Kinda like the Rhodes relay team - they go fast as well.............

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I suppose...I was in Oppenheimer....we could sing you know

[Rhona]

I only sing during a 'lock in' - damn I'm good then, but of course when everyone is full of beer, the whole world sings in tune............

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I'd just pretend to sing back then but I tell you the wine sings well now-days.
