Dre3000:

You might be right, these guys probably don't watch F1. I saw the race and I can tell you that the fastest in curves was not the Maclaren, but the Ferrari. Also, they had the fastest lap of the race. But this is the first race and things can change in two or three races, this is the nature of F1.

If that is true than Toyota just signed it's own testament with F1. It's going to die soon.

Lexusmaniac,

Please stop it. You're annoying everyone with your fanboy talk.

May I be the first to hand a Kleenex to the fans of ToyLex.

It's OK to cry, we understand.

I cant agree with you more. It's sad that Kimi isnt driving for McLaren/Mercedes anymore. He is by far the best driver in the world and I like the McLaren cars the best. The funny thing is, the McLaren cars were always the fastest on the track, but reliability kept Kimi from the podium too many times. Remember that race where he was WAY out in front and his transmission seized? With the Ferrari team, he's well on his way to being the next Schumacher... But, with Massa being such a crappy driver, I predict McLaren will win the constructors' title and Kimi will win the drivers championship this year.

This list is obviously sketchy. It's purely a lie that Toyota is doing that bad in F1. Toyota, as usual, is unjustly put in a damning position.

I do have to agree that the list is sketchy because to say that Honda is the most reliable is funny. They are the inventors of kablamo. Ferrari was the epitome of reliability but has done somewhat poorly the last two races. The fact is that the Williams team with the Toyota engines so far (1 race) has done better than the real Toyota.

That has to do with the chassis, not so much the engine. As I understand both teams use the same spec. V8 engine.

Actually the list seems reasonable other than the fact that, BMW wasnt that bad in reliability. I saw most of their races last year and the 1st race this year and they finished almost every race. Dont forget this is their 2nd year in F1 as a whole team. On the other hand, toyota last year was rubbish in terms of reliability. The engine blew up almost every race. No wonder their drivers are not happy. GO BMW !

you are right. I meant overall failures.

BMW as a team are in their second year, correct. But check back and you will see BMW were in F1 during the 80's. I believe they were with Brabham team and won some races.
