    How do you turn a duck into a soul singer? Put it in the microwave until it's Bill Withers.

  • again, I rest my case.

  • There is a vein in the body named after Jamaicans. Which is it?

  • Oh dear... i seem to have arrived too late to save you all!!!

  • Excellent thread derail. Keep it going, boys!

  • How do you kill a circus?

    Go for the juggler =P

  • Back on topic, that Italian national anthem really is fantastic, or maybe it's just from hearing it so often from Ferrari winning all the time =P

    Forza Ferrari!!!

  • Hahahahahahahahamilton!!!!!

    Good to see Kimi on the podium as usual =D

  • you bloody hypocrite after ragging my boy only hours before! ;)

    nice to see him on podium... { Forza Ferrari } indeedy!

  • you bloody hypocrite after ragging my boy only hours before! ;)

    I still maintain that Alfonso is a better driver but it is good to see Kimi back up there again, mostly to see how much he says is the press conference =P

  • Force India - really have made some impressive gains..
    Weber - is officially Jinxed....
    Barichello - makes way to much of a fuss after a win... he must HTFU
    Kimi - Ok, fair enough. You are good and drive a Ferrari... I expect that from you at the very least.
    Hamilton - Loser...

  • Ferrari got a very lucky podium today. Fuck knows what happened to Hamilton on that last lap.
    Good race tho.

  • hamilton - loser...

  • Anyone who seriously thinks Hamilton is a worse driver than Massa or Raikkonen is bloody nuts.

  • thanks!

    I dont think Massa necessarily is, but Kimi is if he drives to his real ability.

  • Which he rarely does. The two best racers, I'd argue, are Hamilton and Alonso. And how well did Hamilton do when they were in the same team together? In Hamilton's debut season. I'm not his greatest fan - dislike the corporate way he comes over in interviews - but the guy is very fast.
    I had high hopes for Vetel but he seems to have gone off the boil in the second half of the season, which is a bit of a disappointment. And Kubica has disappeared this season.

  • admittedly since Kimi won WC hes lost interest. But I wouldnt put Hamilton in the same league as Kimi, Hamilton's still a rookie, thats not to say once hes matured a little, he may show some real potential.

  • I'm probably going to regret saying this =P

    ...but, I think Hamilton is a fantastic racer, definitely right up there with the best, I don't think anybody could really argue that, he's still a little hot-headed but to be fair, although he threw away a podium position (which I loved seeing admittedly) it's not like he was in the championship battle and needed to be conservative, he's just going for any position he can get at the minute, he just went too far today.

    On a good day, Kimi would have Hamilton i'd say, he can just turn on some speed and set fastest lap after fastest lap, when he can be bothered.

    Massa is somewhere in the middle, not a huge risk taker so he doesn't make the most of all the chances he gets, but at the same time he doesn't mess up his races that often, and when he's got a clear track he can just drive off into the distance as we've seen him do many times.

    Vettel is a great talent who's had some horrible luck with his engines (Germans being sabotaged by the French, coincedince? =P) and today his car looked pretty hard to drive. Webber as always just seems to be unlucky so much of the time, kind of like Kimi at McL.

    Kubica is like Kimi, but not as fast, and more prone to complaining when things aren't going his way, personally I can't wait until he leaves the sport for that reason.

    Oh I knew there was something I forgot, Alonso is the best! =P

  • And how well did Hamilton do when they were in the same team together?

    Just on that note, where everybody says that Hamilton was miles better than Alonso.

    The team favoured Hamilton, partially because he was brought up in the racing world by McLaren, partially because Alonso expected No.1 status and there was a fair few toys chucked out of his pram when he found that wasn't the case. Also, the two have very different preferences when it comes to how to drive their cars, Hamilton prefers a car that oversteers quite a bit and has a pretty loose rear end (as he demonstrates everytime he slides through a corner =P) whereas Alonso is the opposite, preferring a car that's easy on the tyres and tends to understeer more. The McLaren was definitely more suited to Hamilton's style, it was always pretty loose which, especially when compared to the Ferrari, the McLaren could light up it's tyres very quickly which meant it was always great in quali but sometimes struggled to manage it's tyres near the end of the race, whereas Ferrari were the opposite, always struggling to get heat into the tyres quickly as it was always very easy on them, meaning they didn't heat up quickly enough to get a decent position in quali, but were much better prepared for the race. Also one last note about the Hamilton v Alonso thing, remember that they finished the season on the same amount of points, so it's not like Hamilton walked all over Alonso =P

    P.S. Apologies for the lengthy post, blame Oliver ;)

  • ^ Can't really argue with any of that TBH. Fair appraisal all round.
    Shame about Alonso behavior at Mclaren, I did kind of like him up until then :(
    He is the most 'well rounded' of all the drivers on the grid at the moment IMO.

  • Re Kimi, They're all a bit lazy really when they don't have the best car!!!
    heavy stare in Buttons direction

  • ^ well rounded? stroppy and immature ......... so Ive heard :)

  • For sure ;P i meant ability tho it kills me to say it..... arghhhhhhhh!!!
    He's a cock!!! ;)
