Formula One ( F1 )

Methinks they are not wrong.

Besides, in all his apparent experience of F1 racing he couldn't seem to keep his car on the track and qualified on the 6th row.

When Fiats are bad they're terrible. Prost famously said that driving his Fiat was like driving a bus. He got fined for that.

...The Spanish nation all think that Alonso's an 18 carat cunt.

No, I think some Spanish people will back Alonso no matter what.

I was wondering when that would be posted again.

This somewhat hyperbolic statement seems to ignore that the fact that it's pretty likely that they BOTH drive better than you AND play football better than you...

I'll give you the Football, but on the few occasions when I have driven a car I have managed not to crash it into anyone or flip it round and throw it in a gravel trap.

Bet neither of them can make a website as well as me.

I don't suppose either of them need to though.

Anthony Hamilton is clearly a driven man, in every sense of the word.

If everything was going swimmingly then why did his apparently gifted offspring choose other management?

Lewis is a busted flush. He had his time and he capitalised on it once. For a team that was built around him, both sides are now unsure about where he'll be sitting next season. McLaren did it once for him and he reciprocated. His arrogance didn't allow for the fact that there was (and is) somebody better than him.

I would be genuinely elated for him to win another title, but I think an ego the size of his will always be difficult to fit into a carbon fibre monocoque.

Because I think Lewis had outgrown the rather Caribbean father-son dynamic, especially when that father was now his employee. Difficult for Anthony to change to full employee behaviour, when Lewis had been the dutiful son for 2 decades. That had to change.

Lewis is a busted flush? Really? Are you quite certain of that? I suggest that you are as wrong on this as Kim Jong Il was on just about everything else. I grant that Jenson is the more intelligent driver, and maybe the more mature person too, but Lewis is the racer, and people want to see racers - ask Bernie.

As for egos....I think an F1 driver would normally have a much larger ego than most....as the journey to that vaulted place is beset with hangers-on, lackeys and lustful boobies. You can't have it both ways.

Winners want to win, and they regard second place as a bit of a failure. Ayrton Senna and others, like Lewis and Schuey, don't take kindly to not being at the front. Maybe they throw their dolls out of the pram, but thats because they hate failure, as they take it personally. Prost (the professor) was little different, and if knocking someone off the track was in his favour, then off they went.

I think people don't like Lewis because to them, he appears "uppity". Oh well, thats just the way it always will be. The same applied to Muhammad Ali - he didn't have the humility that many people find so attractive. I suggest that the bridesmaids show humility, and the bride f*cks the rich hubby.

Thanks for that - I'll make a prediction: Lewis will NEVER be world champion again with his current team.

I don't dislike Lewis, I just think that there are far more likeable characters out there. He appears to be rather one-dimensional, rather like many professional footballers today. And anyway, who really gives a toss what Bernie has to say on it? No-one's been interested in anything he has to say for at least a decade...

Everything will be different from now on as a result of selling out to Sky.

Greed has killed something else.

Thanks for that - I'll make a prediction: Lewis will NEVER be world champion again with his current team. .

We shall see.

And anyway, who really gives a toss what Bernie has to say on it? No-one's been interested in anything he has to say for at least a decade....

That is probably unintentionally funny, but it really is a peach. :-D

Are you a gambling man, good sir?

No. Not at all. But my predictions oppose yours, .....for what its worth.

I reckon that nice, quiet, gentle on his car and tyres Jenson will out-score Lewis this season.

If Jenson gets a flyer tomorrow, and gets ahead of Lewis, the race is his,

If Lewis has learnt anything from Jenson, then he'll lead, but manage his tyres also.

Whatever, a McLaren 1-2 appears the likely outcome.

Renault, by-the-by, appear to have a good engine this year, and so do Mercedes. Should be good viewing.

I'm looking forward to settling down in a boozer and watching the footage.

Serious question here. Always been a fan of F1, but never understood one thing.

Why do teams design a completely different car/chassis/engine/whatever every off-season? If it ain't broke, why fix it? (Red Bull in mind here).

I understand different manufacturers design new things that 'might' have an advantage over others, but surely this can't continue to happen, otherwise they'd all be doing 500mph by now.

Evolution.

Largely down to regulation changes between seasons - e.g. if they ban traction control then you need to rethink your aerodynamic package and suspension etc. Then there's the occasional complete paradigm shifts - V10 to V8, KERS, turbocharging. In seasons with little change to the regs there's also the fact that the top teams will have had all their advantages figured out over the previous season and need to change a seemingly perfect design to stay ahead of the crowd.

For the simple fact the sport never stands still. All teams are looking to squeeze out just tenths of seconds any way they can. They continue to develop right through a season too, adding new parts and testing new things, pretty much like plenty of people on here with their bikes. They just can't stop tinkering.

Therefore Dammit is the Formula 1 of LFGSS...

Bit of a stretch.

Well, he is quite tall.

Why do this year's cars look like the gurn of a yawning Tapier?

Blame Dammit.

Now then, Massa, why does he even have a super licence, let alone a Ferrari seat? He's utterly talentless. He's the Emile Heskey of F1.

Well, he could have have won the World Championship in 2008 instead of of bring a point behind Hamilton if Glock had actually resisted Hamilton in Brazil and Kovalainen hadn't done an impression of a chocolate fireguard (allegedly on team orders) in the German GP.

Woohoo go Jenson! The red bulls're looking ropey..
