Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted July 6, 2009 Berne Ecclestone sticks his foot in his mouth again. He'd have made the cars run on time A complete and utter embarrassment. F1 managed to get rid of Max, can Bernie be far behind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josco 49 Posted July 8, 2009 Mosley's mutterings about hanging on face a serious challenge. D'ya reckon in a year or two Max and Bernie might be enjoying a quiet cuppa in Brinsworth House? No. A ) They have far too much money. (Although too much is never enough) B ) They still have a lot of influence. (Although nowhere near as much as they would like to believe) C ) Fame of any kind is an addictive drug. (Although it is a drug I've never tried) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted July 9, 2009 Hum de dum, another day, another abrupt meeting adjournment by 3/4 of the F1 teams. Did they all storm (troop) out? Max and Bernie might have liked that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,670 Posted July 23, 2009 Red Bull first to confirm driver line up for next year, having snagged the current pairing for another year. They're on fire at the moment but if it all gets nasty as they bicker over team orders and favours on the run in, might not be the calmest garage over the next 18 months.

Josco 49 Posted August 12, 2009 Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa Taking what is probably a unilateral stance, I for one, am disappointed. I think Shuey's reappearance would have been interesting at the very least. The current crop of drivers do not have any where near his depth of talent and 'drive' and I am sure the "Rain Meister" would have lapped them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 126 Posted August 12, 2009 According to the enormous headline on today's Bild "Newspaper", he has a broken skull. It's interesting to see that Ferrari seems to be replacing him with some chap who holds the record for the most F1 starts without ever scoring a point and is probably going to destroy their expensive vehicle in a spectacular crash shortly after the start. Perhaps they are trying to gain some sympathy by fielding an underdog. I'll be rooting for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To die for 3 Posted August 12, 2009 Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa Taking what is probably a unilateral stance, I for one, am disappointed. I think Shuey's reappearance would have been interesting at the very least. The current crop of drivers do not have any where near his depth of talent and 'drive' and I am sure the "Rain Meister" would have lapped them all. I'm also disappointed, I'd have loved to see him crash and burn. I would have also loved to see him win, who else could wring an exceptional performance out of an under performing car? At the minute only the driver with the best car (ie the team that can bend the rules the best) seems to win and the rest of them then whinge and talk about updates for the next race. Boring!

Rotten Ali 600 Posted February 19, 2010 I've been lurking on the Autosport forum site for too long of late and picked up some sort of information overload syndrome. Needless to say I've just got to add in here the imminent death of a whole racing team. This year the FIA gave out 4 new slots to race team entrants and the one given in the name USF1 Team looks to all those with a fair insight to be imploding faster than a super nova. Some total of $20m investment - 0 starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You Tube footage currently blocked, but it's only a matter of time until it's linked somewhere else. There is some grainy footage on BBC - I am WELL pissed off, we are going to the MotoGP at Silverstone in a couple of weeks (for five days, WOOP WOOP!) and were looking forward to the prospect of Rossi pissing the whinging Aussie Stoner right off the track. Why oh why couldn't he have waited till after Silverstone to fall over! I do have sympathy though - I snapped my left tibia and fibula in three places a few years back, it hurt like FUCK I can tell you - it's now all fixed together with lots of metalwork but it still gives me jip.

maryportfuncity 10,670 Posted July 22, 2010 Schumi will stay on to win title, maybe in 2011. I'll state my opinion here and now that he hasn't got one more grand prix win in him, let alone another title. I think we're in Lance Armstrong - pretty good for an oldster - territory here. Or does one of the F1 experts hereabouts disagree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we're in Lance Armstrong - pretty good for an oldster - territory here. Or does one of the F1 experts hereabouts disagree? Well, maybe two more GP wins tops. But the cars got to be on par, and at the moment it's not. In fact it's (JB's Brawn) not been on par since the middle of last year. Word on the street is that Webber looks odds-on to drive Schumacher's Merc next year. Time will tell. I can't see MS there next year if he finishes the year without a win.
