thursday 1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 well, shocking revelations. Hamilton did not use the F word but merely told Denis to swivel. Glad that's been made clear. Now go swivel. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I missed it. Was it a good race? Things getting quite tight up there at the top. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The money is on Alonso back to Renault next year for a Flavio love-in. Goodbye Fisi, and tough luck to Piquet jnr, who was in line for his seat. Can't say I'm too worried. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Is Nelson Piquet still alive?/ I can't remember ever hearing about him since he retired Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Piquet junior. Senior is still alive and probably the most unloved driver in GP history. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Piquet snr pissed in the car and asked his mechanics to investigate the mystery fluid. That made him very popular. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Prost bored me to death with his safe driving. But Senna is the most loved. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 At the time I loathed McLaren. In retrospect, Prost and Senna in the same team were a great combination. Alonso isn't in their class. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I just remember that Piquet used to drive in a car decorated with John Player Specials!!! Link to post Share on other sites

All the cars used ground effects for a period. Chapman designed a Lotus that was banned. It was the twin chassis car, where all the aero loads were fed directly to the wheels. That freed up the monocoque and suspension. It was banned for having a "moveable aerodynamic device" Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Warning, spoiler! imagine that. hitting a corner at 160, ground effect and straight off. Damn! no grip, the tires are off the ground Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Niki Lauda: "Instead of complaining, moaning and bitching, which is what Alonso is doing at the moment, all he needs to do is concentrate on driving quicker. He is using all kinds of excuses. He should have done this after the second or third race of the season after he realised how quick Hamilton is. He didn't do that. My worry is if he continues to find the reasons somewhere else, and not in his right foot, he will lose out because Hamilton is doing a perfect job, simply concentrating on his driving and he's quick."

HoTRoD 2 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Was it a good race? Quote: The threat of expulsion from the championship hangs over McLaren in light of "new evidence" in the spy scandal that will see the World Motor Sport Council reconvene in Paris to discuss the issue. "If you sit down and think about it, I could have what I've worked for and what all the team have worked for, taken away," assessed Hamilton. "And when you really think about that, you think 'wow' I could be out of a job next weekend and then what happens. I wonder if they did spy? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think it's total borrox. McLaren will be working on next-year's car now. By April the design will be fixed. Another team's data is flatulence. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 A disaffected Ferrari employee passed on unsolicited information. That's not spying. This whole thing is bullshit. I've never been a McLaren fan, but Ron Dennis has more integrity than the FIA and Ferrari put together. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 if they are so clean then why accept it. Being offered is one thing but accepting is a party to act. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 McLaren didn't accept it. Coghlan did. Punishing McLaren for the idiocy of an employee doesn't wash. McLaren and Williams are the soul of F1. These teams have kept F1 alive as a sport while Ferrari and all the other corporate fcuckwits have stuffed it. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 "McLaren have hired an unlikely figure to represent them in Paris for their crucial hearing on Thursday. Former commentary verteran Murray Walker will be summarising the whole Stepneygate saga from beginning to end. "The hope is that the World Motorsport Council will lose the will to live before Murray ends his opening statement," said a spokesman. Walker is due in the witness box on Thursday, Friday and Saturday - unless we're very much mistaken." Link to post Share on other sites
