who's that guy going upto the podium for Brawn GP~?
he looks like a taller version of Bourdais~ lol
he looks like a taller version of Bourdais~ lol
and that's the BEST strategic call Ferrari has made the whole weekend~!
or should I mean the only strategic call where they didn't stuff it up~
Lewis did really eventually did made it onto the podium, well not quite literally, after Trulli was penalised...
apparantly Trulli gone off the track when the safety car was deployed, so Lewis passed him when he's off the track, Trulli then came back to re-pass Lewis, and Trulli was handed a penalty after the race.
the god must be really helping the Brawn team, Rubens' car was indestructable and that late crash between Vetel and Kubica bounced him back upto 2nd place~!
at least Force India is run by an Indian, Super Aguri was run by a Japanese, but as far as I know, Peter Windsor isn't an American~?
what I didn't get is why is he all of a sudden so patriotic to America~? (other than the business reasons behind it)
just one problem with Bourdais thru, he's French after all and it sounds like they want an American~?
and continue on the Marco bashing of sort, he is in A1GP now and he hasn't done anything special yet, and A1GP is already filled with second-rated drivers most of the time anyway...

but there are differences as to how often football teams go around the globe, how many people they need to send out each time, and do they need to operate their own factory~?
I'm just guessing the expenses involved would be different in nature (slightly), and perhaps different in amounts.
as for who that pays, it's sponsors, and people buying merchandises, I guess there're not much difference there is it~? just that football teams get to keep the money they got from ticket sales (?).
football, all the money goes to the player/coaches/whoever.
motorsport, not only do u need to pay the driver, you also need to operate a whole team of people, keep a factory or workshop of some sort running, buy some tyres (some get theirs sponsored), burn some oil/petrol (some get theirs sponsored), transports equipments all over the world (where as footballs only need to transport the people involved, and some balls, and some shirts), and the list would goes on....
judging by how many X-Bow DC crashed, he was struggling in those too~
they are just accounting numbers.
there are too much accountants can do with the numbers, and it is only normal to suddenly "adjust some of the expenses" or adjust some "values of the assets" during the recession, and then blame the "loss" on the recession~
luckily it is just one small part of their special deal was made known.
Ferrari getting more than others were widely known already anyway, Bernie only disclosed extra info regarding the prize money for winning the constructors, that Ferrari would've got 80mil more than McLaren.
which in theory should kind of mean Bernie should be hoping that McLaren wins the constructors too~! lol
how twisted was your theory~?
no matter how the "fine" or "penalty" was handled, it was still a big dent in their budget none the less.
and not forget they havn't proved any of Ferrari information was used on the McLaren, all they proved was some conversations, which Montoya (who has ditched off to NASCAR by then) said was very usual, something along the lines of they all knew each other's weight distribution etc.
Toyota also was accused of stealing Ferrari's systems, did FIA do anything about that~? No they didn't.
even Midland managed to have on their hands DETAILED DRAWINGS of both Red Bulls and Toro Rosso cars to try and proof that both are in fact the same car, isn't that spying on your competitors too~?
and also the Renault example mentioned earlier.
so as I said, they had need a lots of investments and developments to be competitive in WRC spec cars, which will end soon anyway, so why not pull out now and "consider the future".
and where did I said I expect Subraru to keep the same model the whole next decade~? or that S2000 was the "sole" reason for them to pull out~?
all that I said was there were RUMOURS that Suzuki and Subraru not liking the S2000 rules BEFORE the financial crisis, which was also reported on Autosport. Something along the lines of why bother throwing plenty of money on developing their uncompetitive WRC spec machines when it'll be ditched in a couple of years anyway, and I believe Subraru has said something even stronger, but the S2000 rules has since been modified...
they'd need a sh*tload of investments and developments to get their current car to be competitive with the Ford and Citroen...
why bother continue spending money on something that'll be discontinued in a couple of years time~?
havn't there been rumours about Subraru and Suzuki both doesn't really like the idea of S2000 BEFORE the financial crisis~?
they just suddenly got a pretty good excuse, or it is part of the causes, for pulling out of WRC...
they just suddenly got a pretty good excuse, or it is part of the causes, for pulling out of WRC...
because Schumacher was smart enough not to say out loud "I want a crap teammate" and "I can't compete if my teammate is at least on the same level as me"~
I thought Monaco is:
a). the only GP that doesn't have to pay Bernie anything
b). but they still got to tell Bernie what to do anyway
I think the latest mondeo has grown quite a lot in size through, making it very incompatible (or uncompetitive) for BTCC...
hatchback is the way to go... short car with long(ish) wheelbase and short overhangs...
oops so I should keep myself right out of the devil's conversation~
ooh and on a completely different side note, we now has a first time ever black F1 World Champion and a first time ever black president for the US, how time has changed... lol

that came from what I have read before regarding to what u posted, and what u said about the Heikki gifting the position to Lewis~
I would be VERY worried that he would have had a heart attack when Vettel passed Hamilton~?
I nearly had one myself~ lol
sorry I DID read the quote regarding the points I was making~
obviously YOU NEVER WATCHED F1 BEFORE, or YOU DON'T GIVE A STUFF ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT OTHER TEAMS OTHER THAN MCLAREN OR FERRARI~?
what happened at Germany was common practice amongst F1 teams for crying out loud, one driver in a team is clearly faster than the other, of course the slower driver (who isn't leading at the time obviously), would let the other driver go through, so the faster driver can go attack the drivers in front, which in the end the team would score more points. Doesn't take a huge amount of brain powers to work that one out. that happened all the time...
Where as the swap of position in China was just that, a pure swap of position, where THE FASTER DRIVER gave the position away to the SLOWER DRIVER at that particular race, notice any difference in the two scenario~?
havn't watched the posts before yet so I won't comment on your other points.... yet~
it is also similarly blatant to ignore what happened at other races through...
AND IF NOT FOR THAT SPA PENALTY, Lewis would have won 6 and Massa 5, don't forget Massa got a race win handed to him on a shiny golden plate. (and similarly one taken away from the engine going boom in Hungary, but that's his team fault, not from outside influence)
or what if Massa didn't spun out in Malaysia all by himself...
or whatever happened at Australia (was it an engine failure that eventually put him out~? but he was down at the back anyway after being the only car that spun on the first corner thanks to the first ever start with no TC).
he might be unlucky in the end, but don't forget he also had an extremely crappy start to the season.
Hamilton is only in his 2nd year on F1 too, he still got plenty to learn and plenty to improve on, where as how many years it took Massa (and a few others but I can't be bothered naming them) to reach the level of performance he's at now~?
when they were using LAST year's car....
how amazing could that be that they improved significantly when they finally got their hands on THIS year's car~?
