The amount of times I've been racing in front of my computer, doing an awesome pass and be like "haha, I feel like Hakkinen on Schumacher in 1999!", I was really disrespecting him as well, of course?

For god's sake, the guy was driving a Formula 1 car at full-speed and yells something into his teamradio (which continues to baffle me as to how they are able to concentrate on what they are saying while driving). You REALLY think he was carefully planning to diss Ayrton Senna compare himself to him being equally as great?

I am almost wishing for teamradios to be banned from live tv-broadcasting because the amount of ridiculous discussions they evoke.

Hell, imagine if we had a live audiofeed from football-players while they're playing

btw, thx for changing the text below my username. Unfortunately it tells more about you than me. There are number of people who complain about certain drivers, but you've decided to single out me after I made two comments all through the season (the other one being about Heidfeld after his sacking).

I dont have the powers to do that btw

But if you really wanna know, it was something admins and mods agreed on

Ok then, I thought all moderators can do that. I guess someone else doesn't like me then. Excuse me if I offended you in any manner.

Still, only two comments all year and I'm a master whinger :lol:

Custard should get Dexia to lend him some sponsorship...

o wait

It's pretty obvious that the Virgin/Marussia Number 2 seat will change year by year. Pic will just get turfed for Bobby W in 2013.

Jerome was better than di Crashi, although in that shitbox nothing stands out, especially when Glock is your team mate

He could invest his saved up money to fill up our debts. National hero. Sacrificing his Formula 1 career to help his country

Now that would be a great story.

It will be interesting to see which comes first, a teammate giving Glock a serious run for his money or Marussia actually managing to defeat anyone else than HRT on a regular basis :lol:

phil1993 · PostPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 8:16 pm

Well you'd hope that they'll move forward a second or so next year. The McLaren partnership, dumping the CFD etc. Just have to hope Marussia won't go all Spyker on the team.

Caterham have the best chance to join the midfield however it remains to be seen what Williams does. Before this season STR was the last of the midfield teams and they've stepped up a gear, likewise Force India in 2009. Tbh, I hope for any of the new teams to finally challenge the Williams, STR and Sauber and it looks like Caterham will be the ones doing it. If they remain best part of a second off the midfield pace in 2012, I'll be disappointed. Three years is just about the time when the performance upgrade should be expected.

Raikkonen to Lotus with Nokia funding will apparently be announced at the top of the hour.

Vassago · PostPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:09 pm

Safe to say, Grosjean won't be happy about that one!

LOL Is it April 1st? This is the same news expected to be delivered in 2009 and 2010.

That said, I hope it is true.

RtN · PostPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:22 pm

Well, if Nokia's funding outstrips what Petrov would bring...bye. :wave:

kals · PostPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:22 pm

That I hope is true also.

Could be correct, there is massive Nokia-event happening in London (with a visual live performance by Deadmau5 at the exact same time, 9PM GMT)

Would be epic.

Petrov also said today that he is talking to two other F1 teams.
