Listen kid, if you are american which I sorta assume you are.......then no you'd be a bad Indy Car driver that no one even knows the name of who won maybe once or twice
No one likes Indy Car remember that......Risk Breaker

I think that's a pretty accurate description of the thread, imo.

And why would you do that?
That was my thought as well. Still taking ideas of course.

It's not always about fucking Raikkonen. If we're not having a Webber-based thread title with all the Webber fans in this thread, we're sure-as-shit not having a Kimi one.
Fight!
Well your fucking wrong, I'm English. So quiet you.Listen kid, if you are american which I sorta assume you are.......then no you'd be a bad Indy Car driver that no one even knows the name of who won maybe once or twice

do you think sky sports will make an intro video to the F1 season for the telly? just thinking about it, that kind of stuff really adds to the season when watching it on the bbc.
Non-regular thread poster, comes in here and calls you "kid", assumes you're from the US (despite the obvious top hat and monocle in your avatar, clearly indicating your heritage) and pays you out because the best you'd be is in a bottom-tier team for a sport he strongly dislikes (where most of us don't have any particular distaste for any motor racing... just look at the motorsport thread).
Bravo, good sir.

Americans can succeed in F1. Remember Michael Andretti? No no, remember Scott Speed? Oh, wait.
I expect there to be another American F1 driver by 2015. Plenty of good open wheel drivers who are young and talented. The thing is, are they going to be able to afford to buy their way onto a team with a decent car to show their talent at the highest level and then be able to land a spot on one of the top tier teams?

Alexander Rossi will probably be the next American driver and I have high hopes for his success.

Papa Andretti was pretty good, but that is going back a ways now. If Canadians count then Gilles and Jacques were not bad. But yeah, long time between drinks.

With the number who have scored a permanent drive, they're about at the same ratio of memorable drivers with most other countries.
Been posted?
Hamilton and Vettel suffer contrasting fortunes in Jerez
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/16973677
Hamilton's response is quite a contrast compared to what was claimed a few days ago.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
That's some pretty bad spin from the BBC to be honest, using a few words from the same interview but taken out of context because all of the cars have less rear grip than last year, Vettels full comment was:
It's quite a leap to take that and state he's complaining or to find any real contrast between them in my opinion

I was drunk (and still am - heads spinning pretty badly right now).
I do apologise for butchering the Queen's English.

Why? I don't get it. It is because of Sky TV retransmiting the f1 season this year? If so, it has to be a more universal thing. There's plenty of us who are not british.
Err they'd have had a Ferrari engine and still have won. The difference between the two isn't that big to have affected Brawn's utter dominance.
Alonso has been making excuses? All I've seen him doing is proving he's still probably the best driver on the grid for two years going.
I don't get it.

Yeah sure...that's why he finished 4th last year.
Maybe i will change the title thread to
Formula 1 2012 (ot) of Alonso fan's, what will be your excuses this year?
or
Formula 1 2012 (ot) of Alonso fan's, U Y no CRY more?
Note: I'm from Barcelona, and i've been watchiing F1 all my life (i'm 29), and i've grown pretty tired of the people that just support Alonso because he's spanish and who started watching f1 because of him. He is really a great driver, but not the best.

I think this page proves why so many threads have crap subtitles.

I think they are implying that without the investment from Mercedes that Brawn GP would never have competed in the championship because they would have gone bankrupt.
All of them.

i support Vettel, Glock and Kobayashi!
edit: actually Kimi, but i really can't stand Lotus

I'm from Australia and I'm a big Button fan, Rosberg seems like a nice guy as well.
I have a huge amount of respect for most of the drivers, but Webber or Button winning always puts the biggest smile on my face.
Damn, this is pretty good.

He's spanish guys, don't mind him. There are A LOT of Alonso haters here. It's unbelievable, I know, and I've always thought it's just because of the region where he was born, but that's how it is.
He was on my ignore list already since his first post in this thread was "I'm all out for Vettel crushing Alonso again this year.", and he only has 27 posts, that must be a new record. He's clearly obsessed with Nando
