I'm sure we're merely seconds away from a racist "kamikaze" slur. Who's gonna be first with it?

 

[PdotMichael]

I will ask Alonso for some samurai quotes.

Your use of quotations doesn't negate you as being the first to dive head first into the fire.

 

[DrM]

Alonso to Ferrari was rumoured for years before it happened.

Every WDC is linked with Ferrari, as soon he becomes a champion.

"Oil Leak"

Well that's one way of putting it!

 

[DrM]

I think 'Car explosion' will happen this season

 

[dubc35]

Hopefully we'll get a "car takes flight" as well. He's overdue on one of those.

I guess so, now with Vettel constantly linked to them.

When you see it all like that it really is fucked up. Vettel needs the horseshoe uninstalled from his ass.

Jesus :/ Looks like Webber's driving in the unpatched F1 2013 by Codemasters.

Lotus might be making a move for Hulkenberg in 2014 it seems.

 

[NHale]

Lotus might be making a move for Hulkenberg in 2014 it seems.

It's the only logical option. He's by far the best driver available and if it's true that Telmex aren't paying for Perez, McLaren should dump him right now and go for Hulkenberg.

But Whitmarsh don't want to admit he made a mistake last year unless he gets a big name signing to replace Perez.

 

[Leunam]

I think McLaren's mistake was redesigning their car in the wake of Hamilton leaving. Next year would be a better indicator of whether signing Perez was a mistake when they hopefully have a better car.

 

[Shaneus]

Hulkenberg in Lotus would be fucking epic. Do we know if they've signed Grosjean back on, or could they be going with someone else? (Petrov?!?)

 

[dubc35]

Yep, McL should have signed the Hulk last year. As for next year, assuming Lotus can pay him, I think they're a better fit. Who knows in the long run though with Honda stealing the Merc engine for 2015.

Lotus would lose Total's sponsorship if they didn't have a French pilot. Grosjean isn't going anywhere.

Hm. Doesn't make any difference to RBR though. Although I suppose the same case could be made for STR.

 

[Lach]

If I were Hülkenberg I'd hesitate signing with a team that is known to not pay their drivers wages after canceling his contract because his team wasn't able to pay their drivers wages....
Lotus would be a step up though..

Just saw Rush. Awesome movie, the end is ridiculously well shot. I'd like to think it has a strong shot at an Oscar for best visual effects, but I feel like that Gravity movie could be serious competition for that award.
One thing that threw me for a loop in that movie was some American (?) actor playing team principal at Mclaren. He sort of looked like Alistair I guess, but it seemed like some weird attempt to shoehorn an American accent into a film that would otherwise be without them.

That would be Teddy Mayer, who was American.

While the film generally was very well made, the CGI in the full screen view of the Lauda Crash looked horrible. Also the Vienna far-away shot before Lauda borrows the money was from present day and nobody cared enough to edit the cars out that give it away even for non Viennese.

Brad Joyce to Adrian Sutil
We need to push a bit more now. We need to catch up the cars in front.

Adrian Sutil to Brad Joyce
The car’s ******* slow. I can’t go faster. It’s a piece of ****.

lol

 

[Leunam]

What are the chances we get a completely new lineup at Force India next year?

Interesting:

 

[dubc35]

Suzuka!!

Best circuit on the calendar IMO.

 

[Shaneus]

From: Simon Rennie To: Mark Webber Just a couple of reminders. Obviously you’ve got KERS at the start. We know how powerful it is at turn two but also at turn three. And just remember it’s a long race, you don’t need to do it all into turn one, OK?

That's the sound of a man frustrated.

Red Bull's super secret TC system.

Coulthard confirmed for getting better parts than Webber.

Interlagos secured 'til 2020.

 

[Leunam]

Fantastic news.

It seems that Janson is having weight problems.

Still doesn't cover everything though. I'm sure there are countless times (moreso on one than the other, but that's from my perspective so grain of salt etc.) of when pit strategies have clearly advantaged one driver and heavily disadvantaged the other.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Damn. Suzuka is blood-thirsty this year. So many shunts so far, and it's just FP2. Perez's off looked the worst. He looks shaken-up, but hopefully he's good to drive tomorrow. Never want to see anyone get hurt in this sport. PEACE.

 

[neoanarch]

Ice on Perez elbow? Shit.

Yeah, thats known information, but some keep trying to put a 'drama' spin on it.
Webber isnt as successful as Vettel, because he isnt as good as him, its very simple.
Webber should be like Patrese in that rocketship, but he hasnt been finishing 2nd in the WDC....

hmmmm....

Apparently natural causes.

She was presenting her new book "Life is a gift" on the 14th.

[Yen]

Very sad

 

[Juicy Bob]

Horrible news about de Villota. Such a brave, strong woman who always seemed to have this cheerful, sunny disposition about her.

I feel very sorry for her family. Her commitment to improving safety with the FIA and the Women and Motor Sport Commission will no doubt be her legacy.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Sad news indeed.

 

[Shaneus]

Aw geez

 

[Staab]

Horrible news
It's very surprising as well, I thought she had made a full recovery of her accident, I guess something wasn't completely healed and lead to a sudden death

 

[Wes]

Utterly sad news

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Authorities in Spain saying that Maria de Villota died from a heart attack. Funeral could be as early as this weekend.

Blick says Alonso to McLaren a done deal.

 

[brotkasten]

Blick says Alonso to McLaren a done deal.

That would be hilarious.

 

[Shaneus]

Blick says Alonso to McLaren a done deal.

As in, next year? So Kimi #1 at Ferrari?

This is madness. Funny what a Webber leaving can instigate (although majority of this would've happened anyway, I'd think).
