source?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

They mentioned it on Sky.

 

[pants]

I just saw something resembling that on PlanetF1 too.

IMO any team that has enough money should always make the first order of business 'sign Adrian Newey'. At any cost.

 

[Nicktendo86]

I don't see it, why would he at his age want to go to Italy? I thought one of the reasons he went to red bull was because they let him design boats, his interests are not all f1 anymore and Ferrari would be a huuuuge task.

 

[ramparter]

Guess they will have to fire Alonso if he accepts.

 

[Leonsito]

Mercedes doesn't have Newey and they are doing ok, I think Newey is one of the greatest, but he is not guarantee.

However It would be fun if Alonso goes to Mercedes and Ferrari sign Vettel and Newey lol

 

[Zeknurn]

Fuck sake Ferrari.

How do they not notice that before sending him out?

 

[operon]

Have Ferrari made an offer to sign Red Bull's wind tunnel yet?

 

[DrM]

How do they not notice that before sending him out?

They forgot to turn on the monitor for Kimi's telemetry

 

[Zeknurn]

They said on SkyF1 that neither Maldonado or Grosjean have ever finished a Monaco GP. I had to look it up and it's true.



Edit: Gearbox failure for Räikkönen. Another weekend ruined for him.

Well Mercedes has Aldo Costa. Formerly Head of Design and Development at Scuderia Ferrari, also known as the scapegoat for all the problems in the 2010 and 2011 cars.

 

[Hammer24]

Newey wants to be with his kids, and doesn´t want them to relocate from Britain.
I guess FER would have to offer a lot more, to change his mind.

BBC is saying

BBC Radio 5 live pit lane reporter Jennie Gow says that Kimi Raikkonen had a gearbox issue where was stuck in third gear. It's a gearbox used for practice, though, so he won't have to take a grid penalty for the change.

 

[malyce]

Sick lap from Alonso.

 

[DrM]

Ferrari looks desperate for attention with low fuel glory laps.

 

[brotkasten]

What's the story behind this? Was Kimi drunk?

GOtta keep the team's morale up.

Leave him alone, he knows what he's doing.

He really is on another planet.

I love it that Vettel revved up as if saying "I'm taking off whether you get out of the way or not".

 

[brotkasten]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

 

[Fantomex]

Hey guys long time no talk. I still lurk though. This Alonso time in this Ferrari has me a little intrigued, instead of being excited the past has made me react like this instead:

 

[Nicktendo86]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

Great design. Should be permanent!

 

[kharma45]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

That's class.

 

[Leunam]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

Easily. His designs are usually ultra shit and boring but every now and then he (or his designer I guess) nails it.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Kimi taking "not giving a fuck" to a completely different level

 

[Fantomex]

That's the only Silverware he's getting this year anyway.

 

[Pryce]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

That's hot.

 

[dubc35]

Crap, forgot FP1 and 2 were a day early in Monaco.

 

[Psychotext]

That's the only Silverware he's getting this year anyway.

I see what you were going for, but he already got a third place.

 

[Psychotext]

I think the real version of those sketches above doesn't look so bad:

 

[Shaneus]

lol nice

Easily. His designs are usually ultra shit and boring but every now and then he (or his designer I guess) nails it.

"I want my next helmet design to be completely devoid of colour... just like my personality"

 

[brotkasten]

lol nice


"I want my next helmet design to be completely devoid of colour... just like my personality"

Vettel has a great personality and can be pretty funny, too, but in this sport, you gotta be a dick every now and then, or you end up like Button, Massa, Barichello or Webber.

 

[Psychotext]

Yeah, saying Vettel is devoid of personality is way off base.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

so sexy.

 

[Breakage]

Vettel's helmet.

Damn, that's such a cool helmet design. Looks like something out of Halo 3: ODST.

 

[Chris R]

Crap, forgot FP1 and 2 were a day early in Monaco.

Lucky you didn't miss much!

 

[bobnowhere]

That's the only Silverware he's getting this year anyway.

Amazing, saw it yesterday, looks like a bronze statue driving the car.

 

[Shaneus]

Yeah, saying Vettel is devoid of personality is way off base.

Oh I know. But if you can't detect that I'm mostly kidding when I say over-the-top stuff about him, perhaps I'm not laying it on thick enough

 

[Jin_7]

Vettel already won the Monaco GP.

Best design by far.

Even more downforce.
Kimi knew he was faster on foot than in his Ferrari.

 

[Hammer24]

Would he even need the money?

We´re talking about the most ego driven sport in the world, where money=respect. Thanks, Bernie!

 

[Psychotext]

Well... Alonso definitely not at Mercedes any time soon, Rosberg has just signed for another two years: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/27523534

 

[brotkasten]

He's been linked to McLaren more than Mercedes anyway.

 

[Psychotext]

I know, but it's nice to end one bit of speculation for sure.

 

[Hammer24]

Huh? That deal was signed on the quiet at the beginning of the season. I thought I reported this here?

 

[itsgreen]

Complete track blockage in the hairpin and red flag in the first GP2 race

 

[Mastah]

Huh? That deal was signed on the quiet at the beginning of the season. I thought I reported this here?

It's Friday in Monaco, so it's perfect time for "breaking" news.


GP2, what a mess:

 

[itsgreen]

Well that only took 35 minutes...

 

[Business]

That's the only Silverware he's getting this year anyway.

I personally miss the days when a driver had one iconic helmet design. This one in particular doesn't do it for me, the metal effect looks as fake as if done at home DIY with a silver spray.

 

[Psychotext]

Wow, that was a hell of an overtake into the final corner by Coletti.

...and again. Wow.
