FACK i hate Hamilton.

He has ENORMOUS talent, but he is a media whore.

And i can't say much for his dad either.

FKN 2 faced sunnovabitches.

And i didn't even like Alonso before.

But i still say, GO KIMI!!!!

Talkign silly season for a moment. Here is a bombshell. Ralf to Williams in 2008!

Im crazy to think this but i just have a feeling. Wurz. I hate to admit it has failed miserably. He may be a good tester, but cant turn it on in quaoifying and although a solid racer you just cant race from that far back on the grid. Frank looks to be keeping him on and the two of them have agreed to a gag order...which Wurz would only agree to if he had a testign role for 2008.

So Williams need a driver that can along with Rosberg bring Williams back to the front of the grid. Love him or hate him Ralf is a GP winner, and on merit, not by luck. He doesnt need the money and would take a drive with Williams for next to nothing. Frank and the Williams budget will love that.

He is coming from Williams' engine supplier and is an ex Williams driver so there is the history of working with one another so no 4-5 race getting to know one another. Frank always seemed to like Ralf and by Frank/Heads standards never copped the verbal dressign down liek so many departing Williams drivers receive.

His name is Schumacher so the sponsors (existing and any new sponsors) will love that.

Toyota have lots of money and could have blooded any number of qyoung and quick drivers...yet they have stuck it out with Ralf. Any driver getting average/poor resutls but keeps his drive suggests to me that the Team Managers knwo the car they are giving their drivers vs the results and the fact that they are retained tells me that their lack of results is not purely the drivers fault. In a seat next to Rosberg he will be mega motivated to both move up the grid and match the pace of one of th erookie sensations. He is a an ego of F1 and would believe he can do a better job then Rosberg so would not shy from the challenge.

He has years of experience in several teams, different eras of cars etc etc. And he hasnt exactly been blown away by Trulli this year...who is no mug and a GP winner himself. He has announed his leaving Toyota quietly between races and things seem all too relaxed for him...he seems to be thinking he has a drive for next year.

but mostly because of his name = sponsors $$$, and and lack of salary for an F1 big name who can steer to boot....

I cant see how this can happen, but it seems to fit..with the calm and low key way in which Wurz is on the sidelines and the way that Ralf hasnt been chasing drives....it just seems to fit

And one other point. If he kenw he was retiring then you woudl think he would decline being re-elected to the GPDA. I imagine you have to be a current driver to sit on the board otherwise what good are you. He ws only re-elected on the weekend so taking the position suggests he knows he will be racing in 2008. Williams just seems to fit for both parties.

Also i wonder where Kubica woudl have finished if not penalised. Surely he woudl have been a strong contender...he raced well and hard all day. And why cant this guy be leading the championship....here is what he had to say after the banging alst lap with Massa

"Then the finish was the fight with Felipe Massa, which was a bit risky. He overtook me before corner six, then I overtook him back and then into corner ten if I had turned normally he would have hit me and I preferred to finish the race. He pushed me out, I tried to overtake him on the last corner but he went wide and there was more grip off the track and he won the position. We made a bit of action and in the end we laughed."

lol, "he ran wide" haha kubica pushed him off the track as a bit of payback. go poland!

I want to see webber and kubica in either mclaren or BMW. that would be a kick arse pairing. and at least kubica has proven he has the balls to go wheel to wheel, and more importantly when it doesn't come out in his favour (like it didn't at fuji) he is a big enough boy not to whinge about it. he knows he gave as good as he got and has to just take it on the chin.

hahah, ralf at williams? not on your life. Ralfs star is fading, fast. Ralf couldnt bring toyota to the front of the grid and that was with f1s biggest budget! to say he could do better at williams on their budget is just madness.

so lets play this out...silly season is coming on full tilt you know..!

Mac- LH and GP ( Gary Paffet - who has been deserving a drive for years )

Ferrari- FA and KR

Bmw- NH and RK

RBR- MW and DC ( one last round for the veteran )

TR- SV and SB

Honda- JB and RB ( again, one last time for the brazillian )

Toyota- FM and JT

Williams- NR and Nakajima

Renault- HK and NP ( time for LH's kryptonite to reveal himself )

Prodrive- PDR and ( thats one i have no idea about )

SA- Sato and ( unnamed cash rich mobile roadblock )- can i hear anyone saying Diniz?

Spyker ( soon to be RIP )- Karthekayen ( because of the Indian ownership )and AS

Ralf will be given his marchign orders this year and i struggle to see

oh yes, sorry about that...He has given HIMSELF the marching orders and i fail to see how any team can justify paying a lot of money to a dawdling uninspired driver that has had more than his fair share of the F1 pie.

I say this knowing full well that JV, good as he was- AND being a bloody WDC, was bleating on just before defecting to another series that he didnt care a damned bit about the money and just wanted to keep racing. Look where that got him... NASCAR. didnt matter a damned bit in the end, did it?

Toyota hired RS for everything Roy mentioned before and 3 worthless nowhere years later its ending in zip. He didnt even win a race, let a lone an entire championship.surprise, surprise. All that money in toyota and RS couldnt replicate his brothers achievements the way MS did at ferrari. Goes to show you another side of how good MS REALLY was and highlights the areas where RS isnt.

3 people in f1 are fast approaching the end of their careers and rightfully so, theyre aging, have made a shitload of money but dont have the spark anymore no matter how much they bleat on about giving the team their best...

RB is in his last season next year. DC is also going to have his swan song- he knows its time to hang up the gloves and RS... you know... he may just secure a seat with SA or spyker if hes UBER lucky...maybe even prodrive but why would david richards want him???? may as well ask JV back into the fold to develop that new team! Oh yeah and JV dont forget to bring Pollack the Polluck with you!!LOL! :):D:)

If Massa leaves Ferrari, i will be extremely disappointed, he is fast becoming a very talented driver, and now Ferrari give both drivers an equal change of winning, he is really starting to shine!

I just hope next year they can sort out the problems they had this season

Well, looks like Lewis is in the clear...

i dont know... why'd he run wide? i still say it's a combination of all 3's actions.

as to whether or not he did it on purpose, only he knows.

how was the not Hammelton? Form that it looked like Webber was past LH before he got collected cause he's slowed so much, and Webber would be aware that Massa got pinned for passing under the safty car.

that totally seals it for me.

i am so grateful you have posted that great find...not even the Japanese director had that footage.

LH is NOT guilty. His remarks about having MW hounding his ass behind the SC were consistent with all the footage we have. In MHO, LH went right to give himself some space, maybe even for mark too - pull off to the right in the hopes that there wasnt any trouble...and then SV didnt even see what was going on and the rest is history. SV was looking a LONG way right.

There was absolute DAYLIGHT between LH and MW.

SV's fault entirely. He was not paying attention. thats it...

and he crashed into the worst person he could have and at the worst possible time!

I am NOT defending LH but its plain for you to see it if you are in the right frame of mind to be able to accept it and see it for what it really is...

I saw the footage. MW was being super aggressive behind the SC and is it so inconceivable that he was smelling the sweet aroma of his finest hour and it got to him?

i dont think so. It is completely possible and very likely. We havent even considered MW to be at fault and yet it is entirely possible!! biased as aussies we are, admit it. I think we should admit its possible MW choked up on the chance to win this race and he pushed a bit too hard...

unfortunately, it doesnt take away from the fact that he is the unluckiest bastard in the pitlane. Kimis got nothing on him in those stakes. If i see him again next year im going to ask him about this...

until then, the story is done for me and im still hoping like crazy he can finally get a chance to stand on the top step.///

But thing is it was no different to what had been happening for laps....and there wasnt any real dramatic braking by Webbing to avoid the situation. Vettel was just asleep. He had been in that position for laps so he is 99% at fault and Hamilton 1%

Hahahaha! 1 %??? you really are a LH hater arent you Roy O? as long as its just one percent its enough for me to be able to hate on him!LOL :P:):nyaanyaa:
