2008 F1 Season

[Marco-R34GTT]

sif..

[Kaido_RR]

sif..

hey im a Ferrari support

[ctjet]

heikki needs to pick up the pace, keep the strong showing from the sphincter of the universe going

from memory he had the fastest last sector, so wtf is going on with the rest of the lap?

[JAS-25T]

what time (AEST) is the race on?

[ctjet]

Formula One Grand Prix - 10.45 pm

I hear ITV has yet again dropped the "S" word describing hammo's practice form

great, should be a fantastic race to listen to

[djr81]

He did go P1 in Thursday practice.

Big question is can Williams maintain their practice form or will they fall away in qualifying as they normally do?

[ctjet]

Great... all he needs to do now is dominate on the track for the next decade and win at least 7 more times and the description fits perfectly

wait, what am i saying... 7 more times... lets just start with at least once hey

[Marco-R34GTT]

If I hear 'Hamilton' and 'Senna' spoken in the same breath, I'll f***ing throw a brick at my television.... :D

[dezz]

hahaha nice.

and I wouldn't waste my TV on that little bitch....or a good brick for that matter.

As for the Louise Homoton fans getting excited...its practice.

[djr81]

I don't think anyone is getting excited.

My point was simply that you are never going to stop British TV from hyping British drivers.

LH is just the most recent. Before him were Jenson Button, DC, Damon Hill and worst of all Nigel bloody Mansell. He would drive like a dickhead, fk his car & then the commentary would all be about how desperately unlucky he was.

LH is ok by me. I sort of figure it is a bit harsh to criticise him for not having won 7 world drivers championships half way through his second year in the sport.

[dezz]

I was more reffering to m3gtr telling us to stick it in our pipe and smoke it...anyone would think he won the race already...

[m3gtr]

Its tough to try and defend Hammo. Too many hammo haters in this thread.

I like the guy and try to be fair - he waxed the whole field yesterday and he will do it again today. Hammo 4 pole and Heikki to complete the lockout.

Dont hate on him just because the British media is well and truly biased over him.

I dont pay attention to that garbage. His driving speaks for itself regardless of what you dont like coming out of his mouth in the pre and post race interviews. Since when has that EVER been a measure of a great driver??

I remember that snot Pique was bagging Hamilton last year saying he thought he was better than him. LOL, yeah right - whos the one about to lose his seat again?

And lets go back a year. Hammo kicked the shit out of Alonso on many occasions during 2007 and that was with a similar setup. Yes you may argue that his success was directly related to Alonsos feedback but look at how inadequate Pique looks with the exact same situation.

Hamilton almost made the absolute maximum with what he had and was within a bees dick of winning the 2007 WDC...China and Brazil not withstanding.

He made a 2 time champ look decidedly second rate and that should never be forgotten.

It's friday practice (albeit on a thursday)

and if he manages to hose the field on a day when the F1 cars don't run, he'll be better than Senna and MS combined.

[m3gtr]

lol, like i said - merely, theres a lot of hammo haters here. Im pointing out the fact that he HOSED them all in practice and that sets up my expectations for Quali today.

His onboard was sensational... Monaco has always been a great yardstick for those drivers that were championship winning material. Senna, Prost, Mansell, Schumi, Kimi, and Gonzo...where does the list end, were all masters of that circuit and Ham is proving hes up to the task as well.

I like.

yes, much respect for the times he was putting down yesterday

he does look like a lock... but i hear now from a few guys that live close to that part of the world that it has been raining in spain (no pun intended) pretty regularly for the last few days now.

so qualiy may not be as important as it usually is

What do you mean by that Ivan?

[ctjet]

if it pisses down with rain, like its supposed to, talent and luck will play more of a role than fuel stratagy and grid position

in my humble opinion of course

1: iirc who got lumped into a 'potentially' championship winning, front row machine last year??? Eerrrr not Nelsinho (that that I rate Jr. all that highly either)..

2: Considering Alonso had kept up his championship hopes right up to the last round of pitstops doesn't really make him '2nd rate' as you say.. Not only that, I found that over the course of last and this year, Alonso has really mellowed. Before he was very hungry to beat Schumacher, MS was one of the greatest drivers of our generation, if not ever.. For Gonzo to beat him was huge, and to do it twice was monumental... However I think after last season's tumultuous shenanigans, Alonso has adjusted his attitude somewhat, he knows he isn't perfect, he knows he has to work hard and yet he doesn't feel the need to have steam blown up his own arse every day of the week...

Hamilton on the other hand, has learnt nothing, and will struggle to ever 'grow' and 'improve' as a driver... If he didn't learn from last season's bullshit, chances are he will never learn..

Dangerous ground there matey. In the same sentence you are talking about liking the guy, defending him and waxing

I seem to recall a certain Michael Schumacher landing a seat with Benetton, one race after his debut - who were right up there in 1992, 93 and ofcourse at the top in 94.

Are you suggesting he didnt win all his championships because he lucked into some of the best machinery or because of the fact that he was just bloody good?
