2009 F1 Season

[Marco-R34GTT]

BUT IT IS JUST.... WELL.... FARKED!!!

[sh@un]

F1's not going anywhere. It's no big deal. There'll be another tyre supplier deal soon enough.

Sure some of these street/desert circuits are a yawn, but there's still a whole heap of decent tracks.

[Marco-R34GTT]

Ok, trying to not be a prima donna here... However, this is going from bad, to worse, to completely f*cking ridiculous... Big teams are pulling out, F1 loosing its sole tyre supplier, Goodyear is committed elsewhere (USA, Drag scene... ect), Pirrelli are Italian and inherently useless... Firestone are basically bridgestone anyway, and Michelin will probably just tell F1 to go f*ck itself... What then? Dunlop???? Oh f*cking YAY!

[sh@un]

What's wrong with Dunlop? It's not as if they don't know how to make slicks.

The 2011 tyre deal will probably be sorted before next season even starts.

I think Trulli is good enough to get the job done if the car is good enough

trulli sucks and you know it troy. don't make me hit you.

[TALBO]

Had Trulli been driving Williams, McLaren or Ferrari's throughout his career, I have no doubt he would've been a multiple WDC

Some strange stories doing the rounds! Latest is that Button is doing the rounds and did a tour at McLaren with Whitmarsh. Button is pissed at Brawn for not coughing up the dollars and McLaren pissed at Kimi for asking too many dollars.

My attempt at a far fetched silly season change is Merc convince Mac Attack to lift the veto on RBR using Mercedes engines if they get Vettel. RBR lose Vettel, but get a great engine, a big cash payout for Vettel freeing up budget for development and meeting the terms of Kimi. The other week there were stories that Kimi was talking to RBR and people simply assumed it would result in Webber losing his seat. The strange thing at the time was when questioned Webber welcomed the idea saying that he would be a good fit for the team...a strange thing to say at the time. He also said the contracts are signed but would work themselves out...so either he was having a bit of fun with the media or there was batering going on for Vettel.

An RBR pairing of Kimi and Webber is no weaker then the Vettel-Webber. Newey knows the guy and would know whether he is better/worse then Vettel and could be a force in the background.

LOL, but it wont happen

I have considerable doubt

[ctjet]

Button holds talks with McLaren in Woking

tell you what

that would be an excellent partnership, maybe even better than the kimi/hammo dynamic

i think they'd be a great "team", where kimi and lewis would create a somewhat incompatible and inevitably spiteful relationship

... fkn excellent to watch either way

Watch the UK press just cream their pants if that happens; Two British drivers in a strong British team. Tabloid heaven.

[Roy]

I cant see their being any tension between the drivers when Kimi is one of them He doesnt say anything and keeps to himself...fireworks will only fly if Loiuse cant handle being beaten every weekend (not sure that would happen but...)

watch the shit storm rain down on them when thay come second and third instead of fist and second in melbounre

you can read the scathing headlines now

its pretty much the only reason i woud like to see kimi in there, an all brittish team would disintegrate almost as fast as an all italian one

[sh@un]

Will ppl just hurry up and sign these damn contracts already.

There's only 5 months till the season start guys, you should be testing testing testing...

[blackrex]

No testing until next January, money saving remember...

Here's some short videos that are found on YouTube bagging out USF1.

[ctjet]

if the reports are to be believed...

button is shit out of luck with getting a new "brawn" contract

mercedes is setting up some kind of German super team

Mclaren will be finding a new engine partner soon

and, kimi is not looking good for a 2010 seat at all

[sh@un]

hope the new engine supplier rumour comes to nothing...

[Ashy Larry]

I heard a rumour that TATA will be supplying motors for team Mc-Loser as the three pointed star are heading to RBR.....

[sh@un]

I hear those TATA mills are absolute ball-tearers

[wolverine]

I love TaTa's

[wolverine]

mercedes is setting up some kind of German super team

BMW Sauber comes to mind....
