2011 F1 Thread

[ctjet]

From what i've seen americans will admit wrong doing, in motorsport anyway. Especially on bikes. Hayden, Spies and Edwards are more than ready to cop it on the chin sweet when they are involved in something.

Spanish are by far the worst at not owning up. Its almost laughable when you sit there waiting for them to get back to the pits to see what utter bullshit they plan to come up with.

We could do with more americans in european motorsport. By and large they are great guys who get emotionally involved and usually have a pretty good sense of humour about it all. Anything is better than the pain of listening to Massa or Pedrosa bullshit their way through interviews with the familiar unhappy frown of dissappointment on their faces.

Everyone likes people with a bit of a personality, guess thats why not a lot of like for Massa.

A few times we've heard the commentators mention Mark being a cheeky Aussie or whatever it was, found this and thought it was sort of relevent right now;

On the same google result page was;

And this;

....and this;

and this, although this will only be funny for Simpsone fans who can remember how "Poochie the dog" ended;

Oh, yes...even with Mark not getting any race wins...he seems to have enjoyed all of his lat baron years...

3rd pic down on the left...Look at the expression on his face...he is pumped to be in F1

There is another ripper shot fromn the front that i cant find

[N1GTR]

You mean this one?

[Roy]

How did you link it...there are some other good ones as well...and the one when he was in the Jag outfit looking at the stunning brunette with DC

But the best one is when he was behind Sarah Jane pulling an "awwww yehhh" face at the site of her bum in lycra

And interesting to see GSK and McLaren are in bed together now. Perhaps I should get a job with GSK and see if I can worm my way into a role with Mac

[N1GTR]

This is another good MW bit, some reporter must've stood him up;

[Roy]

This is some of his better work

[N1GTR]

Mmm, found some others, this guy must love pulling faces;

[N1GTR]

But the best, the most photoshop worthy;

[Roy]

and another...

I think MW enjoyed DC in the garage a lot more

[N1GTR]

Haha love that fact that isnt censored

[si]

Hadn't seen this one before

[N1GTR]

"You never know whats going to happen" from Vettel - yeah priceless timing Mark

[JAS-25T]

This one needs a wagarbl

and this one needs a......well, you know

[Roy]

Hadn't seen this one before

LOL, that was the one I was trying to link...what is it with this site lately that now makes it so hard to link youtube vids?

[Roy]

..and how is this for an angle. Since Renault-Lotus (the black and gold one) is really only Renault by name due to Concorde Agreement...and with Renault now putting engines in RBR, Williams, Caterham and Lotus-Renault...what is an engine deal worth to a team? I just read that Boullier is a little tight for cash and has been speakign with Cosworth about engines for 2012. This will be great for Cosworth getting a 3rd team back on the books but bad in that it paints a pretty bleak picture for Boullier's team.

So, with lots of talk of the French govt wanting the return of the French GP, Renault wanting French drivers that they will subsidise an engine deal with Boullier in return for giving Grosjean a seat?

more on Robert Kubica

"I will be flexible, because I really like Robert and it will be good to have him return, but in the middle or end of October I need clear confirmation," Boullier

the boss needs a answer.

Maldanaldo

Di Resta

D'Ambrosio

Renault will stay with Renault, lol.

'The French manufacturer signed a new five-year engine partnership with Red Bull Racing last week while Renault F1, Team Lotus and Williams will also be using their power units in 2012'.

But Boullier is speaking with Cosworth as he has to pay for his engines now and that means loads of dollars he doesnt have. From what I understand Lotus (Proton owned and managed by some Danny Bahar fella didnt pay any money to the F1 team for some reason...yet they kept the car painted in their colours as they didnt want to publicly pull the colours and be without a naming sponsor. Seems the cheque is in the post which is always the case with dodgy Malaysian businesses
