Very funny. I guess your a red bull man?

No, just echoing your post.

I just like to see drivers I like do well, mostly I pull for Kimi.

I always had problems with Kimi at McLaren. But it sucks that Button is #1 there, I have never liked him.

 

[milohimself]

I can empathize with that, but you have to admit he's harder to hate on at Lotus (his teammate, not so much)

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Never been a Kimi fan. Very fast driver, but his attitude annoys me. I know some people read that as edgy, or cool, I read it as arsehole.

Poor Lewis looks miserable.

I may be the only Romain Grosjean fan on the planet.

I hate him, but I'm a McLaren fan. So he get violated by a male gigolo for all I care.

And the Merc has crashed in testing.

So far off to a great start. If the great Schumaker couldn't fix that team. I doubt Lewis or Rosberg can win in it.

Way too early to jump to conclusions.


But it aint looking great.

They have been around for what? Three seasons? Time to step up or become Jordan.

Jordan had a great run. They were fighting for championships back in the late 1990's.


This team needs to make a step up though.

The win last year showed that they have the potential, but they didn't show it at the end of the season.

Keeping the faith.

I ment Jordan at it's end. Middle of the pack team that developed drivers. Kind of like Sauber.

Fair enough. Although Jordan looked a bit better in their final years, because they weren't dropping boats of cash like Merc is now.

It reminds me of Toyota, sort of. All the money in the world, but nothing really to show for it. Then again, Toyota never poached high rung engineers.

I miss the 2006-2008 era when we had so many different manufactures.

Ferrari
McLaren
Toyota
BMW
Cosworth engines
Honda
Renault

And add tires. That was fun to watch. No need for DRS

Yeah, once we moved away from the tire wars, the racing was alright. The Dominant Ferrari/Bridgestone setup was a joke back in the 2000's.

We are going to have to put in a million laps over the next two days.


I take solace in the fact that Williams is still running their old car, Lotus missed a whole test last year, both were just fine.

Of coarse I ment last year. I was trying to mess with you. I wonder if Maldonaldo will get another ride next year.
